Christians

On this night before Christmas As I sit here alone Thinking of Jesus And all at his throne I bow my head silently And pray just to you Lord Jesus your help Is needed it is true. There are people who think Our Faith is not true And want me to stop Believing in you. They push and they shove Their beliefs down on us Making laws that remove you From schools and such They say there is no place For you in this world And if we believe Then we have all been fooled They have made it illegal To say even your name In schools, at work Or even a game. The faith of all others Is fine they have said But Christian Religion They want to be dead. This country was built On Christian belief And most arrived here To get some relief So now it is said That saying your name Offends those that don’t Believe in the same. Your life you have spent Delivering this word Will not go unnoticed Even if they could You died on the cross You died for our sins We’ll stand up for you Jesus It’s time to begin As Christians we’ll unite We know what to do We’ll stand ready to fight To believe in you We won’t be ashamed We won’t hide your name This Christian belief Is not just a game Lord Jesus the strength We know comes from you And proudly we stand For we know you are true. Amen

Hi Janet. there is always opposition to the glory of god and the belief in Jesus. Those that fight against the love of Jesus will never win. One can be an army when he marches with the Lord....Robert.
