From the recordings James Son of Zebedee and The Twelve

Lyrics

James, Son of Zebedee
Verse 1
Head strong, plucked from the water by the Son of Man
Bold and brash, one son of thunder, called to walk the land
Transformed by the transfiguration of Jesus Christ
No longer led by darkness, but by the One true Light
Verse 2
James, son of Zebedee and brother to the one called John
Commissioned by the risen Christ to do the work of God
Just a simple fisherman changed by a life of grace
Will sit around the throne of God, see Him face to face
Chorus
As we lift our hands up high, we thank You for Your love
For this one disciple who said yes, when You called
As we raise our song on high, re-deemed by Your Cross
Pierced by sword give courage Lord, no matter what the cost
Verse 3
Called to spread the Gospel you learned from the Word of God
There when Jairus’ daughter, from the dead into Christ’s arms
Nite by nite led by the hand, of the very Son of God
Pushed thru the misery of the pain when (Jesus) Christ was gone
Verse 4
Your mother watched you walk with God, changed the heart of Salome
Those who believe in Jesus as the truth, He will light the way
James knew Christ was the only way, he gave his life so he could say
Believe in Jesus, follow God and you will never be the same…
And you’ll live with Him one day!
