This song is a retelling of the story of Jesus, but from the apostle Peter’s perspective. He started as a fisherman, he was called “the rock” (Peter = petra = “rock”), he walked on the water, he became prideful, and he betrayed Jesus.
The song presents Peter’s character arc from this simple fisherm...
[Intro: Steve Cobucci]
As I drift on the water, a voice calling to me had said
"Sail in to the harbor, cast down your nets and follow Me"
First of all the chosen, I saw the raising of the dead
It must be my devotion, for I stood alone upon that sea
[Verse 1: Steve Cobucci]
So I walked on the tempest, I saw the waves below my feet
It's clear I was the bravest, to meet the stranger on the deep
I am the rock on which to build this land
Got the keys to the kingdom, I'm at His right hand
I was the first among the chosen, the boldest in devotion
Walking out upon the ocean, what else could I need?
I'm well-versed in forgiveness, as many as seven times repeat
In service was I fearless; attack my king, my blade you'd reap
[Refrain: Steve Cobucci]
What else could I need?
What else could I need?
[Verse 2: Steve Cobucci w/ Nick Detty]
Haunting my reflection, a bitter thought comes to my mind
I made known my objection, about how You had come to die
You said my thoughts were of the devil's kind
I was opposed to Your kingdom, and I should get behind
But You were talking like You're cursed, already laying in Your deathbed
Maybe somehow You were mislead, may it never be!
You said I would fall away, before the rooster's crow would end
To my shame did I betray, deny You as my closest friend
I'm singing, heart is hardened
I'm sleeping in the garden
I'm swinging swords I'm guarding my kindgom and my stardom
[Bridge: Steve Cobucci & Nick Detty]
Am I different than Judas?
For I betrayed the kindest friend
I'm all out of excuses
With nothing to make my amends
O Love! O Love! O Love!
You bottomless abyss!
O Love! O Love! O Love!
You bottomless abyss!
How tender You had spoken
Though I betrayed the kindest friend
Faithful in devotion
Such love I cannot comprehend
[Outro: Nick Detty]
Oh when You found me I was broken
From the words that I had spoken
But You were faithful in devotion
You remembered me!
You remembered me!
