Lyrics
1. James and John were fishers-- like there father Zebedee.
It was a tradition, in there famiy---------
Jesus passed them by one day and to them he did call
They put down there nets-- and they forsook it all
C H O R U S
( When he said )
Come, and follow me----- I will make you fishers of men.
He said Come, I make you free----- Leave your burdens,
leave your cares, together we will walk and share now come,---
and follow me
2. There were many in Jerusalem the day that Jesus spoke,
of making burdens light and of taking an easy yoke.
The crowd would not hear him, Slowly turned and walked
away, He looked upon the twelve, and i can almost hear
him say
REPEAT---------------CHORUS
3. Ahhhh---Ahh , Come and follow me
Ahhhh---Ahh , Come and walk with me a-while.
