Persecution

Persecution: bitter and mean,
unmerciful evil scheme
You keep me close to my resolution.
You keep me warm in my Lord's bosom.

Persecution for the next level.
I see you approach like a black sparrow.
You bring bad news mistakenly.
Because glory ascends unexpectedly.

Resurrection for those who cling
to the power of the Cross and sing:
Glory, glory... Glory to the King,
He who raises the dead to bring:

Resurrection,! Resurrection!
Glorious, eternal... salvation!
It is my nation who stays wondering.
Soon He will come. Soon, He will bring!
