I took this picture when I visited Israel in 2017. On the southeastern slope of Mt Zion is the traditional location for the house of Caiaphas. This statue illustrates Peter's denial at the questioning of a young servant girl. At the top of the pole is the rooster that crowed. Inscribed on the statue is “Non novi illum” which is Latin for: “I do not know Him.” (Luke 22:57)
Jesus is worthy for us to lose all things
All hopes and dreams and diamond rings
All joys this world to your life brings
For all true pleasure from Him springs
He bids us fly and gives us wings
And when the persecution stings
His Bride – to Him – She tighter clings
And of His grace forever sings
For He's the mighty King of kings!
That's my King! Do you know Him?!
Peter is a trusted friend
Which makes denial worse offend
Peter's heart to pride does tend
"I'll stay with You until the end!"
But on his words Christ can't depend
He cursed and swore and played pretend
Not once or twice but three times bend
And Jesus' name he won't commend
Denying Christ to hell will send
Before His Father He'll suspend
All knowledge of this wicked friend
But wait – there's mercy to transcend
All failures that our God offend
Because the Christ did condescend
And never once did He offend
But lived God's will as He'd intend
At the cross His wrath expend
And to the grave He'd soon descend
Then rise alive to all death end
On Him alone we must depend
His love we cannot comprehend!
That's my King!
Judas turned away and never came back
But Peter took a different track
Though his faith was slack
And he failed when the devil attacked
Jesus prayed for all he lacked
Christ is all power packed
The devil He smacked, cracked, and destroyed in fact
And showed mercy to poor Peter who lacked
So after his fall he'll never be sacked
But have a strong faith intact
He died for His King – his final act
This King does ravish and attract
And has an eternal impact
He'll supply all you ever lacked
And when you fail He'll never turn back
But turn you back on the right track and that's a fact!
That's my King! I wonder if you know Him today?!
Jesus the truth would never deny
But every evil He'll defy
Unlike Peter He cannot lie
He's the faithful God on high
He created the sky
From greatest wrath He did not fly
But took the cross and there He'd die
And end His life with bitter cry
My God forsaken, tell me why?!
But then He'd rise to life apply
So death forever say goodbye
For He's the King Who rules the sky
And is beheld by every eye
He's purest beauty – our supply
So come and trust Him – don't deny
And to His every Word comply!

Christ Jesus Mercy-Heart Denied
The Greatest Sin You’ve Ever Eyed
By Jesus’ Closest Friend Beside
With Swearing, Cursing, Oaths He Lied
“I Do Not Know The Man!” He Cried
Three Times The Truth In Fear He’d Hide
Wept Bitterly And Ran Outside
Yet Even For This Sin Christ Died
And Bore God’s Wrath For All His Bride
Then Rose Alive And Death Defied
So Though Christ’s Warning Sure Applied
If You Deny Me Before Men Worldwide
I’ll Deny You Before My Father’s Side
Christ’s Mercy-Heart Shall Turn The Tide
He Welcomes Peter, Love Spread Wide
Restores Him To His Spotless Bride
Transforms Him, Everywhere He Cried
The Gospel News, For Christ He Died
For You Great Mercy He’ll Provide
So Trust In Christ, In Him Abide
By Him You'll Never Be Denied!
That's my King! That's my King!
