Why did the disciples who hid during Jesus crucifixition become brave later, willing to sacrifice their own lives for what they believed? Something happened.
On the day Jesus was crucified
Peter his disciple three times knowing him denied
All the disciples deserted him, fled in fear
Jesus was dead this was clear
Jesus had warned them he would be killed
Arise on the third day, the new covenant fulfilled
The disciples hiding scared they would die
Questioning their belief in Jesus was all a lie
What would change the disciples to become brave
Willing to become martyrs preaching Jesus will save
To all parts of the world spreading Christian love
Jesus died for everyone's sins was God's message from above
Could it be they really saw the risen Christ
They saw, touched the holes in his side, his life sacrificed
Jesus told them he must go, God's Holy Spirit would stay
To give them courage to teach Jesus was the way
Against the Roman Soldiers the disciples could have fought
Hate and revenge is not what Jesus taught
The disciples became brave because they knew Jesus was true
He rose from the dead, died for all our sins in our place, me and you
