Remember the Runner's
I hear the harp and singing
Of a time so long ago
he watches from the tower
While the city burns below
Do you hear Nero singing
While music from the harp is played?
A crowed enraged against him
And money for guilt they trade
The shadows of darkness are rolling
While Rome goes up in flame
Nero dispels all suspicion
Christian's. are the ones he'll blame
A candle burns through the darkness
And the wax is melting down
For they walk over the dead of thousands
Still not vanquishing their sound
How many have gone before me?
Their feet through times beating drum
The name's of those are millions
Towards the finish line they run
Can you hear the voice still singing
And the harp call to it's prey?
The winds of time are still blowing
As the darkness seeks to slay
Can you hear the echoes of thunder
As candle's burn bright and low?
The executioners grow weary
As the melted candle's flow
Remembering the Runner's
Faithfully racing for the test
They saw Jesus in their suffering
Now candle's with him they rest
Martyred Saint's who ran before me
I can hear your joyful cries
Add one more name to the millions
If martyred for my prize

Remember the Runner's
I hear the harp and singing
Of a time so long ago

While the city burns below
Do
The truth is in my heart
The truth is in my soul
The truth is in His words
The truth is what makes me whole
Lies are who you
Stand alone against the odds
Heads held high we die
All for one and one for all
Is this our battle cry
Where?
Where do I belong in presence of state
What does percipience of persecution mean
If not the search for belief before
by Dawn Buck
Joan-Crying out for your courage-how you stood alone.
Utterly forsaken from your army, your country, your home.
With no allies-in
