Capernaum

Capernaum, on the Sea of Galilee was known as the home town of the adult Jesus. The church here is built over Peters home where Jesus lived as well. Near the church are the remains of a synagogue which was built over a previous synagogue where Jesus taught. A step at this ruin, is one that Jesus likely would have walked upon.

Mark 1: 21-22, John 6: 22-59

Lyrics

Jesus came from Nazareth
To make Capernaum His home
He just suffered forty days in the desert
Tormented and alone

Jesus stayed with Simon Peter
Like brothers did they reside
Jesus loved and taught those people
Living on the waterside

He cast out unclean spirits
Healed the paralytic cured the ill
Aided Peters mother and the hemorrhaging woman
Drove the demon swine off the hill

Sometimes he’ed walk along the sea
Or across the mountainside
Where He would spend the night in prayer
There with His Father He would confide

Gave us the sermon on the mount
told us to be like a little child
By His walk and talk He showed us “The Way”
He gave us every reason to smile

He ministered from here
Spreading His message far and clear
He told us death would not overcome
He spread the word from Capernaum

Sometimes he’ed walk along the sea
Or across the mountainside
Where He would spend the night in prayer
There with His Father He would confide

He told us death would not overcome
He spread the word from Capernaum
No death would not overcome
He gave us His word at Capernaum
