Rob Gardner - Peter's Denial Lyrics
NARRATION (Man)And they led Jesus away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes andThe elders were assembled.Now all of the council sought false witnesses against Jesus, to put him toDeath. And so they came:FALSE WITNESSThis fellow here, This blasphemer,I heard Him say-Yes, I heard it myself-That He claims He is able to tear down the temple of GodAnd build it again in three days! Three days!Yes, I heard it myself! And Thou sayest nothing?NARRATION (Man)But Jesus held his peace.FALSE WITNESSBecause it's the truth.NARRATION (Woman)Now Peter had followed Jesus afar off and sat without in the palace: and aDamsel came unto him.DAMSELI know thy face...Thour wast with Jesus of Galilee!PETERI know... I know not... I know not what thou sayest!NARRATION (Man)And the high priest said unto Jesus, Answerest thou nothing? I adjure theeBy the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son ofGod.Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you,Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power,And coming in the clouds of heaven.FALSE WITNESSHe hath spoken blasphemy! Behold, now ye have heard for yourselves HisBlasphemy!NARRATION (Man)Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him withThe palms of their hands, Saying, Prophecy unto us, thou Christ, Who is heThat smote thee?And Caiaphas asked of the council, What think ye? They answered and said,He is guilty of death.NARRATION (Woman)And Peter made his way out into the porch. There, another maid recognizedHim.MAIDThis fellow here:This fellow here was with Jesus of Nazareth.I've seen him there alsoPETERI swear to you: No, I do not know the man!DAMSELBut surely thou also art one of them...MAIDSurely thou followed with Jesus...DAMSELThy speech is of GalileeMAIDI've seen you there also...DAMSELYes, thou wast with Jesus of Galilee!MAIDThou was with Jesus of NazarethDAMSELThou wast with Jesus of Galilee!MAIDThou wast with Jesus of Nazareth!DAMSELThou wast with Jesus of Galilee!MAIDThou was with Jesus of...PETERI know not the man!NARRATION (Woman)And immediately the ***** crew.
