Many are the good deeds we exhibit
With the enemy standing by to persecute us
Persecution gradually grows into constant torment
Still holding on to our faith
We are aggressively dragged into captivity
Where we are left for dead
We feed on rotten food remains
On the days our captors are friendly
With our flesh torn and bitten into
As Scripture continually encourages us
To not fear that which only harms the flesh
So we stand steadfast in the WORD
Then folly spreads in the city like famine
Our captors after exhausting the meager strength of their sorcerers
Remember then that they took us captive
They took knowledge captive
They immediately request for our release
To heal their broken nation with our knowledge
We do not refuse to heal the nation
But we ask them a frank question
How can we sing the Lord’s song in a strange land?
Be steadfast!
Do not be discouraged.
Because God is in control.
