Peter Do You Love Me Lyrics

 




Peter Do You Love Me

(chorus)

 Peter do you love me, go and feed my sheep

Peter do you love me, take care of the weak,

Peter do you love me, stand up and be strong

now I have to go away but I'll not leave you alone.

  

Verse 1

 When they took the Lord from the garden

Peter followed them, someone recognized him

and said there’s one of them

Peter, he denied him three times in a row

but his heart was broken when he heard

the old cock crow.

 

(chorus)

 Peter do you love me, go and feed my sheep

Peter do you love me, take care of the weak,

Peter do you love me, stand up and be strong

now I have to go away but I'll not leave you alone.

 

Verse 2

 But on the day of Pentecost, the comforter arrived

He came in like a rushing wind

The cloven tongues of fire,

Peter stood up and began to preach

To them the holy word

And after three thousand souls were saved

These words you might have heard

 

(chorus)

 Peter do you love me, go and feed my sheep

Peter do you love me, take care of the weak,

Peter do you love me, stand up and be strong

now I have to go away but I'll not leave you alone.

 

 

Verse 3

Well Peter grew stronger in the faith

and preached throughout the land

he walked and talked and prayed to God

obeying his command

and then they crucified him

they nailed him upside down

and these words you might have heard

as the hammer rang out loud

 

 Lord you know I love you, I've tried to feed your sheep

Lord you know I love you, I've taken care of the weak,

Lord you know I love you, I've tried to be so strong

thank you Lord for loving me, now I'm ready to go home.
