Lyrics

In the courtyard glow
By the firelight
Shadows on the stone
It was late
That night
Servant girl said"You were with him
Too"
My heart jumped
I froze
I said"I never knew"
Another voice pressed in"You're one of his friends"
I swore on my own name"I don't know that man"
You were just inside
On your way to die
And I was out here
Trying to save my life
Before the rooster crows
You said I'd turn away
Three times I said"I don't know"
Three times I walked away
But when your eyes met mine
Through the smoke and through the crowd
I broke down in the cold night
And I'm crying out right now
Lord remember me
When I denied you
Voices all around"You were there that night"
My accent gave me up
There was nowhere left to hide
I cursed and I cried"I am not that guy"
Then the rooster cried out
And the truth lit up the sky
You were bound in chains
Bruised and left alone
I was drowning
Ashamed
As the sound cut to my soul
Before the rooster crows
You said I'd turn away
Three times I said"I don't know"
Three times I walked away
But when your eyes met mine
Through the smoke and through the crowd
I broke down in the cold night
And I'm crying out right now
Lord
Remember me
When I denied you
I am Peter in the courtyard
Heart afraid of being known
I am standing by the fire
Talking like I'm on my own
But you look at me with mercy
Not with anger in your eyes
You had already chosen
To forgive me when you died
So I run back weeping
But I won't stay there
You restore the broken
You rebuild despair
You call my name
On the shoreline"Do you love me?"
(Yes, I love you)
Before the rooster crows
You see all my shame
But still you walk that lonely road
Still you call my name
Every time I fall
You are reaching through the crowd
Lift my face in the dark night
As the fear is crashing down
Lord
Remember me
Teach me to love you
Before the rooster crows
You already know
Every secret
Every failure
Every"I don't know"
But your cross still stands
And your grace still shouts my name
You turn cowards into preachers
You turn denial into praise
Before the rooster crows
You will not let go
You restore what I have broken
You make weak hearts bold
So take my trembling words
Take my shaking hands right now
I will stand and say I know you
Let my whole life sing it out
(Jesus, I know you)
Let my whole life sing it out
