Song of  Simon

I am the great apostle
"You are a rock"  He said
Yet when they dragged the Lord away
I hid my face and fled
I trailed Him at a distance
Up to the campfire's glow
Three times I disowned Him
Then I heard that rooster crow

Now every time I hear that sound
My eyes well up with tears
It's a cold and clear reminder
That has echoed through the years
How could He have forgiven me?
Perhaps I'll never know
But I marvel at His love for me
Each time a rooster crows

Now look into your mirror
And tell me what you see
Could it be the face reflected there
Looks an awful lot like me?
Don't turn your back on Jesus
You'll reap the seeds you sow
Oh, listen with your heart now
Can't you hear that rooster crow?

'Cause every time I hear that sound
My eyes well up with tears
It's a cold and clear reminder
That has echoed through the years
How could He have forgiven me?
Perhaps I'll never know
But I marvel at His love for me
Each time a rooster crows
