最近從美國的弟兄姊妹那邊聽到一首感人的新創作,是由美國宣教士Billy創作的,他透過話語體會到使徒彼得的心情,於是寫下了「I Am Peter」這首歌,歡迎大家聽聽看^.^
創作起源:
In light of the message this week(March 06, 2009), I decided to share w/ you my brief encounter w/ our Lord Jesus. Four months ago, as I sang a song of repentance in tears the Lord stood before me. His soft glow filled the room, and although I could not see his face I could see the rest of him. As he left, He touched me. The song I was singing at the time is a song called, I Am Peter. It is a song of repentance and hope and it is based on Peter’s encounter w/ Jesus after the Lord resurrected. We learned from SSN the deep meaning behind Jesus questioning Peter’s love for him three times; just as Peter denied Jesus three times, the Lord was trying to restore Peter by asking him if he truly loved him three times. So in many ways this song is a song of restoration for all of us who have fallen short of the glory of God’s Providence. I’m sure the Lord is going to many people these days touching them and loving them when they repent deeply even though we don’t see him. Below is the song.

歌詞:
I AM PETER (music and lyrics by billy)
I am Peter in the garden asleep in Your hour of prayer
I am Peter in the garden lashing out when they came to take You away
And like Peter who denied You, I have done the same I’m sorry Lord
(chorus)
Hear my repentance hear my bitter cry
Forgive me for denying you and running from Your side
Lord You know that I love, You know that I love, You know that I love You
And I will feed Your sheep, I will feed Your sheep, I will feed Your sheep
I promise Lord to make You shine
I’ll raise my voice to testify
I am Peter
I am Peter and I have boasted that I would never deny You
And I have fought w/ my brothers claiming to be the greatest of them all
And like Peter who ran away, I have done the same I’m sorry Lord (chorus)
Thinking of Peter in the Garden who later gave his life for You
I’m sure he took w/ him to the grave
The look of pain he saw in Your eyes on that day
And like Peter who loved You until he died
I will do the same, I promise Lord
Here is my vow to You
I’ll love You till’ I die
And Your people I will love and serve w/ all my life
Lord You know that I love You, You know I always have, You know that I love You
And I will feed Your sheep, I will feed Your sheep, I will feed Your sheep
Restore me Lord to make You shine
Work through me one more time
I am Peter

參考經文
馬可福音9:33-37
9:33 他們來到迦百農。耶穌在屋裏問門徒說:「你們在路上議論的是甚麼?」
9:34 門徒不作聲,因為他們在路上彼此爭論誰為大。
9:35 耶穌坐下,叫十二個門徒來,說:「若有人願意作首先的,他必作眾人末後的,作眾人的用人。」
9:36 於是領過一個小孩子來,叫他站在門徒中間,又抱起他來,對他們說:
9:37 「凡為我名接待一個像這小孩子的,就是接待我;凡接待我的,不是接待我,乃是接待那差我來的。」
馬太福音26:36-45
26:36 耶穌同門徒來到一個地方,名叫客西馬尼,就對他們說:「你們坐在這裏,等我到那邊去禱告。」
26:37 於是帶著彼得和西庇太的兩個兒子同去,就憂愁起來,極其難過,
26:38 便對他們說:「我心裏甚是憂傷,幾乎要死;你們在這裏等候,和我一同警醒。」
26:39 他就稍往前走,俯伏在地,禱告說:「我父啊,倘若可行,求你叫這杯離開我。然而,不要照我的意思,只要照你的意思。」
26:40 來到門徒那裏,見他們睡著了,就對彼得說:「怎麼樣?你們不能同我警醒片時嗎?
26:41 總要警醒禱告,免得入了迷惑。你們心靈固然願意,肉體卻軟弱了。」
26:42 第二次又去禱告說:「我父啊,這杯若不能離開我,必要我喝,就願你的意旨成全。」
26:43 又來,見他們睡著了,因為他們的眼睛困倦。
26:44 耶穌又離開他們去了。第三次禱告,說的話還是與先前一樣。
26:45 於是來到門徒那裏,對他們說:「現在你們仍然睡覺安歇吧(吧:或譯嗎?)!時候到了,人子被賣在罪人手裏了。
路加福音22:31-34
22:31 主又說:「西門!西門!撒但想要得著你們,好篩你們像篩麥子一樣;
22:32 但我已經為你祈求,叫你不至於失了信心。你回頭以後,要堅固你的弟兄。」
22:33 彼得說:「主啊,我就是同你下監,同你受死,也是甘心!」
22:34 耶穌說:「彼得,我告訴你,今日雞還沒有叫,你要三次說不認得我。」
約翰福音18:3-11
18:3 猶大領了一隊兵,和祭司長並法利賽人的差役,拿著燈籠、火把、兵器,就來到園裏。
18:4 耶穌知道將要臨到自己的一切事,就出來對他們說:「你們找誰?」
18:5 他們回答說:「找拿撒勒人耶穌。」耶穌說:「我就是!」賣他的猶大也同他們站在那裏。
18:6 耶穌一說「我就是」,他們就退後倒在地上。
18:7 他又問他們說:「你們找誰?」他們說:「找拿撒勒人耶穌。」
18:8 耶穌說:「我已經告訴你們,我就是。你們若找我,就讓這些人去吧。」
18:9 這要應驗耶穌從前的話,說:「你所賜給我的人,我沒有失落一個。」
18:10 西門‧彼得帶著一把刀,就拔出來,將大祭司的僕人砍了一刀,削掉他的右耳;那僕人名叫馬勒古。
18:11 耶穌就對彼得說:「收刀入鞘吧,我父所給我的那杯,我豈可不喝呢?」
馬太福音26:69-74
26:69 彼得在外面院子裏坐著,有一個使女前來,說:「你素來也是同那加利利人耶穌一夥的。」
26:70 彼得在眾人面前卻不承認,說:「我不知道你說的是甚麼!」
26:71 既出去,到了門口,又有一個使女看見他,就對那裏的人說:「這個人也是同拿撒勒人耶穌一夥的。」
26:72 彼得又不承認,並且起誓說:「我不認得那個人。」
26:73 過了不多的時候,旁邊站著的人前來,對彼得說:「你真是他們一黨的,你的口音把你露出來了。」
26:74 彼得就發咒起誓地說:「我不認得那個人。」立時,雞就叫了。
約翰福音21:15-19
21:15 他們吃完了早飯,耶穌對西門‧彼得說:「約翰(在馬太十六章十七節稱約拿)的兒子西門,你愛我比這些更深嗎?」彼得說:「主啊,是的,你知道我愛你。」耶穌對他說:「你餵養我的小羊。」
21:16 耶穌第二次又對他說:「約翰的兒子西門,你愛我嗎?」彼得說:「主啊,是的,你知道我愛你。」耶穌說:「你牧養我的羊。」
21:17 第三次對他說:「約翰的兒子西門,你愛我嗎?」彼得因為耶穌第三次對他說「你愛我嗎」,就憂愁,對耶穌說:「主啊,你是無所不知的;你知道我愛你。」耶穌說:「你餵養我的羊。
21:18 我實實在在地告訴你,你年少的時候,自己束上帶子,隨意往來;但年老的時候,你要伸出手來,別人要把你束上,帶你到不願意去的地方。」
21:19 (耶穌說這話是指著彼得要怎樣死,榮耀 神。)說了這話,就對他說:「你跟從我吧!」
