[Verse 1]
It's hard to make an honest living
When I'm not an honest guy
I cast my net into the water
And hope the tide runs high
Out there in the distance
I see you standing on the shore
You said there's a new way of fishing
That I've never tried before

[Pre-Chorus]
I thought You'd call the shots from across the sea
But You got down in the boat with me

[Chorus]
Hey Jesus, I really want to follow You
'Cause no one's ever done for me
The things I've watched You do
Hey Jesus, I really love who You are
I know I've got a ways to go
Could You walk with me that far?

[Post-Chorus]
I'm so glad You called my name
Before I could even say
Hey Jesus
[Verse 2]
I got caught up in some trouble
But I'm not putting up a fight
'Cause justice comes in the morning
For the sinning I do at night, oh yeah
Naked and abandoned
I'm bracing for the first stone
You touch my face and let me know
My accusers are gone

[Pre-Chorus]
Thought You'd take Your place in the Judge's seat
But You wrote in the sand for me, oh

[Chorus]
Hey Jesus, I really want to follow You
'Cause no one's ever done for me
The things I've watched You do
Hey Jesus, I really love who You are
I know I've got a ways to go
Could You walk with me that far?

[Post-Chorus]
I'm so glad You called my name
Before I could even say
Hey Jesus
Hey Jesus
Oh, yeah
[Verse 3]
There are three wooden crosses
Two thieves and a King
But can't they see the innocence
Hanging here next to me?
Am I too late for forgiveness?
Would You remember me tonight?
And with Your dying breath You welcomed me to paradise

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause You could've left me alone in my suffering
But You stayed on the cross with me, oh!

[Chorus]
Hey Jesus, I really want to follow You
'Cause no one's ever done for me
The things I've watched You do
Hey Jesus, I really love who You are
I know I've got a ways to go
Could You walk with me
Hey, walk with me, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
I'm so glad You called my name, oh
Before I could even say
Hey Jesus
