Twelve disciples

Verse 1

Jesus met some fishermen, none o them called Stephen
There was Simon, that’s Peter, Andrew, James an’ John
The ones that Ee believed in
Ee said come now an’ follow me, on ma fishing journey
And then Ee called eight t’other lads,
None o’ them called Ernie
No none o’ them called Ernie

Chorus 1

These were the twelve
disciples, first dozen chosen few
Called to be like
Jesus, completely through an’ through
And we can be
disciples, if we follow too
Filled with the ‘Oly Spirit there’ll be nowt that we can’t do

Verse 2

Matthew, he was in the team, an ‘ated tax collector
Then Thaddeus, Philip, Thomas too, him from the doubtin’
sector.
That only left Bartholemew, zealot Simon, James the second
An’ last Judas Iscariot for whom a bad fate beckoned
For whom a bad fate beckoned

Chorus 2

These were the twelve disciples, first dozen chosen few
Called to be like Jesus, completely through an’ through
And we can be disciples, if we follow too
Filled with the ‘Oly Spirit there’ll be nowt that we can’t do

(repeat several times speeding up)
So let’s recap, they
were
Peter, Andrew, James
an’ James, John, Bart, Matt an’ Simon
Thaddeus, Phil, Thomas too an’ Judas who betrayed them

Verse 3

These were the twelve disciples, first dozen chosen few
Called to be like Jesus, completely through an’ through
And we can be disciples, if we follow too
Filled with the ‘Oly Spirit there’ll be nowt that we can’t do
