We will abandon it all
For the sake of the call
No other reason at all
But the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to live and to die
For the sake of the call
Nobody stood and applauded them
So they knew from the start
This road would not lead to fame
All they really knew for sure
Was Jesus had called to them
He said "Come follow me" and they came
With reckless abandon they came
Empty nets lying there
At the water's edge
Told a story that few could believe
And none could explain
How some crazy fishermen
Agreed to go where Jesus lead
With no thought for
What they would gain
For Jesus had called them
By name and they answered
We will abandon it all
For the sake of the call
No other reason at all
But the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to live and to die
For the sake of the call
Drawn like the rivers
Are drawn to the sea
No turning back for the water
Cannot help but flow
Once we hear the Savior's call
We'll follow wherever He leads
Because of the love He has shown
And because he has called us
To go, we will answer
We will abandon it all
For the sake of the call
No other reason at all
But the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to live and to die
For the sake of the call
Not for the sake
Of a creed or a cause
Not for a dream or a promise
Simply because
It is Jesus who calls
And if we believe we'll obey
We will abandon it all
For the sake of the call
No other reason at all
But the sake of the call
We will abandon it all
For the sake of the call
No other reason at all
But the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to live and to die
For the sake of the call
