If discipleship was about being perfect
Jesus wouldn’t have chosen Peter – he denied him
If Apostleship was all about holiness
He wouldn’t have thought of Judas – he was a traitor
Did he want his words swallowed hook, line and sinker
Maybe he would have thought twice before inviting Thomas
But maybe he doesn’t really call only the perfect
For he wouldn’t have chosen them differently
Some very young, others exceptionally old
Some innocent and ever asking questions
While one was malicious and always having plans
Or would he have chosen men ready to leave his sinking boat
And it still looks like Jesus has never changed
For he has not yet decided to call only Angels
As we see his alter still surrounded by imperfect men
And there’re still men from all races, tribes and languages
Some angelic and some others struggling with life
For priests are men and as all human, striving to be perfect
