[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Empty nets lying there at the waters edge
Told a story that few could believe, oh, and none could explain
How some crazy fishermen agreed to go where Jesus lеad
With no thought for what they would gain
For Jesus had called thеm by name and they answered:

[Chorus]
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...

[Bridge]
Not for the sake of a creed or a cause
Not for a dream or a promise
Simply because it is Jesus who calls
And if we believe we'll obey
And we'll answer...(oh)

[Chorus]
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! (oooo, yeah)

For the sake of the call. (oooo, yeah, oooh)

[Short Pause]
[Instrumental Ending]

(oooo, yeah, oooh)
