Persecution—
Brighter
Every day we have to face
So much we can’t erase
It’s a battle and a race
My call on the Lord is what I trace.
Such a delight to know
And remember his love so
To write it down makes me grow
As I come and go.
Tempted on the left and right
Oh, to keep my Lord in sight
While heartache brings on the night
Many are taking flight.
Keep me true, my God
Through the fire and the rod
For thou has suffered on this sod
Where unmoved love has trod.
Grant us this Thy strength
While this time is over length
Cut it short as thou has spoken
Jesus promised His great token.
Dear tender Jesus kind and true
Will get us all the way through
He will do it just for you
To save and make all things new.
