I have heard how Christians long ago
Were brought before a tyrants throne.
They were told that he would spare their lives
if they would pronounce the name of Christ.
One by one they chose to die
the Son of God they would not deny.
Like a great angelic choir sings I can almost hear their voices ring,
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb with all my strength with all I am.
I will seek to honor His commands I pledge allegiance to the lamb.
Now the years have come and the years have gone.
But the cause of Jesus still goes on.
Now a time has come to count the cost
To reject this world and embrace the cross.
One by one let us live our lives for the One who died to give us life.
Till a trumpet sounds on that final day,
Let us proudly stand and boldly say,
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb with all my strength with all I am.
I will seek to honor his commands,
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb.
To the Lamb of God who bore my pain
Who took my place and wore my shame.
I will seek to honor His commands
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb.
Words by Ray Bolts
Rev.6:9
When the Lamb broke the fifth seal I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the Word of God and because of the testimony they had maintained.
Rev.12:11
And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony and they did not love their life even when faced with death.
It is estimated every 3 to 5 minutes some precious soul spills their blood for Jesus.
Posted in memory and honor of those slain martyrs.
