Pray for the Persecuted

She lived in Saudi Arabian land
Converted to Christ, knew she was takin a stand
So restrainin to say she was hated
Infuriated her father so he made his own statement
Enraged by what she has done
Wasn't long before she couldn't speak cause he cut out her tongue
And if that wasn't heinous enough
He burned her to death till what's left remainin was some dust
Deceased for her beliefs
Like the aid worker shot in Afghanistan bleedin in the streets
And a Chinese pastor's ridiculed for his speech
Thrown in prison while his sons are beaten by police
And this happens in so many countries today
Christians are runnin' while being hunted as prey
Hated for the same gospel that saved us in the states
As they rely on nothin' but faith

We got it made in America, freedom to believe
Can say in America, "Jesus, you must receive"
However, the weather's sever overseas
Christians tortured, killed for their beliefs

Saints attacked everyday for the fact that their faith's
In the God of the Bible they actively praise
In a place where it's outlawed, I have to convey
Us believers need to stop this passive display
Say what can we do, if nothin' intercede
For our brothers and sisters stuck in these countries
Pray for 'em in these lands with no love
And the cost of thier faith is paid by their own blood
Satan wants us to keep Jesus to ourselves and in private
Remain silent in public just stay quiet
Why it causes riots, there's power in His name
Sayin you believe in Him's not how to get fame
But it's how to get slain as the masses get mean
But it's expected read John chapter fifteen
The eighteenth verse the curse just makes it worse
Jesus said if they hate know that they hate me first

I ain't ignorant, know the winds of change is imminent
And what we believe we'll be explained as different
Than progress, the bible tells of this process
And how the world that was created became Godless
That's why our message of hope and methods to quote
God's Word got the church threats that arose
From the depths of Hell and I know
Satan's plot to destroy will never prosper our foes
That's truth in them scripts
They don't know the Father or Son is why persecution exists
Wicked pride's enough to choose to dismiss
Like when Paul and Barnabas witnessed zealous Jews in their midst
Learn the history of the church's movement
See it shows Stephen stoned why I turn to music
And don't think ISIS is the first to do it
Lets stay united and pray daily for the persecuted
