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
