First was Andrew who prayed a prayer for life,
Second was Thomas who doubted and preferred his wife;
Third was Judas who betrayed the master for a price,
Who was replaced by Mathias who drew the lot from twice.
Â
Fourth was James the less who was a brother of Christ,
Fifth was John who wrote five books and the word so nice;
Sixth was Simon the Zealot who rhymed and picked the time,
These were the first six of the twelve disciples in my rhyme.
Â
The seventh disciple was Phillip who taught the Eunuch the word,
To understand the meaning so that he could preach and be heard;
Eighth was Nathaniel known as Bartholomew for under the tree,
Ninth was James the Great who humbled at the Lord to eat.
Â
Tenth was Thaddeus or Jude who spoke boldly of God,
Eleventh was Matthew a tax collector and sinner as odd;
Twelfth was Simon Peter who dented the Lord Three times,
A colourful character who the lord reinstated to feed my rhymes,
Â
Now we have Jesus himself the lord and master of our world,
Who beat death and cheated life to be king and makes things worth;
He is the one we follow and who all the twelve disciples followed to,
That I like he and me like you can come to the cross to be true.
Â
Well there is still one person who I can’t forget or leave out,
That is God the Father the mighty creator of the universe and earth;
And he is the omnipotent all powerful one that Christ leads us to,
That the twelve disciples went out to serve to preach for the lord’s return.
Â
Signed,
Â
Good old Moses
