Poem of Peter
My name was Simon, son of John, I made my living on the sea.. From the dusk until the dawn, the fishing life was all to me.. For I loved my work of spending time with a net or with a line until someone helped me to find that's not what I was meant to be.. For when I met my Lord and Savior, He said I'd never be the same.. Showing love and gracious favor, the Master changed my earthly name.. For I would now be called "a rock" and be a shepherd to His flock, so I tied my boat beside the dock. To follow Him became my aim.. Through all my years of serving Him, He never tried to deal with me according to my worldly sin, but about the man that I would be.. He looked beyond my earthly pride and saw the treasure down inside; even when I wept and cried, He spoke about my destiny.. He said for me to feed His sheep, forgetting the things I'd done before.. I knew His power would safely keep and fulfil the plans He had in store.. For Jesus Christ has named me Peter and called me out to be a leader, so now I say to you believer - He'll do the same for you and more.. |
