The Fishers Of Men Poem by Colin Ian Jeffery

Jesus preached to a crowd on the shore of Lake Galilee
And the people pressed in upon him to hear him
Seeing two boats he stepped into one, and peached on
Telling of God's love for them, and of Heaven.
The boats were owned by fishermen, fishing all night
Without catching any fish and they were mending nets.
Jesus spoke to the fishermen's leader Simon, saying,
"Take the boat a little way out and cast your nets"
When the nets were hauled in they bulged with fish.
Jesus then said, "You shall be the fishers of men."
The fishermen became disciples, many martyred
And after Jesus was crucified between two thieves
They took his teachings out into the world
Keeping faith, saving souls, spreading God's love.
