Persecution Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Downcast and Discouraged?

Know God, comforts the downcast,
And gives grace, for each need,
Our hope, ever in the LORD,
He never fails us, always succeeds!

So, give God thanks and praise;
Sin and death, are overcome;
In Christ, now as His child;
You’re so beloved, your war is won.

With unending persecution;
Nigerian leaders do not care;
May we commit, to ceaseless praying;
To see our God, deliver there.

So midst our own, deep dark valleys
We oft’ recall, our wrong behavior
Yet focus not, upon our failures
But trust in Christ, our risen Savior.

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

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

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

So, remember they’re family
Forget not, stay prayerful
Your brothers and sisters
In Christ… do be faithful.

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

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