Lyrics
Do You Love Me?
We have a Shepherd and a High Priest watching over us,
And He’s guiding and protecting that not one would be lost.
3 times Peter denied his Lord, overwhelmed by fear,
Falling into sadness, weeping bitter tears.
With his own life in peril, Peter hid behind a lie,
Then he watched his master sacrificed, he saw Jesus die.
When he saw his Savior raised up on that blessed third day morn
He knew that his betrayal deserved Messiah’s scorn.
Peter looked in Jesus’ eyes, and saw his saving grace,
Receiving God’s redeeming love, he heard his master say,
Do you love me, love me, love me? Then place no gods above me.
Are you living in my kingdom, are you living in my truth?
Child do you love me? Then place no thing above me.
Feed my sheep, tend my lambs, and I will dwell with you.
Peter saw the miracles, and heard his teacher pray,
He heard the loving voice of God in Jesus every day.
But with Jesus taken captive Peter fell and lost his way,
His faith was greatly tested, and he lost his grip on grace.
Those times when I have fallen into fear or guilt or shame
Times when I’ve denied my God, even hidden from his name.
That’s when I can turn to him and trust his healing grace,
Be still in His redeeming love and hear my master say,
Do you love me, love me, love me? Then place no gods above me.
Are you living in my kingdom, are you living in my truth?
Child do you love me? Then place no thing above me.
Feed my sheep, tend my lambs, and I will dwell with you.
We have a Shepherd and a High Priest watching over us,
And He’s guiding and protecting that not one would be lost.
