Things were exciting right from the start A new baby born where they fish from the wharf Dad called him Ketch 'cause he'd follow the trade But first the old school house is where he must stay Little Ketch Teller felt tangled and tied Told to be quiet he penned it inside Kids are to be seen not to be heard Little do they know he's a caster of Word Last to be late to the church house by nine The Sunday School teachers keep Ketch on the line And it's, "Come follow me Jesus called to his friends" And it's, "Lay down your nets boys, let's go after men" Up in the morning and down by the shore Young Ketch a' listenin' to fishermen's lore Crafting their words 'bout how one got away But a fisher of men started catching that day La ti dai, la ti dai, oh yea La ti dai, la ti dai, oh hey Little Ketch Teller the caster of Word Trolling good news to the sinner and saint Playing with words like an artist would paint And it's, "Jesus to multitudes in open air" And it's, "Five loaves, two fish, and twelve baskets to spare" He say, "Jonah's big fish and how Nineveh prayed" He say, "Blood in the Nile ruining Pharaoh's filet" The Word caster spinning good news to them all It was just like the lake when the stripers would boil La ti dai, la ti dai, oh yea La ti dai, la ti dai, oh hey And we know in part, and we trust God's heart For His heart has a reason our reason cannot know Then for a season his test line was weak Satan said Ketch was a catch he would keep How our hearts broke when they hauled him away But now the old jailhouse is where he must stay Oh Ketch Teller felt tangled and tied Taking a journal, he penned it inside All of us feared that this one got away, one got away, one got away But the Lord of the Seas still had something to say Parachuted over the enemy wall Tempted to crumble but he would stand tall Talking with men that the chaplain can't reach The Word caster senses a new chance to teach Andy caught glimpse of a heavenly light When the glow of the Day pierced the darkness of night Richie found riches in faith, hope and love D.A. found advocacy from above Grape jelly packets replacing the wine The daily bread rations would suit them just fine They're taking communion, a jailhouse surprise And a Snicker's bar says only God satisfies The Second Most Wanted felt loved in his cell The Josher made peace just before he made bail The Derek tapped oil of the Spirit alone And the Gypsy stopped wandering and finally came home God loves it when prisoners come home See, we know in part, and we trust God's heart For his heart has a reason, his heart has a reason, so La ti dai, la ti dai, oh yea La ti dai, la ti dai, oh hey La ti dai, la ti dai, oh yea La ti dai, la ti dai Little Ketch Teller the caster of Word
