Within the first disciples
those who left their nets
skills of the fishermen
making them fishers of men instead
Hidden talents, untapped,
in our hands, unique gifts
within us, part of the dreams
the plans of the Lord
Finding the courage,
this is our challenge
the test of our faith
to drop our nets
Letting go of our comfort
stepping out of the boat for the Lord.
