Good Old Peter Lyrics

Well, good old Peter

Was a simple man

He lived a simple life

Til he gave up everything he had

To follow the living Christ

But then there came that fateful day

Jesus said "Step out on the waves

And everything will be alright."

But Peter didn't sign up for this

He started flopping like a fish

But Jesus was still in sight

And he said

"Peter, take my hand

We'll fix that little faith of yours

In this you can be sure

And I will call you friend

You'll know the Master's work

And on this Rock I'll build my church

And I choose you

Hoo-oo-oo-ooh

Well, I choose you

Hoo-oo-oo-ooh

Well, I choose you

Well, good old Peter

Was a fisherman who got up

And left his boat

Jesus was making him a fisher of men

And he promised

he'd follow the Lord

But then there came that fateful day

They came to take Jesus away

Just like He said would come to pass

But Peter didn't sign up for this

They tried to say "You're one of His"

And Peter turned his back

Until the Lord came back

And he said

"Peter, take my hand

We'll fix that little faith of yours

In this you can be sure

And I will call you friend

You'll know the Master's work

And on this Rock I'll build my church

And I choose you

Hoo-oo-oo-ooh

Well, I choose you

Hoo-oo-oo-ooh

Well, I choose you

Good old Peter

was just like one of us

He had failures, fears, and doubts

But Jesus chooses the least of these

to rule

While the world may rule us out

And he says

"Believer, take my hand

We'll fix that little faith of yours

In this you can be sure

And I will call you friend

You'll know the Master's work

And on this Rock I'll build my church

And I choose you

Hoo-oo-oo-ooh

Well, I choose you

Hoo-oo-oo-ooh

Well, I choose you

Hoo-oo-oo-ooh

I may have found you in the dirt

But in Me you'll find your worth

And I choose you

Hoo-oo-oo-ooh

Well, I choose you

Hoo-oo-oo-ooh

Well, I choose you
