Peter’s Song

I am a man named Peter who denied Your existence,

A prodigal son that played out that way;

But You saw me through Your loving and forgiving eyes,

And convinced me of my worth that day.

I thought I knew the road I was destined to travel,

You found me as a poor fisherman;

But You saw me through Your loving and forgiving eyes,

And You asked me to become a fisher of men.

Refrain – You make beautiful my broken pieces,

You are the creator of my soul;

As my life fully increases,

      Make me to shine as You make me whole.

Take each broken piece into Your loving hands,

Craft me new into Your beautiful vessel;

For You alone know where my heart stands,

And where my soul now yearns to set sail.

You fully knew I was not a speaker in public view,

You found me there lacking and confused;

But You saw me through Your loving and forgiving eyes,

And turned my weakness into a strength as proof.

I was not a writer as others let me know,

My confidence was left to their thoughtless demise;

But You saw me through Your loving and forgiving eyes,

And showed me that You are the One who is wise.

Refrain – You make beautiful my broken pieces,

You are the creator of my soul;

As my life fully increases,

      Make me to shine as You make me whole.

Take each broken piece into Your loving hands,

Craft me new into Your beautiful vessel;

For You alone know where my heart stands,

And where my soul now yearns to set sail.
