The Fishing Net

A net was cast into the sea
Catching all, both wild and free
The waters stirred, the harvest near
The final haul draws ever clear

Oh, the net holds both great and small
Every kind, it gathers all
But the day will come, the choice be made
The good preserved, the rest to fade

Like the fishing net, the kingdom calls
Reaching out to gather all
But when the shore is finally met
The righteous stay, the rest forget
Oh, the righteous stay, the rest forget

The angels come, the nets are drawn
Separating dusk from dawn
The faithful stand, their hearts refined
The wicked fall, their end assigned

Oh, the net holds both great and small
Every kind, it gathers all
But the day will come, the truth be told
The good remain, the bad grow cold

Like the fishing net, the kingdom calls
Reaching out to gather all
But when the shore is finally met
The righteous stay, the rest forget
Oh, the righteous stay, the rest forget

A warning sounds, the time is near
Repent, believe, let go of fear
For in the end, the judgment's fair
The Lord decides what stays, and who forbear

Like the fishing net, the kingdom calls
Reaching out to gather all
But when the shore is finally met
The righteous stay, the rest forget
Oh, the righteous stay, the rest forget
