Saint Peter's Fish

Soon after Simon and Jesus had arrived in Capernaum Temple tax Collectors came for the two drachma sum In questioning Simon as to whether Jesus would pay Responding "Yes He will" and that was all Peter would say So as Simon entered the house where Jesus was staying What do you think now Simon as Jesus began saying In the simple knowing that Jesus has never been wrong Of course His argument was persuasive beyond strong Peter was quick to see and so he too did agree Though Jesus said unto him to just allow it to be For He then sent Peter down to the sea to catch a fish Knowing about the Lord Jesus you probably know about this As with that, as Jesus had said, the first fish Peter had caught There sitting in its mouth was what those collectors had sought As is the sky and the land and this the ocean that He created Let not His Power or His Glory upon you ever be dissipated Tilapia
