Fish out of the Water

Snippet

The fish and game are the essence of life.  I was not brought here.  I was put here by God.

Scripture

Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any fish?” They answered him, “No.” 6 He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, for the quantity of fish. 7 That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his clothes, for he was stripped for work, and sprang into the sea. 8 But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards[a] off.

9 When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire there, with fish lying on it, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.” 11 So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them; and although there were so many, the net was not torn. 12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish. 14 This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead. John 21:3-14 RSV

"Fish Out Of Water" By Mudvayne

I'm a fish out of water,

Kill me and choke on the bones

Nothing seems to matter anymore,

Gotta get back to the reason,

Gotta get back to the hole

Someone throw me an anchor,

Gotta drown this disease

No one seems to matter anymore

Gotta get back to the meaning,

Gotta get back to the score

Buy my soul, so you can sell me

I don't need this, I don't need you

Trust your lies, then you betray me

I don't want this, I don't want you

Up the creek with no paddle,

Through the oars of a board

No one seems to carry at all anymore

Gotta get back to the meaning,

Gonna break backs of the poor

Let me tell you a secret,

So you can tattle and leave

No one holds to their honesty anymore

Gotta get back to the stealing,

Gotta take back from the hoard

Buy my soul, so you can sell me

I don't need this, I don't need you

Trust your lies, then you betray me

I don't want this, I don't want...

... you. I don't want to change

Who do you wanna be, the summit of integrity

Or the bottom, the filth, the dichotomy

All these fallen angels,

Skeletons of what they once were

Hanging in the closet for the world to see

Another fallen angel,

Faced by demons on their judgment

Hanging from the gallows for us all to see it

Buy my soul, so you can sell me

I don't need this, I don't need you

Trust your lies, then you betray me

I don't want this, I don't want you

Sentence Prayer

Jesus, forgive me for trusting in Satan’s lies, that have choked and poisoned me.  Open my eyes to the truth without your love I am a fish out of water.  I praise you because only you provide true food.  Help me grow up and fish for souls.  Amen!
