Peter Walking on the Water

Tune: Yankee Doodle

Jesus walked upon the sea,

One dark and windy night.

Peter saw the Lord and said,

Oh, let me walk to You.

Then Peter walked upon the sea,

His eyes on Jesus fixed.

But when he looked away from him,

His legs began to slip.

Then Jesus took poor Peter’s hand,

And said, “Your faith is small.

If you would put your trust in Me,

I’d never let you fall.”

Peter’s Mother-in-Law

Tune: Yankee Doodle

When Jesus went to Peter’s house,

His wife’s mom had a fever,

She lay in bed, she felt so bad,

“Please help her,” then asked Peter.

Jesus took the woman’s hand,

He healed her right away.

She jumped right up, she felt so good,

She thanked the Lord that day!

Peter, James, & John in a Sailboat (Catch of Many Fish Version)

Tune: 10 Little Indians

Peter, James, and John in a sailboat,

Peter, James, and John in a sailboat,

Peter, James, and John in a sailboat,

Out on the rolling sea.

Fished all night, caught no fishes,

Fished all night, caught no fishes,

Fished all night, caught no fishes,

Out on the rolling sea.

Along came Jesus walking on the seashore,

Along came Jesus walking on the seashore,

Along came Jesus walking on the seashore,

Out by the rolling sea.

(He said,) “Cast your nets on the other side,”

“Cast your nets on the other side,”

“Cast your nets on the other side,”

Out on the rolling sea.

Then their nets were full of fishes,

Then their nets were full of fishes,

Then their nets were full of fishes,

Out on the rolling sea.

Jesus said, “I’ll make you fishers,

Fishers of men instead of fishes.

Jesus said, “I’ll make you fishers,

If you will follow me.”

Peter, James, & John in a Sailboat (Jesus walks on the Water Version)

Tune: 10 Little Indians

Peter, James, and John in a sailboat,

Peter, James, and John in a sailboat,

Peter, James, and John in a sailboat,

Out on the deep, blue sea.

The wind was blowing, the waves were crashing,

The wind was blowing, the waves were crashing,

The wind was blowing, the waves were crashing,

Out on the deep, blue sea.

Along came Jesus walking on the water,

Along came Jesus walking on the water,

Along came Jesus walking on the water,

Out on the deep, blue sea.

The wind stopped blowing, the waves stopped crashing,

The wind stopped blowing, the waves stopped crashing,

Oh, how the boat stopped tossing and turning,

Out on the deep, blue sea.

Kids Bible Songs about Peter pin

Peter and John Went to Pray

Tune: traditional

Peter and John went to pray,

They met a lame man on the way.

He asked for alms and he held out his palms,

And this is what Peter did say,

“Silver and gold have I none,

But that which I have I give you.

In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,

Rise up and walk!”

He went walking – and leaping,

And praising God.

Walking – and leaping – and praising God.

“In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,

Rise up and walk!”

Peter and John Went to the Gate

Tune: Mulberry Bush

Peter and John went to the gate

to the gate, to the gate

Peter and John went to the gate

in the afternoon.

They saw a man who couldn’t walk,

couldn’t walk, couldn’t walk,

They saw a man who couldn’t walk,

By the Beautiful Gate.

They told him to get up and walk,

get up and walk, get up and walk,

They told him to get up and walk,

For Jesus would make him well.

He got well and jumped for joy,

jumped for joy, jumped for joy,

He got well and jumped for joy,

He thanked God for his healing.

In the Name of Jesus (Acts 5)

Tune: Buffalo Gals

We strictly charge you,

Do not teach! Do not teach!

Do not teach!

We strictly charge you,

Do not teach –  in the name of Jesus!

We must obey God

rather than man! rather than man!

rather than man!

We must obey God

rather than man!

We’ll keep on teaching about Jesus!

Go Preach, Peter

Tune: O Susanna

Peter up on the roof did go

He went there for to pray

He fell asleep and had a dream

God showed to him the way.

In the dream a sheet came down

It was full of unclean beasts

And then there came a voice to say

“Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”

Peter said, “Oh not so, Lord!

I don’t want to go.

Gentiles are unclean, my Lord.

My answer must be no.”

“The Hebrews are so special, Lord,

We are your chosen race.

We don’t need Cornelius, Lord,

We don’t need a Gentile face.”

Caesarea where Cornelius lived,

Is where Peter went that day,

Cornelius and his house believed,

On the Lord the only way.

Immediately they were all baptized,

For the Lord they chose to obey.

Cornelius became the first Gentile

Christian on that day.

Chorus:

Go Preach, Peter.

Cornelius needs you so.

He needs you to go to him,

The Gospel he must know.

Peter Rescued from Jail

Tune: Yankee Doodle

Peter was in jail at night

Soldiers all around him,

Bound in chains, awaiting death,

An angel came and got him.

“Get up quickly! Dress yourself!

Then put on your sandals.

Follow me and watch us leave!”

God rescued him from evil.

Rhoda & Peter

Tune: Who Did Swallow Jonah?

Rhoda, Rhoda, Rhoda, Rhoda,

Rhoda, who is at the door?

Peter, Peter, I think it’s Peter.

Peter’s the one at the door!

You’re crazy, you’re crazy,

you’re crazy, you’re crazy,

Peter’s locked up in the prison!

Wait!  It really is him!

Wait! It really is him!

Wait! It really is Peter now!

Peter & Paul: The Church Grows

Tune: The Farmer in the Dell

Words by Bobbi Biddle

The church just grew and grew,

When Peter taught God’s love,

The people learned the Word of God,

And worshiped God above.

When Peter was in jail,

The church prayed day and night.

When Rhoda heard him knock outside,

She learned he was all right.

Disciples preached God’s love,

And served the people, too,

“We need some help!” they told the church,

Then seven men helped too.

O Barnabas and Paul,

They traveled far and near,

They told the people of God’s love,

And of His Son so dear.
