Written 8-13-05

Verse 1:
Satan's asked for you,
to sift you as wheat;
But I've sought mercy
at My Father's feet.

But you don't hear,
you don't even see;
And soon you will deny
ever knowing Me!

Chorus:
But I've prayed for you,
That your faith not fail;
To return for your brothers,
reset their faith's sails. (x2)

Verse 2:
It's not My will for you
to fall and stay down
In fact, I will very soon
bestow on you a crown

So strengthen them;
Uplift them with My heart;
With My love that remains;
Never to depart
Repeat Chorus:

Bridge:
Simon, Simon;
My dear Simon!
What I say is true;
Simon, Simon;
My dear Simon!
He has come for you;
Simon, Simon;
My dear Simon!
Your pride won't let you see;
Simon, Simon;
My dear Simon!
My Father's heard My plea!

Repeat Chorus:
And I've prayed for you,...




“'But you are those who have continued with Me in My trials. And I bestow upon you a kingdom, just as My Father bestowed one upon Me, that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
And the Lord said, 'Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.'
But he said to Him, 'Lord, I am ready to go with You, both to prison and to death.'
Then He said, 'I tell you, Peter, the rooster shall not crow this day before you will deny three times that you know Me.'"--Luke 22:28-34
