Saint Peter

Hard working Galilee fisherman Chosen by Jesus Rock within a stormy sea Upon which to build the Church. When Jesus was arrested Peter was asked, "Do you know this man? " Three times as cockerel crowed He denied him and fled away into the night. Peter went to Rome, hub of the world Where Nero tried to eradicate the faith Crucifying, burning, killing Christians Peter fled Rome meeting Jesus on the road "Where are you going, Lord, " asked Peter. "I go to Rome to die in your place, " replied Jesus. Ashamed, Peter returned to Rome to be crucified Upside down in the arena before a howling crowd Dying the first bishop of Rome for the truth And almighty God's everlasting glory.
