Peter the Rock
Peter the Rock on which you built your Church
Peter our Foundation
Christ our own Salvation
Do you know me now?
Don't deny me now!
Peter the Rock
Peter the Rock
Peter the Rock on which you built your Church

At Transfiguration
Moses and Elijah met and talked with me
Don't you know me now?

For all those times when we denied your name
For all those times that now fill us with shame
Give us Lord the mercy of your Name

Peter friend, James and John
Stay with me 'til this hour is gone
You walked on water and the sea obeyed you
Do not be afraid!
Do not be afraid!

Peter the Rock
Peter the Rock on which you built your Church
Peter our Foundation
Christ our own Salvation
Do you know me now?
Don't deny me now!
Peter the Rock
Peter the Rock
Peter the Rock on which you built your Church

Three times you denied me
While the Romans tried me
Don't you know me now?
Don't deny me now!

For you are Peter, Fisherman of God
The Gates of Hell cannot withstand your Church
Take these keys and bind thyself to me
For what you bind shall be bound here below
For what you loose shall be loosed up in Heaven

Simon Peter, be my earthly Rock
Peter, weak fisherman
Peter who denied me three times
Peter friend, Peter Rock
Peter whom I build my church upon

Words & music by Gerry McCartney
