Cannot Kill the Soul
by Sarah Lewry

People are dying for what they believe.
Great is the reward in Heaven that
they will one day receive.

Persecution is everywhere; on the streets
and in schools. People are saying
that Faith in God is against the rules.

God says that those who are persecuted
will one day be greatly blessed.
Theirs is the crown of righteousness.

People ask God why events like this happen.
Why must some great punishment receive
just because of what they believe?

Jesus is Faithful and is with them
to the end. He is their Savior
Redeemer and friend.

God will one day again make them whole
Though people can kill the body
they cannot kill the soul.
