Lyrics
I’M GOING FISHING
© 2023 by Amy Abernathy & Jeff Platts
Verse
Today I’m gonna throw my net out,
But not for bass or perch or trout
I’m taking my reel and I’m taking my rod,
I’m baiting my hook with word of God,
I’m going to catch my limit today,
I’m gonna reel in some sinners and show ‘em the way,
We all know that feet don’t float,
But Jesus said get out of the boat.
CHORUS
I used to be a Sunday Christian,
till Jesus sent me on a mission,
So starting right now I’m going fishing,
‘cause Jesus saved me from my sin
now I’m going fishing for men,
Verse 2
The world will be my fishing hole,
Here today I’m gonna win some souls,
Those who swim in the waters of sin,
Jesus can deliver them,
If one of them folks breaks my line,
then I’ll share it again another time,
The Lord calls us to spread his word,
So I’m making darned sure his truth is heard
CHORUS
I used to be a Sunday Christian,
till Jesus sent me on a mission,
So starting right now I’m going fishing,
‘cause Jesus saved me from my sin,
now I’m going fishing for men,
BRIDGE
Telling everyone about 3:16,
And what those simple words truly mean,
And how God’s love changes everything,
Everything, Everything.
CHORUS VARIATION
Jesus sent me on a mission,
but I don’t want no recognition,
All I want is to go fishing,
‘cause Jesus saved me from my sin,
now I’m going fishing for men,
CHORUS
I used to be a Sunday Christian,
till Jesus sent me on a mission,
So starting right now I’m going fishing,
‘cause jesus saved me from my sin
now I,m going fishing for men,
now I,m going fishing for men,
I,m going fishing for men,
