Lyrics:
Sing to the tune of “Jesus Loves Me”
Verse 1
Jesus called them one by one
Peter, Andrew, James and John
Next came Philip, Thomas too
Matthew and Bartholomew
Chorus:
Yes, Jesus called them
Yes, Jesus called them
Yes, Jesus called them
And they all followed him
Verse 2
James the one they called the less
Simon, also Thaddaeus
The twelfth apostle Judas made
Jesus was by him betrayed
Repeat Chorus
Additional 3rd Verse
Matthias then took Judas’ place,
To preach to men of every race,
Paul three preaching trips did make,
And went to Rome for Jesus’ sake.
