Original Cast Of His Story The Musical Lyrics

"Do My Eyes Deceive Me?"
(performed by Black Gryph0n & Jamal Moore)
(from "His Story The Musical" soundtrack)


[PETER:]
One, two, three
Where is the excitement?
Got my hook in the sea
Waiting for a fish to bite it
Going nowhere, soakin' in the bay
Lord if You're up there
Would you show me the way?

Help Yourself in my boat
Oh it's nice to see You
Who are You? I don't know
Sir it's nice to meet You
I am just a fisherman
I am not interested
In anything You have to say
So would You just be on your way

I'm busy, I'm tired, this ocean is empty
The fish are nowhere to be seen
And I'm tempted
To just give up but I'm too poor
So I'll stay here and fish more tonight

[JESUS:]
Throw it on the other side

[PETER:]
What! Do my eyes deceive me?
What is this?
For an ocean that's apparently empty
That's a lot of fish?

What! Do my eyes deceive me?
Well who is He?
I didn't know I was lost
'Til our paths crossed

[JESUS:]
Peter will you follow Me?

[PETER:]
So who are You and why are You here?
I'm just a fisherman

[JESUS:]
Peter I came for you
And I came here to make you
A fisher of men

Peter I am on a mission
Would you like to come with?
The Father chose you for His vision
I wanna show you something

[PETER:]
I don't chase that glory
I write my own story
But what do You got in mind?
I'll be behind You

[JESUS:]
Follow Me, follow Me, that's it first

[PETER:]
Jesus I'd follow 'til the end of this earth

[JESUS:]
I wouldn't be so sure, let's start with today

[PETER:]
Jesus, I'll follow You, You lead the way

He found me, I followed
And we found the others
Twelve new disciples one by another
He said I wanna show you somethin'
Then all of the sudden
The world was blown away

What! Do my eyes deceive me?
Another sign
I know you're not gonna believe
But He turned water into wine

What! Do my eyes deceive me?
Not again
He has the whole world
Waiting at His fingertips
And He chose a fisherman
He chose a fisherman
