Couplet 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

Pré-Refrain

I thought you’d call the shots
From across the sea
But you got down in the boat
With me

Refrain

Hey Jesus
I really want to follow You
Cause no one’s ever done for me
The things I 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-Refrain

I’m so glad You called my name
Before I could even say
Hey Jesus

Couplet 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
Naked and abandoned
I’m bracing for the first stone
You touch my face and let me know
My accusers are gone

Pré-Refrain 2

Thought for You’d take Your place
In the Judge’s seat
But You You wrote in
The sand for me

Refrain

Hey Jesus
I really want to follow You
Cause no one’s ever done for me
The things I 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-Refrain

I’m so glad You called my name
Before I could even say
Hey Jesus

Boucle

Hey Jesus

Couplet 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

Pré-Refrain 3

You could’ve left me alone
In my suffering
But You stayed on the Cross
With me

Refrain

Hey Jesus
I really want to follow You
Cause no one’s ever done for me
The things I 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 walk with me

Post-Refrain

I’m so glad You called my name
Before I could even say
Hey Jesus
