Lyrics

Peter's Song

I sailed on the surface,
I never really found a purpose;
I didn't want to go too deep.
I needed a compass,
A way to bring my life in focus,
A new direction I could keep.

You asked me if I'd follow and I came;
You even gave me strength with my new name.

But even though, my faith I swore is strong,
I stayed afloat but not for long.
You saw the weakness of my will,
And still, You loved me.


You could see right through me,
The only one who really knew me.
You loved me even at my worst.
You confided in me,
You reached a hidden place within me,
I felt my heart about to burst.

You told me there would come a time of trial,
When fear would paralyze me with denial.

And even though, I swore that I believed,
And promised I would never leave,
You went alone up on that hill,
And still, You loved me.


I wanted what I knew; You wanted me to seek.
I didn't want to find the strength in being meek.
I wanted to control; You wanted me to yield.
I didn't want to show this weakness that I feel.


So even though, I swore that I believed,
And promised I would never leave,
You went alone up on that hill,
And still, You loved me.

Lord, how You loved me.
