27. 1 After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way He showed Himself: 2 Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together. 3 Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing."

28. They said to him, "We are going with you also." They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing. 4 But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 Then Jesus said to them, "Children, have you any food?"

29. They answered Him, "No." 6 And He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish. John 21:1-6 (NKJV)

42. He drew me closer to His side, I sought His will to know, and in that will I now abide; wherever He leads, I'll go. Wherever He leads, I'll go, Wherever He leads, I'll go; I'll follow my Christ Who loves me so, Wherever He leads, I'll go. “Wherever He Leads I’ll Go”

43. It may be thro’ the shadows dim or o'er the stormy sea, I take my cross and follow Him wherever He leadeth me. Wherever He leads, I'll go, Wherever He leads, I'll go; I'll follow my Christ Who loves me so, Wherever He leads, I'll go. “Wherever He Leads I’ll Go”

44. My heart, my life, my all I bring to Christ Who loves me so. He is my Master, Lord, and King; wherever He leads, I'll go. Wherever He leads, I'll go, Wherever He leads, I'll go; I'll follow my Christ Who loves me so, Wherever He leads, I'll go. “Wherever He Leads I’ll Go”
