Title: “Remembering the Persecuted”
Recorded: August 2, 2005 at the National Fine Arts Festival in Denver, CO
God sees everything you do
And you’re not fighting this battle alone
Each day hope he spreads anew
He brings joy along with pain
And your sufferings are not in vain
So we’ll keep you in our prayers
And know that Jesus cried blood mixed with tears
For the persecuted church
This song goes out to you
Light a candle in the wind
Burn with passion for our King
Love him like you’ve always known how
And keep up the faith
We’re here behind you
Starving, knocking on secret doors to pray
Hiding places, impressions that will never fade
Blood, sweat, and tears, imprisoned for years
Seeing loved ones die
Right before your eyes
So this song goes out to every secret church
You’ll never renounce His Name
Dear God, make my faith like the persecuted church
Bring peace to every cry in silence
Every wound by a gunman share a crown
God, one day I know that I’ll be the persecuted church
May I never renounce your Name
May I never be ashamed
Light a candle in the wind
Burn with passion for our King
Love him like you’ve always known how
And keep up the faith
We’re here behind you now
