Lyrics

Philip’s Charge
Verse 1
I never thought that I mattered that much
Never knew I’d even be noticed
But God’s love met me by the banks of the sea
And called me to land not the ocean
Verse 2
I’d never felt love like this before
When He spoke, was as if He knew me
From the day of my birth to now by this shore
It was His love that constantly drew me
Chorus 1
“Come follow” now Jesus said unto me
Drop your net or whatever that binds you
Come breathe the salt air that blows off the sea
And leave your old life behind you
Chorus 2
For I’ve charged you with purpose and a fire for your life
It’s mankind I’m after to save
Will you lay down your life as I did with mine
Take courage my child and be brave!
Verse 3
Come with me Nathaniel, we’ve found the One
The One who’s the Ancient of Days
Moses wrote in the books of Prophets and Law
Of this God who will show us the way!
Verse 4
His message of hope brings eternal life
Even me He’s willing to save
God wants to use us to declare His great love
Thru Jesus, the truth and the way! Repeat Chorus 1 & 2
