Starting with the disciples
when Christ walked as a man
the fire kindled, starting
by the Sea of Galilee
The fire burning
rising with the tide
as He walked the land
these fishermen by his side
Going through the land
preaching, healing in God’s
name
offering hope to them all
sharing the love of God
Following the Master’s plan
taking on our sin
dying in our place
that we may truly live
A Savior, a Shepherd
with those who were
fisherman
following our Master
doing all we can
Spreading the Good News
of God’s endless grace
to the whole world
for the whole human race

A
Savior A Shepherd
on
reading the start of the following poem
as
I posted it to www.christianpoetry.org
today
-------------------
A Fisherman
A fisherman,
a carpenter
on these we built a church
ordinary men, like all the
rest
called to serve the Lord
Out of their comfort zone
into the desert, the
wilderness
out on the water
wherever they were called
No education, no standing or
station
doing the work of the savior
standing in his place
Speaking truth to the
powerful
going in his holy name
Spreading the love,
the word of God
down to our present age
