11 Blessed are
ye, when men shall
revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you
falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice,
and be exceeding glad: for great is your
reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Matthew 5:11-12 KJV
~~~~~~~~~~~
These days when you say
Jesus best beware,
The chance is great
you'll meet a wall of hate.
Consider yourself
blessed when they just stare,
For there are places
killing us is great.
Just tell them Christ
arose alive from death
And you'll be shouted
down and shown the door.
In some parts of the
world give Christ your breath
And they will roll your
head along the floor.
Rejoice when you are
persecuted here,
For so the prophets
suffered this and worse.
Count it a blessing
when your pain's severe,
For your reward in
heaven's worth their curse.
When persecution comes be glad in Christ
He'll be there with you when you're sacrificed.
