Apologetix Apostle Me
Well, if you're lookin' real hard and you're tryin' to find the apostles
But it just keeps gettin' tougher on your brain
Then I've got to do my part 'cause I know 'em by heart
I've got an easy way to say their names
Well, their names ain't fictitious so now don't get suspicious
Cause I know them and they're friends of mine
And I know that it's true that I can sing them for you
They'll come back to me if I make 'em rhyme
So keep apostl'y namin' Keep on apostl’y namin’
Keep on apost'ly namin' Keep on apostl'y namin'
Simon called Peter, James & John & Andrew, Levi, nicknamed Matthew
Philip, Doubting Thomas and James the Less
Simon called the Zealot, and Nathanael
Who's called Bartholomew, then Jude-Thaddaeus
Keep on apostl'y namin ...
Judas is missin' -- he lost his position but you know there were two men in line
And you know they did choose Matthias to fill his shoes
And Paul would come and join them in his sweet time
Simon called Peter, James & John & Andrew, Levi nicknamed Matthew
Philip, Doubting Thomas and James the Less
Simon called the Zealot, and Nathaniel
Who's called Bartholomew, then Jude-Thaddaeus
CHORUS
Matthew 10:2-4
These are the names of the twelve apostles:
first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew;
James son of Zebedee, and his brother John;
Philip and Bartholomew;
Thomas and Matthew the tax collector;
James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
