Paper 139 – The Twelve Apostles 🎶 Song: Companions of the Master (Introduction) Twelve were called by Galilee’s tide, Different hearts, yet side by side. Each unique, with love to give, In Jesus’ light they chose to live. (Verse 1 – Andrew, the First Chosen) Calm and steady, peace his way, Organizer of the band each day. He admired the Master’s gentle tone, Serenity that made hearts one. (Verse 2 – Simon Peter) Impulsive fire, a voice so loud, Courage burning, leading the crowd. He admired the patience, strong and true, Jesus’ faith that carried through. (Verse 3 – James Zebedee) Practical mind, with leader’s hand, Faithful heart to understand. He admired the Master’s noble stand, Courage shining across the land. (Verse 4 – John Zebedee) Young and tender, spirit bright, Apostle of love, in heaven’s light. He admired the Master’s gentle care, Love eternal, everywhere. (Verse 5 – Philip the Curious) Questions rising, simple soul, Seeking truth to make him whole. He admired the patience, calm and kind, Answers clear for searching mind. (Verse 6 – Honest Nathaniel) No deceit, a heart sincere, Truth and wisdom drawing near. He admired the Master’s honest face, Sincerity and boundless grace. (Verse 7 – Matthew Levi) Taxman turned to faith anew, Practical hands, finances true. He admired the Master’s open door, Acceptance wide forevermore. (Verse 8 – Thomas Didymus) Doubting heart, yet reasoned faith, Seeking proof in every place. He admired the Master’s honest word, Certainty in truth he heard. (Verse 9 – James and Judas Alpheus) Brothers simple, fishermen’s hands, Faithful hearts in humble lands. They admired the Master’s friendly way, Companionship that lit their day. (Verse 10 – Simon the Zealot) Fervent fire, zeal once strong, Turned to love, where hearts belong. He admired the Master’s power to change, Transforming fervor into range. (Verse 11 – Judas Iscariot) Ambitious mind, yet heart astray, The only Judean in the way. He admired the Master’s noble might, But failed to walk within the light. (Bridge – The Twelve Together) Different souls, yet bound as one, In Jesus’ love the work begun. Each admired a trait divine, Together formed the sacred line. (Chorus) Companions of the Master’s call, Twelve apostles, hearts enthralled. Each unique, yet all the same, Drawn to Jesus, love’s pure flame.
