On the Road To Damascus Part Two

On The Road To Damascus Part Two By Roy Merritt (A humorous take on the life of the Apostle Paul) That was my first journey on my second Peter became a friend And with him I debated the Gentiles and foreskin He said they had to cut it because the Jews they surely do And I asked him why they should if none of them a Jew Jesus is for one and all and that means everyone He sits on God’s right hand side and He God’s only son And so we left in disagreement we left there in time Me disappointed in Peter who with Gentiles wouldn’t dine I went where I may then and those who me heard I converted all for my Jesus as I spread the word I was even shipwrecked on Malta but little did I care As long as I had an audience and with them the word to share I even went to Spain and Britain along my wandering way That’s why I write in English that’s all I’ve got to say A plot then sent me to Caesarea two years I was in the pen Two years in this prison for they wish to do me in And I eventually petitioned Rome for Roman that I be I appealed to mighty Caesar and petitioned to be free And that’s where I wound up that’s where I did go And lost my head to Caesar because he hated Christians so And yet my letters to the Christians to those I’d set free Did the most of any and all to spread Christianity Pope Clement called me the Herald the Herald of the west And of all in the Gospel I spread the Gospel best And so now I room with Jesus, Jesus Christ he’s my mate Because of all that I did spreading the Christian faith And to this day I’m celebrated the most significant of overall I was once Saul of Tarsus but now they call me Paul
