WITNESSES TO THE RISEN CHRIST


Liturgy by Rev’d Norman Wallwork

Verse and Artwork by 

Rev’d Paul Collings


Jesus appears to Simon Peter – The one who needed to be forgiven

Risen Lord, though we have denied you, you know that we love you. 
Show us how to feed the needy ones of your flock.

Alleluia. Christ is risen
He is risen indeed. Alleluia

Do you love me, more than these?
Do you love me, more than these?
Will you love me, when your heart is low,
When you do not know what’s ahead?
Will you love me, when your life seems slow
Though the future now you may dread?

Lord, you must know that I love you,
Yes, you must know I love you.
Though I left your side and your love denied
Though I said that I never knew!
Knew that you alone could change my poor heart
By the love of God found in you.

Feed my sheep friend with my bread,
Feed my lambs friend, in my stead.
Through my love in you, share my word that’s true
For this word I give now to you.
Through my love in you, share my word that’s true
Share this Bread of Life, I give you.

These words come from a musical setting I wrote for the Charisma Youth Choir of St Thomas Methodist Church in 1991, entitled “Bread”. It depicts Jesus meeting Peter after the Resurrection.
