# FISHERS OF MEN **The Faithful Ones** [INTRO – DARK WATER / DISTANT WIND] [LOW BARITONE GUITAR / NEY / SPARSE OUD] [MALE – SPOKEN, QUIET AND COMMANDING] Matthew chapter four, verse nineteen “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” [PAUSE] [DEEP SUB-BASS PULSE] **Leave the shoreline.** --- [VERSE 1 – MALE] All night long, we worked these waters, Empty nets and tired hands. Chasing something we could hold onto, Never knowing where we'd land. Then a voice came across the water, Cutting through the morning wind. “Leave your nets and come and follow.” Nothing was the same again. --- [PRE-CHORUS – FEMALE] There's a world beyond the shoreline, There are hearts beneath the waves. We weren't called to watch them sinking. **We were called to point the way.** [BEAT BUILDS / ELECTRIC FIDDLE RISES] --- [CHORUS – MALE + FEMALE] **THROW THE NETS INTO THE DEEP!** [HEAVY CONTROLLED DROP] There are souls beneath the waves, There are hearts that need His grace. **LEAVE THE SHORELINE, FOLLOW JESUS,** Let the old life fall behind. He said, **“Come and follow Me.”** Now we're **FISHERS OF MEN.** [EDM INSTRUMENTAL RESPONSE] --- [VERSE 2 – FEMALE] Some are drowning in addiction, Some are bound by guilt and shame. Some have never known His mercy, Some have only heard His name. Some are smiling while they're breaking, Some are crying where no one sees. If we've found the living water, We can't keep it underneath. --- [PRE-CHORUS – MALE] There's a world beyond these walls now, There are people searching still. We can stand here on the shoreline, Or go wherever Jesus will. [SUB-BASS BUILDS] --- [CHORUS – MALE + FEMALE] **THROW THE NETS INTO THE DEEP!** [HEAVY CONTROLLED DROP] There are souls beneath the waves, There are hearts that need His grace. **LEAVE THE SHORELINE, FOLLOW JESUS,** Let the old life fall behind. He said, **“Come and follow Me.”** Now we're **FISHERS OF MEN.** --- [INSTRUMENTAL – ELECTRIC FIDDLE + OUD DUEL] [DEEP EDM BEAT / BANJO / BARITONE GUITAR / DARBUKA] [NEY ANSWERS ELECTRIC FIDDLE] [GLITCH CUT] [SILENCE] --- [BREAKDOWN – MALE + FEMALE, SUNG] We don't need another spotlight. We don't need another stage. We don't need the world to know us. **They just need to know His name.** [LOW KICK PULSE] If one heart hears the Gospel, If one lost soul comes home, Then every mile was worth it. **Jesus, send us. We will go.** --- [BRIDGE – MALE + FEMALE CALL AND RESPONSE] [MALE] Who will go into the darkness? [FEMALE] **We will go.** [MALE] Who will reach the ones forgotten? [FEMALE] **We will go.** [MALE] Who will leave behind the shoreline? [FEMALE] **We will go.** [MALE] If He calls us to the deep? [FEMALE] **We will go.** [BEAT BUILDS HARDER] [MALE] Jesus, where You lead... [FEMALE] **We will go.** [ALL MUSIC CUTS] [TOTAL DEAD SILENCE] [MALE – LOW] Who are we?
