Facing Sickness

Facing sickness
Thoughts of death
Feel helpless, Lord
You are my breath.

Facing Persecution

No freedom allowed
To express your opinion
Could you trust God
To obey His Commission?

 Enduring Life’s Hardships                               

Yet despite persecution
Face hardship and suffering
May Jesus, be exalted
Be His sacrifice , a holy offering.

Come Forth as Gold

For ’tis out of the ashes
God fashions like clay
We’re now destined for glory
As we trust and obey.

Choosing Affliction

So, choose rather to suffer
Affliction, with God’s people
Than passing pleasures of sin
Be with Christ, and not evil.

Chinese Sowing

From those martyred, persecuted
The seeds they had sown
Sprang forth in abundance
A great harvest had grown.

Burdened for the Persecuted?

But persecution, means blessings
Tho’ reviled, faced oppression
They can rejoice, and be glad
With great rewards, in heaven.

Brutalized Buddhist Believers

But persecution, means blessings
Tho’ reviled, faced oppression
They can rejoice, and be glad
With great rewards, in heaven.

Blasphemy Laws

Wholly illiterate, impoverished
Yet a Muslim Imam claimed
A blasphemous text, was sent
In English….they were blamed!

Badshah was Beaten

Badshah suffered, so greatly
And paid such a price
But by faith, he obeyed
Assured Christ would suffice.
