We Shall Come Forth as Gold

Facing fierce fires, to burn dross
Trusting Jesus, we lay hold
Be surrendered, and stay faithful
We shall come forth as gold.

In Every Trial and Storm

Be not discouraged, nor despair
As He prepares you, in Christ
Working all things for good
By grace in Him, fully sufficed.

My Hiding Place and Shelter

You are my hiding place
And also my shield
I hope in Your Word
There Your love, revealed.

Tortured for Christ

So, despite such depravity
The height of men’s evil
You will comfort, and care
LORD God, Your own people.

The Privilege of Persecution

For persecution’s rewarded
Such an honor to bear
To walk the way, of His cross
In His sufferings, His life share.

The Blessings of Persecution

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

Suffering-God’s Path to Blessings

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

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.

Pray for the Persecuted Afghani’s

Yes LORD, midst oppression
May Your people shine bright
That multitudes of Afghani’s
Turn from darkness, to light.
