The Blessings of Persecution

And there, no more pain
Soon glory, and splendor
God’s presence and peace
His kingdom, forever.

This Christmas, remember
The gift that God gave
His beloved dear Son
To seek and to save.

May the LORD increase
In my life, day by day
And may I decrease
I earnestly pray.

In Jesus’ suffering, God’s path
To bless fallen man
In His cross, our daily dying
God has shown us, His plan.

‘In Me, you have peace’
Spoke Jesus, God’s Son
‘In the world, tribulation
Be courageous… I’ve overcome’.

When confronted by suffering
With reasons unclear
Will we choose to grow better
Or grow bitter, with fears.

The verdict is in
And, ‘self’ has to die
Against our carnal cravings
Long deceived, by a lie.

Seek but the Lord
Not for what He can do
But simply enjoy Him
Alone, He and you.

So be not downcast
Our heavenly Father above
Ever faithfully outpours
His unchanging love.

Never alone
No, never alone
As a child of the King
You are His own.
