Uhh!
Embarrassing moments - made a name for me
Embarrassing moments - but my nickname's "Pete"
They brought a gang to surround my Lord
I don't got a hero's faith no more
I've got more important things to do
Then see my life goin' down the tubes
At that moment - I fled straight away-hay
Embarrassing moments - affectin' what I say-hey-hey-hey-ey-ey
Embarrassing moments - get the best of me
Embarrassing moments - come in sets of three
Don't want 'em talkin' about my Lord
Don't want my ego shattered no more
I hope Christ can sympathize -- until someone else denies
Now no one had better wave
Embarrassing moments -- guess I'm not so brave hey-hey
LEAD
Embarrassing moments - I'd best get away
Embarrassing moments - to live another day
Don't wanna hang here around my Lord
Don't wanna squeal or face the sword
I know they want more of His sheep
I know we won't get off free
C'mon guys, I'm petrified
Cock crows somewhere else tonight
Now someone -- had better pray for me
Embarrassing moments - are my legacy
Though -- on a better day -- I would never cave
Now, no, no, no
I'm not free at the moment - I'm not me at the moment
I tried - but I lied
And I cried - now I hide
Don't go look for me ... I won't look for you
'Cause I looked Truth right in the eye
He told me what I'd go and do
You know that I believe
He knew it long ago
He knew that I would leave
He knew I'd run and go from Him
I'm not the leader He wanted
Looks like - I'm scared of the moment
Looks like - a vanishin' trick
Matthew 26:75
Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: "Before the rooster crows, you
will disown me three times."(CC) And he went outside and wept bitterly.
