I woke up one morning not long ago, thinking about the disciple, Peter. I think it may have come from a trivia question I answered, in a game the day before. Peter had a pretty amazing life, considering he started out as a fisherman. The song is done for now but it is one of those I may to add to in the future as there are still plenty of other very interesting facts about Peter left to cover. This song, based on a historic figure is a new and different thing for me. I hope you enjoy it.
‘I Follow Jesus’
My name is Peter, Greek word for rock
My lowest moment, the crowing of the cock
Although it didn’t kill me, I felt as if I’d die
My Lord and Savior, Jesus, three times I denied
I follow Jesus, my Master and my Lord
He died on the cross, He rose from the dead, his body walks this earth no more
yet He lives!
So I still follow Jesus, walk and talk with him each day
Lord, you called me, I will follow,
Yes, you called me and I will follow, lead the way
Andrew, my brother, God called him too
Nets no longer needed, with fishing we were through
Disciples of Jesus, becoming fishers of men
Who could have dreamed of what we’d become then
I follow Jesus, my Master and my Lord
He died on the cross, He rose from the dead, his body walks this earth no more
yet He lives!
So I still follow Jesus, walk and talk with him each day
Lord, you called me, I will follow,
Yes, you called me and I will follow, lead the way
I walked on water, started the church
Healing and preaching to those the world has hurt
I felt God’s awesome power, working through me
And Jesus, whom I follow, sets me free
I follow Jesus, my Master and my Lord
He died on the cross, He rose from the dead, his body walks this earth no more
yet He lives!
So I still follow Jesus, walk and talk with him each day
Lord, you called me, I will follow,
Yes, you called me and I will follow, lead the way
