From Peter's Eyes

Tomorrow I’ll be crucified,
Not in the way that Christ died,
For I’m not worthy to die glorified,
So I’ll be flipped upside,
A crucifixion modified,
Through Christ I’m purified,
No longer a misguide,
Terrified,
Mystified,
Misapplied,
Christ’s blood has made me beautified,
Verified,
Unified,
For my life’s been rectified,
I’ll leave this earth satisfied,
Cause I’ve done all I can do to get the good news out and multiplied,
Who would’ve thought I would be at this place,
I’ll soon depart to see Christ’s holy face,
I was called by Christ to walk in his ways,
Standing on the shore of the Galilean seaside,
Christ’s call to me could not be denied,
My life’s work prepared me for this time,
Each day washing my nets,
Putting away the days frets and storm threats,
Preparing for another day on my boat, my only asset,
My life was radically changed, as he proclaimed,
The truth of the Gospel unashamed an’,
Untamed,
For there was a power in his name,
And the reason he came,
The world will never be the same,
Change their aim,
Stop living for fame,
See the power in Christ’s name,
Jesus was on a mission,
Preaching the great commission,
With God’s permission,
He was in full submission,
Boldness, strength, and ambition,
He told us disciples, “it will all come to fruition”,
Not much time to reach this nation,
So we must keep this position,
No matter the condition,
Throw away the inhibition,
Face the opposition,
Fight tradition,
God’s word ammunition,
I followed Christ through the storms on the seas,
The healing of those in need,
He told us, “these things you can also do if you believe”,
He sent us out among the lost sheep of Israel full of disease,
And unease,
Christ said, “Whoever receives you receives me”,
Those who oppose you will someday see,
That their life wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be,
By then it will be too late to be redeemed,
As for me I’m done with the worldly scheme,
I now live my life fighting on Gods team,
I kept the theme,
Even though at times I swam upstream,
When the winds came I cried, “Lord come and save me!”
When Jesus said I should act mercifully to a brother in need,
When I asked Jesus what else will there be? Is there more I can see?
When I missed my watch and fell asleep in Gethsemane,
When I denied Jesus and tried to repent immediately,
Still Jesus saw the good in me,
I discovered the tomb where there was no body,
Jesus came back to reveal the great commission to me,
At the Sea of Galilee,
I pressed on to spread the news,
I had nothing to lose,
Now I await my time to leave this land,
To reach out and take Christ’s hand,
As he leads me to the Promised Land,
So take a stand,
Your life’s all been planned,
Only in Christ can you withstand,
And enter the kingdom which is near at hand.
