Fear To Courage, What Changed

On the day Jesus was crucified Peter his disciple three times knowing him denied All the disciples deserted him, fled in fear Jesus was dead this was clear Jesus had warned them he would be killed Arise on the third day, the new covenant fulfilled The disciples hiding scared they would die Questioning their belief in Jesus was all a lie What would change the disciples to become brave Willing to become martyrs preaching Jesus will save To all parts of the world spreading Christian love Jesus died for everyone's sins was God's message from above Could it be they really saw the risen Christ They saw, touched the holes in his side, his life sacrificed Jesus told them he must go, God's Holy Spirit would stay To give them courage to teach Jesus was the way Against the Roman Soldiers the disciples could have fought Hate and revenge is not what Jesus taught The disciples became brave because they knew Jesus was true He rose from the dead, died for all our sins in our place, me and you
