For the Sake of the Call (Re:Created) Songtext
von Steven Curtis Chapman

Nobody stood and applauded them
So they knew from the start
This road would not lead to fame
All they really knew for sure
Was Jesus had called to them
He said, "Come, follow me" and they came
With reckless abandon they came

Empty nets lying there at the water′s edge
Told a story that few could believe
And none could explain
How some crazy fishermen
Agreed to go where Jesus led
With no thought for what they would gain
For Jesus had called them by name
And they answered


We will abandon it all
For the sake of the call
No other reason at all
But the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to live and to die
For the sake of the call

Drawn like the river's drawn to the sea
Oh, there′s no turning back
For the water cannot help but flow
Once we hear the Savior's call
We'll follow wherever He leads
Because of the love He has shown
And because He has called us to go
We will answer

We will abandon it all
For the sake of the call
No other reason at all
But the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to live and to die

Not for the sake of a creed or a cause
And not for a dream or a promise
But simply because it is Jesus who calls
And if we believe, we′ll obey
And we′ll answer
We will answer


For the sake of the call
And we will abandon it all
For the sake of the call
No other reason at all
But the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to live and to die
For the sake of the call

For the sake of the call
For the sake of the call
