about

STORY:
Returning to Jerusalem, and still accompanied
by his close companion, Ananias, Paul continues
witnessing to unbelievers. Paul then directly
confronts the other Apostles – including
Peter, James and John – who are
in danger of drifting from the
truth of the Gospel.

"These are the twelve he appointed…James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name… “sons of thunder”) … God, who was at work in Peter as an apostle … was also at work in me as an apostle… James, Peter and John… gave me … the right hand of fellowship… when Peter came … I opposed him to his face..."
– from Mark 3:16-17 & Galatians 2:8-9,11 (NIV)

lyrics

LYRICS:
(Ananias):
Somethin’ in the skies
Them clouds is clearin’
Weather’s gonna change
There’s gonna be a
Change in pressure
Sit down – listen
Everybody
Everywhere

(Paul – to the Unbelievers):
I myself – it’s true
Am the worst of sinners
Through and through – a Murderer!
Yet I come to you – saved by
The Grace of God
With a Gospel new

A brand new Word
Sent for Me and you
A whole new Message – one so true
His words, brothers
Long overdue

He’s come to change us into one
He sent His Only Son – and
His Spirit, too

He came
To reconcile us brothers
Everyone everywhere
Gentile and Jew

(Paul – to the Apostles):
So shame on you James & John – Peter, too
We all see what you’re tryin’ to do
Our Mission now – to call anew
Our brothers to a truth so true
Whether one by one or
Two by two

Don’t give me no argument
No bad report – disharmony in our ranks
Don’t hide His Message
Shame on you

Give Him “Thanks!”

Proclaim His Gospel
Report the news – ‘cause if we
Apostles don’t stand together
In Love and Peace
Then who?

Is it any wonder
You’re called the “Sons of Thunder”
You’ll tear us all
Asunder – you

"Sons of Thunder"

And I know you, Peter
You’re such a true believer
Nothing could be sweeter – come on
And join us, Peter!

No, it’s
No wonder
You’re called the "Sons of Thunder"
Your storms can take us under – you
"Sons of Thunder"

Now Peter
You’re called
To be their leader
Don’t be a bold deceiver
Stand up and be
A leader

Peter
Come on
And join me – Peter
You can be a great church
Healer

Now it’s
No wonder
You’re called the
"Sons of Thunder"

James! John!
He’s come to bring us all together
We’re just getting’ started
Don’t tear this thing apart

Now, it’s no wonder – you
“Sons of Thunder”
