Peter - From Fisherman to Apostle

[stormomar]

Simon Peter was a fisherman
who met Jesus one day
he was not the same man again
from then he walked the savour’s way

Although Peter failed many times
Jesus still loved him much
even after his denying of the Lord
he again received the divine touch

There’s a very important lesson
for all of us to heed
Jesus great love for Peter
and for us is true indeed

In the day of Pentecost
Peter preached God’s word
which brought spiritual life to many
that the world would think absurd

We all must also thank Peter
for he gave us his two letters
from which we receive much good instruction
so we can be discipled better

Peter became one of the apostles
indeed Jesus chose him for that role
as our savour also chose our pathway
so to glorify Him would be our goal

So what’s Peter’s legacy to us?
as one who clearly loved his Lord
it must be to trust and obey
and walk humbly with our God
