Jesus preached from Simon's boat, lake Gennesaret, Then told Simon to launch out, and let down his net. We caught naught all night! Simon cried, but then obeyed... The net broke with fish as the Lord's pow'r was displayed! "Follow me - catch men!" Christ told Simon, James, and John! He healed a leper, prayed alone, then said anon To a bed-ridden He later cured of palsy: "Thy sins be forgiv'n!" Pharisees thought: "Blasphemy! Taxman Levi joined Christ; they dined with sinners, bold... "The sick need the Physician!" Christ said, "not those whole!" Asked "Why don't your men fast?" He said "The bridegroom's here! New wine needs new bottles; new cloth on old will tear."
