For The Sake Of The Call Lyrics

Avalon For The Sake Of The Call

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... For the sake of the call....

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....
