Song of Heaven’s Sea

Won’t you come with me to the green fields of Galilee,

Where poor and proud were called,

Merely to come, merely to see, in Galilee.

In Galilee, where blind men see, where peace falls on the land.

In Galilee, down by the sea, where Christ will hold your hand,

Come and stay in His own land, the region of the sea,

Where once He walked on water’s edge with twelve who mended nets

and fished for all of broken men, on God’s green sea, in Galilee.

In Galilee, where blind men see, where peace falls on the land.

In Galilee, down by the sea, where Christ will hold your hand,

Meet Me again in the Galilee, Gethsemane is past,

Again let’s go to Galilee, now sin’s ordeal is over,

Where Peter feeds my many lambs and John still writes on sands.

In Galilee, where all will see, and peace will rule the land.

In Galilee, down by the sea, where I will hold your hand,

-Inspired by the last chapters of Matthew and John
