We often wonder, or at least I do, if I will have the courage when needed to really stand up for Jesus. Peter thought he would never deny Jesus, but he did. If Peter failed, I fear my weakness is so much weaker. Lord, I pray to never deny you.
Denying Jesus
"Deny me once,
Deny me twice,
Deny me thrice,"
was Peter's woe as the Son of Man was led away just moments ago.
"No! Never,"
he proclaimed before the Lord was captured and chained.
"Deny me once,
Deny me twice,
Deny me thrice,"
resounded in Peter's ear as the One he held most dear
was dragged through the streets, bloodied from head to feet.
"Deny me once,
Deny me twice,
Deny me thrice."
comes a warning from heaven's paradise.
comes a warning from heaven's paradise.
Listen closely to the Savior's sigh, for He hears our own weak cry;
a denial as reach for toward heaven's aisle.
a denial as reach for toward heaven's aisle.
"No! Never,"
a guilty claim, regarding His existence and His name.
