hold a grudge for years;
ask him to grovel and plead in the sand;
order him to work hard for his forgiveness.
When Peter met Jesus on that beach,
after he had denied knowing him three times,
Jesus asked him three times:

'Come, be my disciple,' he said, 'follow me.'
When we meet Jesus each morning,
after another day of ups and downs,

hold a grudge for years;
ask us to grovel and plead in the sand;
order us to work hard for our forgiveness...
