An Easter Song for the Simon Peter in all of us...
lyrics
AFTER ALL
I told you that I would be faithful and true
I told you that I’d never fall
That even if everyone else betrayed you
That I’d stand with you, last of all
But the night fell and I said
The thing I said I’d never say
When they took you away
With no sword or strength left to fight
My walk turned into a crawl
I cried my eyes out that night
‘Cause I was afraid after all
Thought that I’d never see you
To say words I needed to say
As they threw you away, but...
You came to life and you came to find me
And you said the words I couldn’t say
Just when I thought I had lost everything
You tell me that we’re okay after all
For every last moment where I denied you
I’ve hated myself and my fall
But you gave me the chance to say “I love you too”
You make me feel that I can stand tall
Now you have a job
That you made for me and you made me for
And you'll open the door, ‘Cause... (CHORUS)
Whenever I struggle and stumble these days
When I just don’t follow your call
It’s easy to feel like I will never change
Or that you don’t want me after all
But you tell me you love me
‘Cause you died the death I should have died
To give me new life, Oh... (CHORUS)
