IT IS THE LORD

The discouraged Disciples returned to fishing;

They knew that their faith and courage were appalling.

They had been loved and taught by the Lord Jesus;

He was their great Teacher and Giver of righteousness.

 

The Disciples had all pledged allegiance to the Lord;

They declared that they had a strong faith in God.

But all had failed to live up to the expectations;

They deserve nothing but scorn and condemnation.

 

The Disciples toiled all night to catch some fish;

They worked hard but caught nothing to relish.

By the seashore a Man called out to the fishermen;

Who was He? He looked familiar, this Gentleman!

 

John recognised the Lord Jesus immediately;

He cried out, “It is the Lord” excitedly.

Peter swam to the seashore to see their Master;

The Lord had come in love as their Risen Saviour!
