For The Sake Of The Call

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

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 water's edge
Told a story that few could believe
And none could explain
How some crazy fishermen agreed to go where Jesus lead
With no thought for what they would gain
For Jesus had called them by name
And they answered...

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
The sake of the call

Drawn like the rivers are drawn to the sea
There's no turning back, for the water cannot help but flow
Once we hear the Savior's call, we'll follow wherever He leads
Because of the love He has shown
And because He has called us to go
We will answer...

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

Not for the sake of a creed or a cause
Not for a dream or a promise
Simply because it is Jesus who called
And if we believe we'll obey

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call
No other reason at all but the sake of the call
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
For the sake of the call
We will abandon it all for the sake of the call
No other reason at all
We will abandon it all
No other reason at all
We will abandon it all (fade out)

Mirror lyrics:

We will abandon it all (fade out)
No other reason at all
We will abandon it all
No other reason at all
We will abandon it all for the sake of the call
For the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to live and to die for the sake of the call
No other reason at all but the sake of the call
We will abandon it all for the sake of the call
No other reason at all but the sake of the call
We will abandon it all for the sake of the call

And if we believe we'll obey
Simply because it is Jesus who called
Not for a dream or a promise
Not for the sake of a creed or a cause

Wholly devoted to live and to die
No other reason at all but the sake of the call
We will abandon it all for the sake of the call

We will answer...
And because He has called us to go
Because of the love He has shown
Once we hear the Savior's call, we'll follow wherever He leads
There's no turning back, for the water cannot help but flow
Drawn like the rivers are drawn to the sea

The sake of the call
Wholly devoted to live and to die for the sake of the call
No other reason at all but the sake of the call
We will abandon it all for the sake of the call

And they answered...
For Jesus had called them by name
With no thought for what they would gain
How some crazy fishermen agreed to go where Jesus lead
And none could explain
Told a story that few could believe
Empty nets lying there at the water's edge

With reckless abandon, they came
He said "come follow Me" and they came
Was Jesus had called to them
All they really knew for sure
This road would not lead to fame
So they knew from the start
Nobody stood and applauded them

Wholly devoted to live and to die for the sake of the call
No other reason at all but the sake of the call
We will abandon it all for the sake of the call
