PLAY INTRODUCTION RIFF FOR ABOUT TWICE (8 BARS) then start the song
at the 2nd bar of the third round...
Nobody stood and applauded them |>
|> Play the same as the intro
So they knew from the start |> riff for about 8 bars.
|>
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 waters edge |>
|> Play the same as the
Told a story that few could believe |> intro riff for about
|> 8 bars.
And none could explain |>
How some crazy fishermen agreed to go where Jesus led
With no thought for what they would gain
For Jesus had called them by name and they answered
CHORUS :
su su
We will a......bandon it all for the sake of the call
s su
No ot.....her reason at all but the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to live and to die...
BRIDGE :
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
And we'll answer....
CHORUS :
su su
We will a......bandon it all for the sake of the call
s su
No ot.....her reason at all but the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to live and to die
ss
For the sake of the call.... (Repeat the last line a few
times before ending the song)
