Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I woke up early with the sun in my eyes,
Thermos full of coffee and a clear blue sky.
Grabbed my tackle box and my old cane pole,
Whistled to the heavens, “Let’s hit that hole.”
He don’t wear boots and He don’t need a hat,
But He walks right beside me where the river’s at.
I don’t fish alone, no sir, I’m on a mission—
Just me and Jesus gone fishin’.
[Chorus]
We cast our cares on the water wide,
Let grace and patience be our guide.
Talk ‘bout life and things I’ve done,
Thankin’ God for His only Son.
He smiles at me with love so deep,
Even when I lose more than I keep.
Ain’t no preacher, but I’ve got a vision—
Just me and Jesus gone fishin’.
[Verse 2]
He don’t need a boat, but He rides with me,
In my old Bass Tracker on the Galilee.
We don’t say much, but that’s alright,
He reads my heart like the morning light.
The peace that comes from a still small voice,
Ain’t the sound of thunder—it’s the sound of choice.
And the fish don’t bite, but I ain’t wishin’—
For nothin’ more than this day fishin’.
[Chorus]
We cast our cares on the water wide,
Let grace and patience be our guide.
Talk ‘bout life and things I’ve done,
Thankin’ God for His only Son.
He smiles at me with love so deep,
Even when I lose more than I keep.
Ain’t no sermon, but I found my mission—
Just me and Jesus gone fishin’.
[Bridge]
I used to run, used to hide from the storm,
But His love reeled me in and kept me warm.
Now I’m anchored firm in waters still,
Every cast brings me closer to His will.
[Final Chorus]
We cast our cares on the water wide,
Let grace and patience be our guide.
Talk ‘bout life and things I’ve done,
Thankin’ God for His only Son.
And when I leave this world behind,
I hope He’s got a lake where we can unwind.
‘Til then I’ll be on my lifelong mission—
Just me and Jesus gone fishin’.
