“Peter...when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren”–Luke 22:32 “Feed My sheep...”–John 21:17 Not Peter who had failed so sore Denied his Lord and even swore! ‘Feed My sheep’–it could not be ‘Strengthening others’–no not he Thrice before the gathered crowd He had failed so coarse and loud Surely he should shrink away He who went so far astray Sorrow, repentance, deep regrets Oh the rash words that fear begets Seeing his Master’s saddened glance Oh that he had another chance Peter, I know you failed Me sore And I recall your boast before Humbled you are–I still decree Strengthen and feed My sheep for Me Many have failed when sore oppressed Many have failed with fear, hard pressed Like Peter they sorrowed bitterly Oh that the Lord would pardon me Peter fulfilled his given task Peter did all the Lord did ask Sweet the forgiveness was to him Buried the failure–that public sin Maybe you too have deep remorse You too have stumbled on the course Satan would keep you in his power Seek God’s forgiveness this very hour And you who have never failed like him Why should you judge the weaker’s sin Rather lift up the erring one Seeking forgiveness through God’s own Son Humbled but steadfast they’ll walk aright Never to lean on their own might Rather to cling to the Lord as stay Keeping them true to Him all the way |
