Jesus Appeared by the Sea (Worship Ballad)

Verse 1

Morning rested softly on the water

Nets were empty, tired hands let go

On the shore a fire began to flicker

And a stranger called them from below

Pre-Chorus

Their hearts remembered every promise

Though they scarcely dared to know

Chorus

Jesus appeared by the sea

Risen and near as the dawn

He met their sorrow patiently

And called their weary hearts on

From the deep to the shore

Mercy opened the door

Jesus appeared by the sea

And hope was breathing once more

Verse 2

John saw first and spoke the holy name

Peter wrapped his coat and plunged ahead

They found bread and fish beside the fire

Grace prepared a table in their stead

Pre-Chorus

No accusation in His welcome

Only love where fear had fled

Chorus

Jesus appeared by the sea

Risen and near as the dawn

He met their sorrow patiently

And called their weary hearts on

From the deep to the shore

Mercy opened the door

Jesus appeared by the sea

And hope was breathing once more

Bridge

Feed My sheep, He said with kindness

Tend the ones I place in you

Failure cannot end the calling

Love will make the broken new

Final Chorus

Jesus appeared by the sea

Risen and near as the dawn

He meets our sorrow patiently

And calls our weary hearts on

From the grave to the shore

Grace is stronger than before

Jesus appeared by the sea

And hope is breathing evermore

Outro

By the water, by the fire

We will follow where You lead

Risen Savior, faithful Shepherd

You are all our hearts will need
