| Jesus had many disciples to help him spread the word
|
| But most of them left him, because they just didn’t have it
|
| And the only way to get it is for God to give it to you
|
| So he was left with twelve, eleven good man and one devil
|
| But the ministry had begun, things were starting to build
|
| Jesus and the pray for passes twelve
|
| Simon Peter, Andrew, James and Phillip, Thomas, Matthew
|
| Bartholomew and Simon, Judas, Judas, James and John
|
| Andrew go and tell your brother Peter to come a runnin'
|
| Tell him the one he’s waitin' for is waitin' for him
|
| The two He calls the Son’s of Thunder quit their jobs this mornin'
|
| And for eternal revenue Matthew is cashin' in
|
| Phillip tell Bartholomew there’s somethin' good from Nazareth
|
| They’ve never met but Jesus seems to know him through and through
|
| And Thomas, he’ll go with you don’t you doubt it for a minute
|
| James the less and Judas and the zealot Simon too
|
| Simon Peter, Andrew, James, Phillip, Thomas, Matthew
|
| Bartholomew, Simon, Judas, Judas, James, John
|
| Travelin' round from town to town preachin' gets expensive
|
| So they took along some women who took along some wealth
|
| And the twelfth one was chosen to be their trusted treasure
|
| Would you believe Judas Iscariot himself
|
| Next Sunday mornin' when your mind starts to wander
|
| And that Pulpit prayer gets long and you start thinkin' 'bout yourself
|
| Ask in heart if you would part with family, friends and money
|
| And leave it all for Jesus like the brave Apostles twelve
|
| Peter, Andrew, James and Phillip, Thomas, Simon, Matthew
|
| Bartholomew and Judas, Judas, James and John and you |
