Forgiveness: Peter's Song

You said I'd deny you
Three times, you said
But I love you
I'd follow you to the ends of the earth
Three times I'd deny you
My mind rebels at betrayal

In the garden my world turns upside down
I don't understand what is happening
Where is the glory?
Now you're beaten and bruised
Grim-faced guards whip your back
Tearing flesh, the blood pours down
They ask me if I know you
Who is this man from Galilee
I can't even think, the words pour out of my mouth
I deny, I deny, I deny
I deny, I deny Adonai

The rooster crows
What have I done?
Three times, three times
I thought I was so strong
Three times, three times
I thought I was so strong
Pleading, begging forgiveness
I'm so sorry
Please forgive me

Given a second chance
You're alive I thought you died
You're still alive I can barely believe
You're alive
And you've forgiven me
How can you love me
You've forgiven me
