THERE’S A BIT OF
PETER IN ME
I’m thinking of one of the twelve
I’m thinking of Peter
thinking of a common fisherman
dropping his net in the Galilee
and without question
following Jesus
thinking of him
listening to His teachings
witnessing the miracles
and when he beheld Jesus
walking toward him and his brethren
on the lake
he sprang right out of the boat
and walked upon the water to meet Him
till his faith faltered and he sank
Oh, sometimes I have
that fervent zeal of Peter
and other times I sink
like a stone
Sometimes I proclaim
You are the Christ,
the son of the
living God
other times I shrink
into the background
and say nothing
Sometimes I imagine myself
blurting out, along with Peter
Even though all may
fall away
because of You
I will never fall
away
yet even upon thinking
that thought, can hear
a rooster crowing
in my ear
But oh! how the apostle
loved Him
how he rose to the plea of
Feed My sheep
How he came through
on the Day of Pentecost
proclaiming the Gospel
and leading thousands
to Christ
It was his stellar moment
Peter may not have done it all
perfectly, but he did
what he was called to do
and in that spirit
I hope to feed
a few of His sheep
myself
