True employment

Ken Cooper

“Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Matthew 4:19
Straightway I leave my net and follow Christ.
I’ve changed my job and now, with
employment new,
Seek out the immortal.

I cast an unconditional net of love, which
gathers all.
It returns full, no break, no flaw,
But overflowing with gratitude,
A gathering into God’s kingdom—
All needs supplied.

In daily service, I now launch forth,
Untiring in the Truth that makes us free,
Fully led by Christ,
Rejoicing in the healing affluence and
ever-presence of Love.

I live God’s purpose: performing His will.
My life is God and my net always full.
