Easter 2017
Cast your net were his first words to me
I will make you a fisher of men followed after
From the moment I tried to lift my heavy net
I knew i had met my master
I would follow him to the ends of the world
Be an apostle and learn at his feet
I thought the intent of my heart was enough
I love him enough, don’t I?
Through almost all his miracles I stood
An apostle of the prophet, such a great thing
And when I walked on water to him
Seeing only Jesus, never the storm
But a slip from my vision almost caused my death
But he pulled me up from out of the storm
And I knew how much he loved, I knew
I love him enough, don’t I?
Some words he said I never understood
Infact sometimes I was sure he was confused
Why would he tell me to watch and pray
When normal men sleep and snore at this hour
Why would he be on a mountain at this hour
How could he believe I would deny him
I love him enough, don’t I?
What would my family do without me
And that same night I denied him
Three times in fact just as he said
And when they screamed to crucify him
No words escaped my mouth in opposition
My heart was filled with grief
I’m not sure if I love him enough
Oh God, take vengeance for your sin
Show these people who is King I cried
In my heart, I knew I was just like them
I had forsaken my lord and I was guilty as others
And when the veil was torn in two
I was sure we would all perish
I would be torn apart in holy vengeance
Did I not love him at all?
But nothing happened, I lived
No hail, flood or fire fell from heaven
One day, two days then the third
Then I heard my Master was resurrected
And my shame was overtaken by joy
When I saw him, he held out his hand
Taught again and left for me a mandate
He loves me and that’s enough
