Story Behind The Song
After catching no fish all night Peter and Andrew witnessed a miracle when Jesus brought so many fish that their nets broke. Peter was one of the first apostles to realize that Jesus is Christ. Peter was also one of the first apostles to sin and deny that he knew Him. Later after Christ arose, Peter was out fishing and a man on the beach told him to cast his nets to the other side of the boat. When Peter's net broke from the weight he jumped into the water and swam to Christ...this song is about these events.

Lyrics
Cast your net to the sea, to the sea, the other side of the sea
Cast your net to the sea, to the sea, the other side of the sea
That's the biggest catch I've ever seen, Lord it's brought me to my knees, that's the biggest catch I've ever seen
These broken nets upon the sea they bring me hope now I believe, Now I see, Now I see, Now I Believe
Crow, I heard the rooster crow, so all alone, I've fallen so
Crow, I heard the rooster crow, but now that Christ's arose I still have hope
Who's that out there on the beach cooking up that big ol feast
Who's that out there on the beach, cast your net into, into the sea
These broken nets upon the sea, they bring me hope now I believe, Now I see, Now I see, Now I believe.
