Canto do Pescador - 149

In my boat, I row
Over the waves, across the sea
Even in calm or in a storm
I don’t want to stop
With my net, I’ll fish
Many fish for the kingdom of Zion

I’ll fish for sinners for Christ
In this world full of horror
I won’t lose heart anymore
I’ll cast my net
Catching many fish for the Lord

My boat isn’t great
I’m not cut out for fishing
And they tell me I shouldn’t keep going
But Jesus sent me here
And that’s why I’ll fish
Until He’s pleased to call me

I’ll fish for sinners for Christ
In this world full of horror
I won’t lose heart anymore
I’ll cast my net
Catching many fish for the Lord

There’s a way, Lord
That’s all about love
He uses the least of the redeemed
Everyone has left me
And is ashamed of me
But happily, I’ll fish, 'cause it’s better

I’ll fish for sinners for Christ
In this world full of horror
I won’t lose heart anymore
I’ll cast my net
Catching many fish for the Lord

If there’s something of value
It’s the net of love
Whose thread is the work of Jesus
That always pulls in
The lost and the restless
To receive the light from the Lord

I’ll fish for sinners for Christ
In this world full of horror
I won’t lose heart anymore
I’ll cast my net
Catching many fish for the Lord

When there’s a storm
And fishing goes bad
I’ll get back in my boat to fish again!
Maybe this time
I won’t have any setbacks
'Cause I’m bringing Jesus to teach me

I’ll fish for sinners for Christ
In this world full of horror
I won’t lose heart anymore
I’ll cast my net
Catching many fish for the Lord

After fishing
And lying down to think
I’m joyful for the time I spent
'Cause I’ll have a reward
For the fishing, in Zion
For the souls I’ve won in this world
