Twelve Men

Jesus walked along the shore one day
heavy burdens love for others, upon him lay
he was looking for a friend he was looking for twelve men
who would gladly follow all the way

Twelve men chosen men
Jesus was looking for twelve men.

First he called for Andrew by the shore
told his brother Simon Peter, he had a chore
and of one he was so fond you’ll recall his name was John,
still he called for Judas and eight more

Simon, James the elder , Jude , Matthew,
Thomas ,Phillip, James the lesser, Bartholomew,
These twelve men the world did hate ,
striving to eliminate, this is how they finally met there fate,

Twelve men chosen men
Eleven of them true but on a devil.

Judas sold the son of God for silver
Andrew died upon the cross we hear
Thomas died in India , with a spear
James the less was sawed in two, arrow throw the body of Jude
Phillip died by hanging without fear
filled alive with knives, Bartholomew
Martyred Simon, James the elder, writer, Matthew,
Simon Peter in Rome found, crucified there upside down
only John did live his whole life through.

Twelve men, chosen men .
Eleven of the true but one a devil

Judas hung himself and lost his silver.
