Occasional Impressions Prayer Collections Stations of the Cross 4. Peter denies Jesus Peter’s Denial (1) Friendship is a wonderful thing There’s the companionship We’ve all experienced that over the past 3 years Travelling as a group, exchanging ideas, dreams, hopes Sharing what we have, in good times and bad, But there are limits. I like to think I’ve been a special friend Chosen to be witness to some extraordinary events I haven’t always understood what I was seeing That’s what friends are for - giving support Sometimes questioning, having to accept But there are limits I’ve been with you all the way And would have defended you in the garden But you said ‘No’ Even so I followed when they took you away Where were the others then? They’d reached their limits Now it’s just me on my own Suddenly realising what this could mean for us both Knowing I should be braver But not prepared to put my life at risk You knew this would happen - I didn’t I am ashamed of my limits Hoping the worst won’t happen But deep down knowing it will You are prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice I can only pray that I will be willing to do the same some day For this moment I fail the test But you have no limits Jill Holland Peter’s Denial (2) Rock Solid Dependable He is my Lord And I am his rock I must stand up for him He is wrong to doubt me - I would never betray him I will show strength and loyalty Weren’t you with him? No, I’ve no idea who he is Rock Cracking Pull yourself together man - no more denials He is my Lord And I am his rock I must stand up for him I must show him he was wrong to doubt me I must show strength and loyalty Aren’t you one of them? No, I’ve no idea who he is Rock Crumbling What on Earth were you thinking? How could you deny him again? He is my Lord And I am his rock I must stand up for him Was he right to doubt me? I must show strength and loyalty You are one of his friends - your accent gives you away I’ve no idea who he is Cock crows Dawn breaks God betrayed Rock crushed Man broken Bitter tears fall Barnaby Perks
