Lyrical Riffs See You
Tom’s out somewhere nursing his fears,
So he misses the moment when Jesus appears.
Won’t take their word, needs more than this,
Eight days later he gets his wish.
‘Here I am,’ he says, ‘battle-scarred – it’s me.
Blessed are those who believe but don’t see.’
John 20 v 24-31
Stranger on the Shore
Seven men carry the weight of regret
But what they don’t realise yet,
As they push the boat out, to run away,
A stranger on the shore is on his way.
A fistful of fresh starts for this wounded crew,
Forgiveness, hope and a new job too.
John 21 v 1-14
Free
They catch so many fish – he’s freed them all
To give up work for another call.
Takes them for a walk and while they’re strolling,
Sets Peter free from the chains of self-loathing.
A new start for all of them, not easy but good,
They’ll do much more than they thought they could.
John 21 v 15-19
The Neverending Story
Peter looks back as the group walks on,
Wants to know about his close friend John.
‘You worry about you,’ Jesus says quietly,
‘If John lives forever it’s up to me.’
That’s about it for the blog from John,
It’s only a glimpse and the story goes on…
John 21 v 20-25
