(Once upon a time - God so loved the world...)
Johnny used work on the docks
Fishing's been his life since John was a pup
It's tough - to stop
He would work with Simon and James
Workin' for his dad - he made fish fillets
For lunch - mmmm - for lunch

He says
We gotta hold on to what we're taught
Because we may be Christians doesn't mean we forgot
We got deep water and nets and rods, so now
We're fishin' for God

Oh... the pathway's clear
Oh... fishin' on a pier
Hey, my man, the lake is right here
Oh... fishin' on a pier

Tommy's taught his six-string to talk
With Keith, Todd and me
Makin' music Vegas rocks those drums
Mmmm... his drums
Jesus gave us somethin' to say
Cause Christ's in our lives ... now we're fishers
Parody's our bait ... some say
We gotta hold on to what we're taught
He called us as musicians and we're praisin' our God
We got deep water
And lots of rock and roll
We're fishin' for God

Oh ... the pathway's clear
Oh ... fishin' on a pier
They're my band, the lake is right here
Oh ... fishin' on a pier
Fishin' on a pier

We gotta hold on ' steady your rod
We fish for the ones that are called out by God
