The Best Fisherman of All

The Best Fisherman of All

Imagine your being the little worm
chosen by the Lord for His hook, 
helping the Master bring in a mighty catch
for the Lamb’s priceless Life’s Book.

The Lord is the Master of Fishers
He knows just what He needs, 
to fill His precious net full of souls
He tends to His bait faithfully.

But, what can I say to this dear Fisherman
Not I!  Oh no, Lord not the hook!
But when I look and see how many souls that I’ve caught
and how I helped write them within His Book.

Then to my knees I humbly bow
and my will I give and say, “Lord, okay, put me on Your hook, 
for tis worth the pain that I suffer now
when I see who is written in Your Book!
