Peter's Song

When the rooster crowed that morning

It startled me awake

I suddenly remembered what happened yesterday

How they crucified my savior

His broken body on display

I was overwhelmed with sorrow

Weighed down with my disgrace

How could I let you down?

How could I cause you pain this way?

How could I let you down?

How could I turn and walk away?

I'll never be the same

Everything has changed

How could I let you down?

Oh, Jesus

How could I let you down?

I said, I'll be right there with you

Even if it costs my life

And when I saw you surrounded

I drew my sword to fight

That night they asked me if I knew you

And I lied straight to their face

I could hear the rooster crowing

Just as I denied your name

How could I let you down?

How could I cause you pain this way?

How could I let you down?

How could I turn and walk away?

I'll never be the same

Everything has changed

How could I let you down?

Oh, Jesus

How could I let you down?

I said, I'll go back fishing

Back to who I used to be

Then I saw you by the fire on the shore of Galilee

And you asked me if I loved you

I cried, Lord, you know I do

It was then I found forgiveness

It was then I learned the truth

You never let me down

No matter what I've done

You never let me down

No matter how far I've run

I'll never be the same

Everything has changed

You never let me down

Oh, Jesus

You never let me down
