PETER/JOHN

PETER/JOHN

WHEN THEY FIRST HEARD THE WORD THE LORD WAS RISEN
THEY'D RUN THROUGH THE TOWN TO THE TOMB
PETER AND JOHN IN A WILD BURST OF FEELING
WENT RUNNING THROUGH THE TOWN
THEY BOTH HAD ENTHUSIASM AND RAN EQUALLY WELL
BUT ONE HAD YOUTH AND DREW AHEAD
UNTIL HE REACHED THE GARDEN
 THERE JOHN WAITED
FOR PETER TO CATCH UP
I WONDER THOUGH IF JOHN WOULD HAVE WAITED
IF WHEN HE LOOKED BACK
HE SAW PETER GIVING UP
SITTING BY THE ROAD
GIVING UP
I DO NOT THINK HE WOULD HAVE WAITED THEN
