Into the eyes of Christ

Trying to warm by the fire
close but so far away
denying my master’s friendship
cursing his very name

Hearing the false charges
despair gripping the night
fear for what might happen
denying I know the Lord

The cock crowed as he had said
the prophecy fulfilled
I have thrice denied my master
how could I be healed

He looked at me in that moment
his eyes crying in pain
I who longed to be with him
had denied my Savior’s name
