The Necessity for Agape

I love words so naturally I'm drivin to think somewhat semantically
There's one word specifically that's been limited in our English dictionary

About two thousand years ago, just before you and I entered the main show
People were living life and having fun, you know the old saying, there's nothing new under the sun

It's true, just ask any Orthadox Jew
They were loving, laughing, crying, marrying, dying, journeying,
working, eating, breathing, sleeping just like they're still doing

But have we ever been forced to create a word for the truth of such an amazing verb
They were and they did, but it's been forgotten over time and hid

See in our overly simplistic society
We've even limited our languages ability for piety

Let me set the scene it's about 33 AD
There's a risen saviour and His disciples sitting by the sea

Fortunately there is a fire and plenty of fish to eat
As Peters lesson teaches us semantic necessity

The Risen one asks Peter, Jonahs son
Do you Agape me more than these

Peters answer stands, Yes Lord, you know that I Phileo you more than these
Feed my lambs!

The Saviour says repeatedly, Peter do you Agape me
Peters answer, not quite as steep, Yes Lord you know that I Phileo you,
Tend my Sheep!

The third time He asks understandingly, Peter do you Phileo me
Looking at his Saviours feet, Peter is forced to repeat
You know all things, you know that I Phileo you
Tend my Sheep! Tend my Sheep, Peter! Tend my Sheep!

Peter was just a man, scared, hurt, tired, and broken
Then Jesus came and held his hand, helped him stand

But it's not until Pentecost, when there lives are truley lost,
That they could ever understand exactly what Agape cost
