I was thinking about it the other day.
Here are the words…
Lord, You have come to the lakeshore
Looking neither for wealthy nor wise ones
You only asked me to follow humbly
O Lord, with Your eyes You have searched me
And while smiling have spoken my name
Now my boat's left on the shoreline behind me
By Your side I will seek other seas
You know so well my possessions
My boat carries no gold and no weapons
You will find there, my nets and labor
O Lord, with Your eyes You have searched me
And while smiling have spoken my name
Now my boat's left on the shoreline behind me
By Your side I will seek other seas
You need my hands full of caring
Through my labors to give others rest
And constant love that keeps on loving
O Lord, with Your eyes You have searched me
And while smiling have spoken my name
Now my boat's left on the shoreline behind me
By Your side I will seek other seas
You, who have fished other oceans
Ever longed for by souls who are waiting
My loving friend, as thus You call me
O Lord, with Your eyes You have searched me
And while smiling have spoken my name
Now my boat's left on the shoreline behind me
By Your side I will seek other seas
Here is what this song means to me.
There is a place where Jesus meets us. By the Sea of Galilee, by the lake shore, in the place of peace. And there I/we encounter him. We find welcome and grace. We find a truly spiritual understanding and embrace of who we are.
And in that embrace, if we think that there should be a change, then it just comes naturally. Without guilt, without shame, without manipulation. Being in the presence of God just changes us, it moves us.
Maybe this day I will leave my boat on the shoreline. I will stop the journey as I have known it and seek other seas with him.
How about you? Maybe today is a good day for a holy embrace and a new direction.
