Facing the Furnace

As Daniel, and friends
Faced a fierce, fiery furnace
Said “Our God, can deliver
And if not, we still serve Him”.

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.

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.

Counted Worthy to Suffer

And we trust not in self
Despair even of life
But ’tis God, who will raise us
Out of suffering, and strife.

Are You Ready?

Yes from fires, grew faith
Out of suffering, success
The Lord builds His church
And naught can suppress.
