Lord we all betray you and turn our heads away
We do not acknowledge You. Forgive us all we pray.
Peter thrice denied You when put upon the spot
Though he professed he loved you ever such a lot.
When the time of challenge came he was running scared
And, to stand beside You, he was not prepared!
Three times You then asked him if his love was true
And despite his failures you told him what to do.
He had got a calling and once he was redeemed
He would follow truly however tough it seemed,
Of course he could not do it with his human strength
But with your Holy Spirit he could go to any length.
Peter still remembered the night of his great shame
But died and rose to glory still praising Your great name
Lord give us forgiveness for the times when we fall back
And send your Holy Spirit to keep us straight on track.
Let us all proclaim You and stand firm in the test
Until at last you welcome us to our eternal rest.
