Venite Me

Been so many places, seen so many faces
Pulling me down different lanes
They said they'd make me free, each whispered 'follow me'
As they handed me nets full of chains
You were walking in the sand, looking at this broken land
Which You knew You soon would save
You called to me by name, my life will never be the same
Since You said "Throw your nets into the waves!"

And as I cast my nets over the shore
I find that I don't need them anymore
All that I will ever need is You
You want me to be part in all You do
And though I'm tied and chained to my sinking boats
The things I thought would keep me afloat
You say it doesn't have to be this way
I can feel the hope rising upward when You say
"Venite Me"

Been clinging to fake life ropes, as if they were my one hope
They're pulling me down to the deep
Want to start this trip anew, and my only hope is You
For You carry the things that keep
I know that where the gate is wide, it's easier to fall inside
And harder to walk away
But You're with me all the while; with every step and passing mile
And You are here to stay

And as I cast my nets over the shore
I find that I don't need them anymore
All that I will ever need is You
You want me to be part in all You do
And though I'm tied and chained to my sinking boats
The things I thought would keep me afloat
You say it doesn't have to be this way
I can feel the hope rising upward when You say,
"Venite Me"

Venite Me, come follow me... running through my head
Will I stay on the easy path or take the hard road instead?
I know the one that leads to You is the road less tread!
Venite Me, come follow me... running through my head
Will I stay on the easy path or take the hard road instead?
I know the one that leads to You is the road less tread!

And as I cast my nets over the shore
I find that I don't need them anymore
All that I will ever need is You
You want me to be part in all You do
And though I'm tied and chained to my sinking boats
The things I thought would keep me afloat
You say it doesn't have to be this way
I can feel the hope rising upward
I cam feel the hope rising upward
I can feel the hope rising upward when You say
"Venite Me"
