For The Sake Of The Call

We had a great meeting on Monday night. Sam was there to drill us on Russian phrases and pronunciation. I guess that meeting really got my mind racing and I couldn't get to sleep until sometime after 1:30am. The whole time I had this song running through my head. It was Stephen Curtis Chapman's -- "For The Sake Of The Call".

I'm sure most of you have heard it and remember the tune, but if not the words still convey the meaning. LYRICS:

Nobody stood and applauded them So they knew from the start 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 Told a story that few could believe 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 : We will abandon it all for the sake of the call No other 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 : We will abandon it all for the sake of the call No other reason at all but the sake of the call Wholly devoted to live and to die For the sake of the call....
