He was just a simple fisherman
When a man approached him on the beach
Something about the man intrigued him
And to an agreement they quickly reached
The man asked him to go with Him
To put his nets and fishing aside
Told him that he had a calling
To be “Fishers Of me,” with Him coincide
That day he took a step of faith
To follow a man he did not know
In time there were eleven more
All to follow Him, destination unknown
He watched this man perform miracles
Heard Him teach the Word of God
In awe he watched Him raise the dead
Always meek, unbelievers deemed Him odd
By his faith, he walked on water
And then he faltered and began to sink
The Master reached out, offered His hand
And raised him from the watery brink
The priesthood labeled Jesus dangerous
Even though He never committed a crime
They considered His words blasphemous
His demise was only a matter of time
Peter watched as the treachery unfolded
Was shocked when Judas betrayed Him
In the shadows, he was at the trial
Knew that Jesus’ survival chances were slim
In the crowd, he was recognized thrice
And afraid, he vowed he knew Him not
Immediately he heard a cock crow
And in anguish, he wept, remorse he fought
Peter was just a simple fisherman
A man that the Savior had sought
He went on to be a mighty fisherman
He proved it by the souls he caught
