I posted this under a different section but due to this being the most active section, am posting it again. I was wondering if any of you have the lyrics to the song “Lord you have come to the lakeside”?

Thanks
Katie
 
have you tried writing the song name in google? That is how I often find the lyrics to a song. 🙂
 
You may be thinking of “Lord, You Have Come to the Seashore”. It’s written byCaesareo Gabarain, and can be found in the Music Issue, published by Oregon Catholic Press.

First verse:
Lord, you have come to the seashore, neither searching for the rich nor the wise,
desiring only that I should follow.
Refrain:
O Lord, with your eyes set upon me, gently smiling, you have spoken my name; all I longed for I have found by the water, at your side, I will seek other shores.

It’s very popular among the hispanic population — under the title of "“Pescador de Hombres”.
 
I know the one Meg posted is in the Lutheran “With One Voice”. If that one sounds right, PM me, and I can go find my WOV and find you all the verses.
 
Thanks so much everyone. I now have it.

Pescador de Hombres:

(English translation)

Lord, You have come to the seashore
Neither searching for…the rich nor the wise,…
desiring only…that I should follow

Refrain:

O Lord, with your eyes set upon me,
gently smiling, you have spoken my
name;
all I longed for I have found by the
water. At your side,…
I will seek other shores.

Lord, see my goods, my possessions;
in my boat you find…no power, no wealth…
Will you accept then…my nets and labor? Refrain

Lord,…take my hands and direct them
Help me spend myself in seeking the lost,…
returning love for…the love you gave me. Refrain

Lord,…as I drift on the waters…
be the resting place…of my restful heart,…
my life’s companion,…my friend and refuge… Refrain
