Simon, Son of John    
(Susan W. Bailey)

Simon, Son of John
based on John 21:15-17

Refrain One:
Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?
Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?
Yes, Lord, you know how much I love You
Simon, son of John, feed my sheep.

Refrain Two:
Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?
Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?
Yes, Lord, oh don’t You know how much I do?
Simon, son of John, feed my sheep.

Verse One:
Why does He ask?
Doesn’t He know my heart?
How I have yearned for Him
From the very start
Oh Lord, am I not worthy to follow You?

Verse Two:
Doesn’t He know
How He has pierced my heart
I, who have loved Him so
From the very start
Oh Lord, am I not worthy to follow You?
Lord, am I not worthy to follow You?

(interlude)

Verse Three:
How well He knew
Right from the very start
That I’d deny Him thrice
And would break His heart
Oh Lord, I am not worthy to follow You

Refrain Three:
Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?
Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?
Yes, Lord, but I’m a weak and broken man
Then Simon, son of John, you can feed my sheep.
Simon, son of John, feed my sheep.

About this song
I wrote this song for a church service but found myself learning a lot about Peter, and humility, while writing it.
