Stephen Curtis Chapman - For The Sake Of The Call Lyrics

Nobody stood and applauded them



So they knew from the start



This road would not lead to fame



All they really knew for sure was Jesus had called to them



He said "Come follow me" and they came



With reckless abandon they came







Empty nets lying there at the waters edge



Told a story that few could believe



And none could explain



How some crazy fishermen agreed to go where Jesus led



With no thought for what they would gain



For Jesus had called them by name and they answered







CHORUS :



We will abandon it all for the sake of the call



No other reason at all but the sake of the call



Wholly devoted to live and to die...







BRIDGE :







Not for the sake of a creed or a cause



Not for a dream or a promise



Simply because it is Jesus who calls



And if we believe we'll obey



And we'll answer....







CHORUS :



We will abandon it all for the sake of the call



No other reason at all but the sake of the call



Wholly devoted to live and to die



For the sake of the call....
