Singing the New Testament ‎#113

113. Simon, Simon, Do You Love Me?

1 Simon, Simon do you love me?
If you do, then feed my sheep.
Simon, Simon do you love me?
If you do, then feed my lambs.
Show me that my love has moved you.
Imitate how I have loved you.
Simon, Simon do you love me?
If you do, then feed my flock.

2 Simon, Simon do you love me?
If you do, then follow me.
Simon, Simon do you love me?
If you do, then follow me.
Follow where your faith will take you,
knowing I will not forsake you.
Simon, Simon do you love me?
If you do, then follow me.

3 Simon, Simon do you love me?
If you do, then feed my sheep.
Simon, Simon do you love me?
If you do, then feed my lambs.
Ponder why I called and trained you,
named you Rocklike, and ordained you,
do you love me, truly love me?
If you do, then feed my flock.
