Keep your lure in the water, don't just sit by the shore There are souls to be caught everywhere in this old world Go where hearts are plenty, don't just drift with the tide Keep your lure in the water, in the waters of life
The lord said, "Simon, haul your nets in From now on you're a fisher of men" Well, I like fishin', That's why it caught my ear The Lord knew how to get to me And what I'd need to hear
Keep your lure in the water, don't just sit by the shore There are souls to be caught everywhere in this old world Go where hearts are plenty, don't just drift with the tide Keep your lure in the water, in the waters of life
When the sea is troubled and it's hard to stay afloat And you feel like Jesus is sleeping in the boat Don't you dare give up on the Prince of Peace And in the middle of the storm You will find a sweet release
Keep your lure in the water, don't just sit by the shore There are souls to be caught everywhere in this old world Go where hearts are plenty, don't just drift with the tide Keep your lure in the water, in the waters of life
Yeah keep your lure in the water, in the waters of life
