Breakfast of Fish - John 21:9-14
“When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread. Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.” So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.
This is another attempt to fit existing music from "Only Golden Fingers Could Play So Heavy" into "40 Days: Resurrection to Ascension"
The original song "Clarinet Player" and has been slightly reworked to match the meter of the new lyrics.
Jesus:
Here’s a fire ignited
Here’s a basket of bread
Bring me some of those fishes
Sit down for a big spread.
Eat your fill and
Tell me your all your tales
They’re incredible!
Peter:
We were out on the water
Having nary a bite
Almost ready to give up
When you came into sight
We believed and
Rolled up our sleeves
And the net filled!
And now we’re once more
Eating with the Lord!
The fire is warming us
Our faith once more restored!
We just couldn’t be silent
When we saw it was you
None of us needed
To ask “Who are you?”
You are the Lord and
Life is our reward
No longer skeptical

Thank you. I didn't play it, but scored it into Finale many years ago and exported to a MIDI, then MP3. Updated to fit the meter a bit to fit the new lyrics.

Pretty tune, well played and recorded (the opposite of my output here). Well done!
