I saw Him on the crowded shore
He spoke the words that my heart longed for
But I was just a lowly fisherman with nothing much to give
No houses, wealth, or fame
Not much reason to live
He came to me and lifted up my head
He calmed my fears with each word He said
Then He called my name and said: Come follow me
And in that moment, my soul had been set free

With heart and soul I will leave behind
This weary world so that I can find
My heart and soul in a joyful life with Christ
And I will follow Him with heart and soul

He found me a broken man
And He lifted me with His healing hands
He loved me when no one else would dare
And He saved me from my hopeless despair
When no one else would even care
With heart and soul I will leave behind
This weary world so that I can find
My heart and soul in a joyful life with Christ
And I will follow Him with heart and soul

I've found a love I've never known before
So I'll press toward the goal to know Him more
I just want to know Him more with heart and soul
I will leave behind this weary world so that I can find
My heart and soul in a joyful life with Christ
And I will follow Him with heart and soul
I'll leave this weary, weary world so that I can find
My heart and soul in a joyful life with Christ
I will follow Him with heart and soul!
