Seven men beside Tiberias After wonders, after

fear Peter said, I go a -fishing We go

also, answered there Night stretched over empty water

Every drawer returned the same The hands that once

had left the nets Found no answer in the old tray

Morning placed a man on shore

Unrecognized within the gray Children,

have ye any heat? No Was all that they could say

Cast the net on the right side The water

took the word The cords grew hard with multitude

Too full to lift aboard It is the

Lord! The empty night has heard Him It is the Lord!

The sea itself has served Him The beloved disciple knew Peter

could not wait for land He wrapped his coat and left

the boat To reach the risen man

The others dragged the heavy nets 200

cubits near A charcoal fire waited With bread and fish prepared

Bring of the fish now taken Peter drew the catch ashore

153 great fish Yet the net remained unbroken Come and dine

No disciple asked his name Come and dine They knew the

one who came He gave them bread and gave them fish

The third appearing by the sea The risen Lord fed weary

men Before he spoke to Peter Simon, son of

Jonas, loves thou me more than these Yea, Lord, thou knowest

that I love thee Feed my lambs Simon, son of Jonas

Loves thou me Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee

Feed my sheep The third question opened

sorrow Three wounds answering three denials Lord,

knowest all things Thou knowest that I love thee

Feed my sheep

Follow Jesus even where the road is steep The one restored

beside the fire Was called to feed the sheep

Youth had chosen Peter's pathways

Age would bring another hand The saying

marked the death by which He would glorify God

Then the simple call returned Beyond comparison

or fear Follow me The road ahead belonged to

Christ Not rumors about another

Peter saw the love disciple, Lord, what shall this man do?

The answer cut comparison. What is that to thee? Follow thou

me. A saying spread that he would never die, but Jesus

had not made that claim. The witness set the record right

and signed the truthful page.

Love must feed the lambs. Love must guard the sheep. Restoration

walks behind the Lord and keeps the charge received. Love must

follow Jesus. Not another person's road beside the sea where failure

burned. Peter heard you. Follow me. This disciple wrote these things

And his witness is true So many other works were done

The world itself could not contain

The books that might be written
