PETER'S EMBRACE

Master, you came to show the Way
But many did not follow You
You spoke and Your words fell like falling rain
Refreshing the thirsty soul
How could they deny the Lord of Lords
A Savior to set them free
There is healing and strength at the touch of His hand
Only the Spirit can make you see.

Master, You prayed till the early dawn
As we lay fast asleep
We heard the sound of soldiers all around
They've come to take You away
Not You, my Lord, I won't let this be!
You've not done anything wrong!
So, I drew my sword, to take revenge
But Jesus spoke silence to me.

"Peter, the time has come for Me to die,
Just like the Father has said
Go now, and be strong, for I will return,
Never to leave you again."

But the anguish and pain
The ache in my heart
Why did they take my Lord away?
It was then I denied of even knowing Him
Why did they take my Lord away?
He is a Man of His word, He will return
Or has He forgotten me?

Now, all's been done, and they've killed the One
The One who could set them free
He is a man of His word, He will return
Or has He forgotten me?

Mary came to our house one day
"They've rolled the stone away."
We ran to the tomb to find Him gone
Back home again , we tried to understand
"Where had they taken Him now?"

Then, suddenly, there appeared to me
I knew by the scars it was He
He had remembered me and returned to see
Just like He said it would be
Such joy had come into this heart of mine
I knelt to kiss His feet
I stood to embrace the Lord of Lord's
Oh He is the King of Kings.

He is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lord's
A Savior to set us free
There is healing and strength
At the touch of His hand
Only the Spirit can make you see
Only the Spirit can make you see.
