They will hate you and revile you,
curse the Gospel you hold dear
for they cannot stand Him true,
the God who is their deepest fear,
and they will try to break your heart
make you for your faith atone.
If you refuse to play your part
then they will gladly break each bone,
and you will let your hands be tied,
pray for them in your surrender,
for rebellion will have died
the more often you remember
that the road to Calvary
must be your willing destiny.
May each breath we take be a prayer to Him.
ReplyDeleteWe were just talking about persecution on Sunday, Andrew. Some persecution is minor - ridicule, snubs - and other persecutions are life-threatening - prison, beheading, burning, etc. May the Lord strengthen His People in whatever circumstances they find themselves.
