He had a dozen followers
And set their hearts on fire
But remember, of the 12, my friends
One was a denier
They listened to His wisdom
As the greatest truth purveyor
But one among the listeners
Became his friend’s betrayer
Ten among their number
Were made of stuff much stouter
But one of the remaining
Declared himself a doubter
Consider in these trying days
As we look for direction
Even those who knew Him best
Fell far short of perfection
So, if your faith is challenged
And your confidence diminished
Remember what He started
When He uttered, “It is finished.”
Remember the inheritance
He promised to the meek
Resurrect your courage
And be there with Him this week
