We’re all fish bait
Trying to catch many fish
We’re all fish bait
Trying to do as he wishes
🐟
And swishing us around
Dangling in the water
Hoping to catch their attention
Their appetite to start a
🐠
Hunger and a thirst for righteousness
By which they might be filled
Increasing God’s kingdom
By doing God’s will
🐡
In this earth
That’s why we’ve been birthed
To bring in the draught
As Jesus says we ought
🐠
To dangle our lives
Before them with grace
The Father Will draw them
Through his favor to his face
🐡
The day knowing
You’ve been placed on a hook
So go be enticing and
Add more names to the book
🐟
Of Life that is in heaven
The Lambs’ book it is called
That none would be lost
But redeemed from the fall
🐠
Of Adam in the garden
The first family of mankind
Jesus was the bait
The Father used to rewind
🐡
The hands of time and space
Our sins he erased
To pass the torch to us
Or the line I should say
🐟
For we are the bait now
Our lives belong to him
So we attract the fish now
Now go learn how to swim
🐠

We are the bait… I like that! Hoping to catch a few fish myself… and lay them at Christ’s feet. He won’t mind cleaning them.That’s not a job I relish!
