"And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the Word of the Lord, how He had said unto Him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny Me thrice. And Peter went out, and wept bitterly" (Luke 22:61,62).
Peter remembered the Word of the Lord,
And as he beheld the Lord's look,
Conviction then came like a two-edged sword,
Reproving the way that he took.
Shouldn't we also remember His Word
And ponder the look on His face?
Haven't we wandered from what we have heard
And felt Peter's bitter disgrace?
Now surely this portion of Scripture is written
To shine on the way that we are,
That likewise our hearts may be broken and smitten
When we too have followed afar.
Lord, we recall in the words of Your Book
Your glance then that broke Peter's heart.
Teach us to also consider Your look
And thereby from evil depart.
