[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
