(\'Happy are they, they that love God\')
Mark 8 v.27-33
********
Jesus did say, Who do men say
I am, tell me I pray?
Disciples answered, gave reply
As they to Him drew nigh
Some say you are John the Baptist
Some Elijah they wist
You to be, or one of prophets
They you as one enlist
But who do you say that I am?
You see me true, no sham
Peter did say, you the Christ be
I am sure of this, see
Jesus told them to tell no one
That He the promised Son
He who would be rejected, killed
Suffer, then rise, God willed
Peter did say, No, no, Lord this
Shall not be, this way miss
But Jesus rebuked him, for so
Man\'s way he chose to know
Satan behind his worldly view
To avoid the cross too
Peter thought on the things of men
Distraction\'s temptings then
