A Song I wrote 45 years ago. Our children and I sang it to the tune of "Puff, the Magic Dragon." The repetitive stanza is the chorus.

Andrew ran to Simon, Philip called his friend, “Come and see the Holy One whose kingdom will not end.” Brothers, James and John, sons of Zebedee, overhauling fishing nets by the sea of Galilee. See the man from Nazareth walk by the sea, calling men to follow Him in a place called Galilee. See how He beckons, calling you and me - calling us to follow Him to a place in eternity. Go and tell your neighbor the Savior has come. point him now to Jesus before his day is done. Tell how He saved you, made your life brand new. point him now to Jesus before this day is through. See the man from Nazareth walk by the sea, calling men to follow Him in a place called Galilee. See how He beckons, calling you and me - calling us to follow Him to a place in eternity.

A really inspiring poem. Our Jesus is calling us and we should answer his call, Isaac

Thank you, Isaac, for reading and commenting. I've written many poems about his birth, and a few songs like this one.

Thanks, John. I sang it to our children when they were little, to the tune of "Puff, the Magic Dragon," and they eventually learned to sing it also.
