[PETER:]
Dear Lord, it's me, it's Peter
Never mind, duh, You know me, um
I'm the one that You chose for Your vision
But obviously You mis-chose me
I just wanted to follow Him
A lost sheep that wanted to be found
So I swore that I'd lose it all for Him
And I got lost, I don't know how to be found
So anyway I wanted to say I'm sorry
It's hardly enough and I'm pathetic
But the least You can do is acknowledge me
And the most I can do is regret it
There, I said it, I don't expect a thing
Except the chance that You'd forgive me
'Cause again, I'm just a fisherman
With a ocean that's empty
Ok there, I said it I tried
I'm just back here again
[JESUS:]
Throw it on the other side
[PETER:]
What? Do my eyes deceive me?
Honestly how?
I didn't think that He could really see me
But You're right here, this is right now
What? Do my eyes deceive me?
This can't be true
[JESUS:]
Peter, I promise it's Me
Peter...
[PETER:]
I will follow You
I just remembered why I'm here
In the first place
Jesus, will You forgive me?
[JESUS:]
Peter I died to pave a way
Not to leave a friend on a ocean that's empty
So follow Me, follow Me
That's it first
[PETER:]
I wanna follow 'til the end of this earth
[JESUS:]
Peter, are you sure?
[PETER:]
Well, let's start with today
[JESUS:]
Peter, you follow Me
[PETER:]
You lead the way
He found me, I followed
And we went on our way
Eleven disciples completely blown away
He said...
[JESUS:]
I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life
[DISCIPLES:]
He's alive
[MARY:]
He's alive
[PETER & DISCIPLES:]
What?
Do our eyes deceive us?
[PETER:]
Honestly how?
The world swore that it wouldn't believe us
But You're right here, this is right now
[PETER & DISCIPLES:]
What?
Do our eyes deceive us?
[PETER:]
This can't be true!
But we will follow You, Jesus
We will follow You
What?
Do my eyes deceive me?
Not again!
He had the whole world
Waiting at His fingertips
But He chose a fisherman
He chose a fisherman
[MATTHEW:]
He chose a tax collector
[LEPER:]
He chose a beggar
[MISS MAGDALENE:]
And a prostitute
[DISCIPLES:]
He chooses anyone who will follow Him
He chooses you
[JESUS:]
I choose you
Dear Lord, it's me, it's Peter
Never mind, duh, You know me, um
I'm the one that You chose for Your vision
But obviously You mis-chose me
I just wanted to follow Him
A lost sheep that wanted to be found
So I swore that I'd lose it all for Him
And I got lost, I don't know how to be found
So anyway I wanted to say I'm sorry
It's hardly enough and I'm pathetic
But the least You can do is acknowledge me
And the most I can do is regret it
There, I said it, I don't expect a thing
Except the chance that You'd forgive me
'Cause again, I'm just a fisherman
With a ocean that's empty
Ok there, I said it I tried
I'm just back here again
[JESUS:]
