Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.
~ Luke 5:4
 
Master, we've been out all night, casting in the deep;
The sea was rough, the work was hard, we haven't got much sleep.
We've come back empty-handed, all cold and sopping wet;
The last thing that we want to hear is, "Men, let down your net!"
At times today, we're up all night, and worry's got us canned.
When life is rough and times are hard, we plead and plot and plan.
We come up empty-handed, because we do forget
Our Lord and Master stands on shore and calls,
"Let down your net!"
♫       
Let down your net - just one more time.
Cast all your fear and worry with the line.
Let down your net, just trust in Me;
Open up your heart, and receive!
