Heroes of the Gospel
From mouth to ear, from hand to hand
Through persecution in dangerous lands
Jesus is looking for souls
And in response, the heroes of the Gospel shine their light
Most not assigned to war before; called now for the highest of fights
While this most precious fact remains
That at some point they each said to themselves
The Gospel of Jesus Christ
Is worth more than my life
And so they ride at the speed of God
As an extension of His mercy
And carrying His law
Way back to Acts of the Apostles
There have been heroes of the Gospel
Through gladius and lion's teeth
Through torture, fire and unbelief
There weren't too many hearts unshaken
When heroes prayed for their assailants
They wear the chains that don't unlock
They've preached the word from chopping blocks
But they would never feel whole
If they weren't trying to save souls
Way back to Acts of the Apostles
There have been heroes of the Gospel
Until the enemy is toppled
There will be heroes of the Gospel!
Matthew 16:18 KJV
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
