Jesus Here’s a fire ignited Here’s a basket of bread Bring me some of those fishes Sit down for a big spread. Eat your fill and Tell me your all your tales They’re incredible! Peter We were out on the water Having nary a bite Almost ready to give up When you came into sight We believed and Rolled up our sleeves And the net filled! And now we’re once more Eating with the Lord! The fire is warming us Our faith once more restored! We just couldn’t be silent When we saw it was you None of us needed To ask “Who are you?” You are the Lord and Life is our reward No longer skeptical

Commentary
Based on John 21:9-14. Music based on "Clarinet Player"
“When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread. Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.” So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.
