The full lyrics of a Christian hymn about Jesus calling a fisherman at the seashore. The song portrays surrendering possessions and offering hands, heart, and arms to serve the poor and broken, asking for divine direction to be sent wherever needed.
Lord, when you came to the seashore, you weren't seeking the wise or the wealthy, but only asking that I might follow you. Lord, when you came to the seashore, you weren't seeking the wise or the wealthy, but only asking that I might follow you. Oh Lord, in my eyes you were gazing, kindly smiling, my name you were saying. All I treasured I have left in the sand. There, close to you, I will find other sea. Lord, you knew what my boat carried, neither money nor weapons for fighting, but nets for fishing, my daily labor. O Lord, in my heart As you were gazing, kindly smiling, my name you were saying. All I treasured I have left on the sand there, close to you. I will find other seas. Lord, have you need of my labor? Hands for service, a heart faithful loving, my arms for lifting the poor and broken. O Lord, in my eyes you were gazing, Kindly smiling, my name you were saying. All I treasured I have left on the sand there. Close to you, I will find other seas. Lord, send me where you would have me, to a village or heart of the city. I will remember that you are with me. O Lord, in my eyes you are gazing, Kindly smiling, my name you were saying. All I treasured, I have left on the sand there. Close to you, I will find other seas.
