Jesus Tried by Caiaphas, Peter Denies Knowing Christ

They filed into the dark room one by one

For an untimely trial of God's own Son

His divine role quickly was denounced

As death for blasphemy too was pronounced



Christ spoke of what could not be denied

He for the truth would be crucified

While poor Peter stood not by the lamb

Denying three times the living I AM
