Peter was strong, steadfast and brave:
whatever went wrong, he never ran away.
Nicknamed "the rock", by Jesus he stood,
day after day - he knew he always would.
Trusting his strength when times were tough
until the time came when his strength was not enough.
From the darkness they came with the torches of light,
carriers of fear cutting through the night.
Peter grew weak and left the Lord's side,
slipping away, hoping to hide -
hear him cry, hear him cry....
he opened his heart and out it poured,
he was broken before the Lord.
-
No sooner had tears left Peter's eyes
than Jesus was taken and crucified
but Peter came back 10 times as brave
when Jesus was risen and Jesus forgave -
this time Peter knew from where true strength came
every time a miracle was done in Jesus name....
Peter opened his heart, and out it poured,
he was broken before the Lord.
