For The Sake Of The Call Lyrics - Singles - Stephen Curtis Chapman

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 

Empty nets lying there at the waters edge 

Told a story that few could believe 

And none could explain 

How some crazy fishermen agreed to go where Jesus led 

With no thought for what they would gain 

For Jesus had called them 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.... 

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....
