Facing Persecution

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

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.

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!

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.
