Rejoice amidst suffering Archives - Page 3 of 4

Troubles, Tribulation, Torture or Death

And are we offering our help
Pleading often, in prayer
Are we giving finances
Help meet needs, and care?

So, continually hope
For God is our trust
Our hiding place, refuge
Our sure future, in Jesus.

His grace, always sufficient
His power, perfected in weakness
By faith, we’re made strong
In Christ Jesus, completeness.

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

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

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

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

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

But persecution, means blessings

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