Tune: Pastor Pastorum
('Faithful Shepherd, feed me')
John 21 v.15-17
********
Christ did speak to Peter
Did with him confer
Saying, 'Do you love me
Sure and constantly?'
Peter said, 'Yes, Lord you
Know I love, I do'
'Feed my lambs', His reply
He ne'er more to die
'Peter, do you love me?'
Second time said, see
'Yes, Lord, you know I do'
Peter replied too
Jesus said, 'Feed my sheep
Love them and them keep'
Then third time Jesus said
He who rose from dead
'Peter, do you love me?'
Peter he grieved be
Replied, 'Lord you know all
I have heard your call'
'You know that I love you'
Jesus said then, true
'Feed my sheep', you restored
Though denied me, [I your] Lord

I agree with Mr. Edwards. Keep spreading the gospel, teaching the word, and taking care of our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Thanks Forever.
A lovely poem.
Thank you Orchidee.
The power of our Lord to forgive even though Peter denied him wben he needed him the most our Lord still forgave him.
Keep writing

Thanks Fine. In one of the gospels Peter says 'I will not deny you, even if I die with you'. Then it says 'Likewise said they all'.
Very good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
