Poem: Let Down Your Net

Let Down Your Net

By J. Brad Chapman

When seas are rough and skies are dark,

and you’re sore and stiff and wet.

Tired and weak, with outlook bleak,

you wipe your eyes of sweat.

Remember Him who gave His all,

with no thought of regret.

So grip the seine, (despair refrain)

and now, Let down your net, and now, let down your net.

When times are harsh, and mean and cruel,

and you wince at trials in life.

Burdens call upon us all,

but you’re weary of the strife.

Remember Him whose end was grim,

but paid your priceless debt.

So grip the seine, yes, hope regain.

and now, Let down your net, and now, let down your net.

Let down your net, let down your net,

into the unknown deep,

                                                        And when you pull, it shall be full,  

So now, let down your net, and now, letdown your net.

                                                                             

While travelling on the rocky roads,

of this uncertain  life,

We pass all kinds of obstacles

of which this world is rife.

Remember Him whose life and limb,

were given with blood and sweat

So grip the seine, mid rough terrain

with faith, Let down your net, and now, let down your net.

Let down your net, let down your net,

into the unknown deep,

And when you pull, it shall be full,

                                         So now, let down your net, and now, let down your net.
