The Persecuted Church

[stormomar]

Since the Church's earliest days
persecution has been their lot
this is promised in scripture
as holy living is taught

Jesus said to take up thy cross
to follow Him this had to be
for many in His day
followed Him then did flee

The saviour also said
the destruction gate is wide
many will follow it
for few will be on His side

His gate will be narrow
hard it'll be to stay
on the road to heaven's gate
and stay on the true way

Many have given their lives
for the sake of righteousness
God is worth the price
for His own He will bless

Whatever the road we take
the Lord has gone before
pointing the way ahead
showing us His open door

But God's people are
persecuted till comes the moment
when the Lord will appear
to remove them from earthly tent
