I had the privilege of writing and playing music for St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Portland, Oregon in the 1970s and ’80s.
Peter’s Song was written in 1982 and is on my album, Love Seeds. As the title implies this song is written from the perspective of Peter as he takes on his mission of spreading the word “on the road”.

Lyrics:
I’m an apostle of Jesus Christ, ashamed to say that I denied him thrice, mmm.
But he chose Simon the fisherman to be The Rock foundation of his plan, mmm.
I have left the life I knew behind.
Now the road is where I spend my time.
I’m walkin’, walkin’ in the footsteps of the Lord.
I’m walkin’, walkin’ in the footsteps of the Lord.
I recall that special day. In a room we prayed.
Then, like a rush of wind, the Spirit filled the room and us within.
And we sang “Glory to God”, “Glory to God”, “Glory to Glory to God”.
Yes we sang “Glory to God”, “Glory to God”, “Glory to Glory to God”.
Now the Lord and I are one. Through my faith in him are miracles done, mmm.
So I go from place to place to spread his word to all the human race, mmm.
I have left the life I knew behind.
Now the road is where I spend my time.
I’m walkin’, walkin’ in the footsteps of the Lord.
I’m walkin’, walkin’ in the footsteps of the Lord.
I can still remember that day. It’s just like today.
The spirit blows, the fire glows, the energy flows and all are filled with love.
And we sing “Glory to God”, “Glory to God”, “Glory to Glory to God”.
Yes we sing “Glory to God”, “Glory to God”, “Glory to Glory to God”.
Mmm.
Seymour Lovejoy
