The Faithful

Thought today I would share a poem I wrote quite a while ago. The first stanza is from Steve Green's song "The Faithful"; the rest is mine. :)

In dark filthy places

Forsaken

Forgotten

Our brothers and sisters

Are paying the price

They will not deny Him

to purchase

their freedom

These are the Faithful

The martyrs of Christ

They’re tortured

and beaten

And finally their voices

Fall silent at last

Unseen

Unknown

and Silence reigns again

From under the altar

Their blood is outcrying

How long, Lord?

How long till my people

Will again hear Your voice?

Who will come to

Raise Your banner?

How long Lord

How long till our

Torch of truth can

Be passed on

How long Lord?
