Persecution of Christianity

Listen to the wailing and screaming

As it was two thousand years ago

Innocence is being exterminated

Evil forces striking a heavy blow

The blood of martyrs being shed

People's lives are in utter despair

This is a crime against humanity

A time of great distress and fear

The demons must be quivering
Of what will soon come to pass
Blood of martyrs is pouring out
Culminating soon in God's wrath

The ancient Coliseum is echoing
Screams of horror and despair
Evil again showing its ugly face
We all have eyes but do we care

The voice of the Church is silent
Evil is being allowed to roam free
History once again repeating itself
In the persecution of Christianity

A Martyr's Crown

Claim to be his and you will suffer
Speak truth; you will be ridiculed
Live morally; you will be scorned

A living martyr's crown of thorns

They will pin abusive tags on you
Labeled a relic of a bygone day
Curse and hiss you over and over
Attacking you as helpless prey

The arrogant, proud and boastful

Will make a laughing stock of you

You will be battered and beaten

Chastised for all the works you do
 

Stand tall warrior faithful and true
Proclaim always his blessed name

Salvation born amidst thorny roses

A martyr's crown seals your claim 

I Love Christianity

I love my faith

It sets me free
I love Christianity

I love the Mass

Celebrating the Lamb
I love the "Great I Am"

I will never waiver

Never ever be quiet
I will not sit idly by

I love my Savior

His name is Jesus
His love is everlasting

I will never be ashamed

To proclaim his Holy Name
He is my Lord and King

I love my faith

It sets me free
I love Christianity

Holy, Holy, Holy

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you

Before you were born I consecrated you

I appointed you a prophet to every nation

Before the beginning of time....."I AM"

My Lord in you I take refuge

Let me never be put to shame

In thy righteousness deliver me

Thy wondrous deeds I proclaim

My praise is continually of thee

You are forever a fortress for me

In the womb you sustained me

Upon the cross you set me free

My rock of refuge and tranquility

Strong fortress cover my shame

Wisdom pours forth from thee

Thy Holy Name I shall proclaim

Before you formed me you knew me

Consecrated my soul to live for thee

To rejoice forever of your glory

The "Great I AM" Holy, Holy, Holy!

Together Redeemed

Those damn menaces

Cluttering our gardens
Choking down under
Shading out the light

They do not bear fruit

Unsightly and visible
Powerful and strong
At work day and night

Inhibiting our growth

Pricking through us
Relentless; persistent
Sticking like leaches

Remaining steadfast

With patient humility
Awaiting the harvest
The gathering season

A time of separation

All shall be gathered
The bearer and barren
Uprooted and sifted

Menace and Martyr

Such an unlikely team
Soiled daily together
Together redeemed

Destination...Most High

Saying their goodbyes to loved ones
Soon they would be flying high
Above the earth of rockets and guns
Destination...Most High

Every day we share is a blessing
We climb aboard for the ride
The journey starts alone at one end
Ends alone on the other side

Well above the mountain tops high
And the valley streams below
One can hear their voices outcry
From aboard the great unknown

People long for peace upon earth
While explosions are lighting the sky
From the very moment of our birth
Till we reach destination...Most High

Welcome to America

Welcome to America, come on in

Cross the border without a fence

Bring us your women and children

Welcome to America, come on in

Blessed is this jewel of emigrants

Pieces of dreams on the earth

They came seeking out freedom

They keep coming and believing

Welcome to America, come on in

Just leave your birth home behind

Once you do you will taste honey

The goodness, wonder; sweetness

Walk upon the land of martyrs past

The heroes of freedom ever present

The heart and soul of a Great Nation

Fathers, mothers, sons, daughters

Blessed is this jewel of emigrants

Graced are those that come here

Welcome all to this blessed land

America!!! If only you knew Her!
