Simon Peter song

 This is a song by Don Potter. Kyle sung it at church on Sunday.  Many people have asked me about it. Here are the words.

  I was the first disciple so I guess I knew him the best

 I had more time to be with him much more than all the rest

 I even tried to walk on water then I started down

 till he said “oh you of little faith why did you doubt”?

 My name is Simon Peter

 A name I tried to hide

 I just denied my closest friend and now he’s crucified

 My name is Simon Peter and I’ll shout it to the sky

 and I’ll regret the words I said until the day I die

 He walked along so gently with great peace in his eyes

 When he asked me to follow him my heart could not deny

 his words fill my life with joy

 I know he’s the son of man

 but when it came time to stand and fight

 I turned around and ran

 My name is Simon Peter

 a name I tried to hide

 I’ve just denied my closest friend and now he’s crucified

 My name is Simon Peter and I’ll shout it to the sky

 I’ll regret the words I said until the day I die

 Darkness turns to dawn again

 I see people in the street

 someone shouts “the tomb is empty”

 Can it be the king still lives

 Is it possible that he came back and rose from the dead

 ”I’ll arise on the third day”  I REMEMBER WHAT HE SAID

 OH MY NAME IS SIMON PETER

 A NAME I’LL NEVER HIDE

 AND I’LL NEVER DENY MY KING AGAIN AS HE SITS IN GRACE ON HIGH

 MY NAME IS SIMON PETER AND I’LL SHOUT IT TO THE SKY

 AND I’LL PREACH THE WORD OF THE LIVING GOD UNTIL THE DAY I DIE

the message this song offers is one of a loving God that loves us and can use us even after our mistakes… AMEN
