A Heart For Peter

A HEART FOR PETER

 

You didn’t leave

not until you fixed

a fractured vessel

by a broken vow

 

If only I’m you

I could have done it too

but I’m not

it’s hard for me to do

 

Asking for a miracle

a healing of mind

for a change of heart

it’s the cry of a wounded soul

 

In reaching to mend

a candid penitence

if only it shines

not the hidden agenda

 

Can I have your thoughts

you know all the truth

it’s easy for you to tell

what’s genuine or fake

 

A heart for Peter

that’s what I want

giving him a chance

for his genuine repentance

 

But this is not what I see

oh, please forgive me

if my judgment is wrong

bring me to your court

 

Correct my contemplation

illumine my verdict

let me see what you see

and feel what you feel

 

Let me borrow your heart

even for a minute

enable me to know the specifics

the road that I should tread

 

Just want to make it sure

whose heart is not pure

if the outcome is mine

please come and dine

 

Rebuke me

and break me

purge me with hyssop

sanctify this tainted soul

 

So much work to be done

folks and things have gone

with no promise of returning

can we find them in heaven resting

 

Unite us dear Jesus

let us hear your voice

right hope to expect

right faith to wait

Acts 4: 31-32

31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness. 32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
