355. Peter, James and John in a fishing boat

1 Peter, James and John in a fishing boat
Peter, James and John in a fishing boat,
Peter, James and John in a fishing boat,
down by the deep, deep sea.

2 Fished all night and caught no fishes,
fished all night and caught no fishes,
fished all night and caught no fishes,
down by the deep, deep sea.

3 Christ came walking down by the water,
Christ came walking down by the water,
Christ came walking down by the water,
down by the deep, deep sea.

4 Now their nets are full and breaking,
now their nets are full and breaking,
now their nets are full and breaking,
down by the deep, deep sea.

5 Called their friends to come and help them,
called their friends to come and help them,
called their friends to come and help them,
down by the deep, deep sea.

6 We are fishers of men for Jesus,
we are fishers of men for Jesus,
we are fishers of men for Jesus,
out on life's big sea.
