For those who are devoted to
Christ
Will doubtless live troubled
lives.
We who faithfully follow in
His steps,
And boldly carry out His
precepts,
May find peril along the
path
But we are always
resurrected in the
Aftermath!
See, my feeling may get hurt
My ego may be bruised,
But when I stand for Christ,
Let No man be confused…
My reputation may suffer,
My family may hurt,
My property might be burned
to the dirt,
My liberty may be taken,
And my influence condemned,
But ALL will be worth it
when I stand before HIM!
I may be tortured, or suffer
death,
But I’ll always praise with my next
breath.
For on earth as alive,
Or in heaven above,
I am sealed to redemption,
Raptured in love!
When we suffer with Christ,
We’ll be blessed by the same
Forever be held by the
name above names.
Ridiculed, neglected, excluded, or shunned,
Mocked, belittled,
abandoned, I WILL NOT be stunned.
It was done to the prophets,
apostles and Christ,
Why, for my count, would I
think Satan would be nice?
In my profession of faith to
my Lord
There is one thing I must
record:
A preparation for
persecution
And resolve to not ever
shrink back
Through I may be on the
beating end of attacks.
I will recall where Christ once hung,
Yet He’s NOT on the cross,
And He’s NOT in some
tomb.
He's at the right hand of
God,
And He’s prepared me a room.
So victory is mine,
Not for a moment, a year or
a life,
But for all eternity
Which is where we’ll be when
we die!
Live for Christ, die to
FLESH
Glorify God with every
BREATH!
