Suffering Saints
‘In Me, you have peace’
Spoke Jesus, God’s Son
‘In the world, tribulation
Be courageous… I’ve overcome’.
Suffering
When confronted by suffering
With reasons unclear
Will we choose to grow better
Or grow bitter, with fears.
Seeing Our Sin
So, ponder sin’s price
Such suffering, separation
Jesus’ death on a cross
For His own creation.
Prayer
For You call me to partner
In Your image I’m made
To pray without ceasing
And see lives, remade.
Prayer is the Battle
For prayer, is the ground
Where God’s victory is won
So, persist and prevail
‘Till the enemy’s undone.
Pray God Liberates Libya
We pray, a great harvest
Throughout Libya, it’s people
Muslims embracing Christ
Turned from darkness and evil.
Pray for Yemen
Make streams in the desert
Turn the hearts of these people
To seek for you LORD
Turn to Jesus, from evil.
Pray for Somalia
Yes LORD, open doors
Despite such oppression
Midst violence and fear
Make Somalia, Your possession.
Our Prayer Battles
So, persevering in prayer
Asking God, to guide
How to pray, what to claim
He’ll reply, and provide.
Our God Fights for Us
So too, claim Christ’s victory
For with Him, you are bound
Do wait on the LORD
As His child, He surrounds.
