It's hard to make an honest living
When I'm not an honest guy
I cast my net into the water
And hope the tide runs high
Out there in the distance
I see you standing on the shore
You said there's a new way of fishing
That I've never tried before
I thought You'd call the shots from across the sea
But You got down in the boat, with me
Hey Jesus, I really want to follow You
'Cause no one's ever done for me
The things I've watched You do
Hey Jesus, I really love who You are
I know I've got a ways to go
Could You walk with me that far?
I'm so glad You called my name
Before I could even say
Hey Jesus
I got caught up in some trouble
But I'm not putting up a fight
'Cause justice comes in the morning
For the sinning I do at night, oh yeah
Naked and abandoned
I'm bracing for the first stone
You touch my face and let me know
My accusers are gone
I thought You'd take Your place in the Judge's seat
But You, You wrote in the sand for me, oh
Hey Jesus, I really want to follow You
'Cause no one's ever done for me
The things I've watched You do
Hey Jesus, I really love who You are
I know I've got a ways to go
Could You walk with me that far?
I'm so glad You called my name
Before I could even say
Hey Jesus
Hey Jesus
There are three wooden crosses
Two thieves and a King
But can't they see the innocence
Hanging here next to me?
Am I too late for forgiveness?
Would You remember me tonight?
And with Your dying breath You welcomed me to paradise
'Cause You could've left me alone in my suffering
But You stayed on the cross with me, oh!
Hey Jesus, I really want to follow You
'Cause no one's ever done for me
The things I've watched You do
Hey Jesus, I really love who You are
I know I've got a ways to go
Could You walk with me
Hey, walk with me, yeah
I'm so glad You called my name, oh
Before I could even say
Hey Jesus
