Weary fishermen toiled through the night,
In a trade that long had been their hearts' delight.
Forsaken, now, was Jesus' Great Command:
"Go and take my Word and Love to all the land."

As they dined with Him that morning by the sea,
Rejoicing in one hundred and fifty-three,
Jesus said to Peter, "Do you love me more than these?
Then, feed my lambs and feed my hungry sheep."


Chorus:
"More than these?  More than these?
Is it me you really want to please?
More than these?  More than these?
Do you love me more than these?"

Television shows and pretty designer clothes,
Computer games and toys, and all this world bestows,
Can steal our hearts and the victory from our souls,
And soon our love for Jesus has grown cold.

Yes, many things, today, consume away my time;
Take the memory of Jesus from my mind.
But, still, I hear His voice say, tenderly,
"My child, do you love me more than you love these?

Chorus:
"More than these?  More than these?
Is it me you really want to please?
More than these?  More than these?
Do you love me more than these?
Oh, prove to me you love me more than these?
Do you love me more than these?"
