Pews to Prisons

More than you could have guessed or dreamed of...

Let's step outside the comfort of the pew,

and give to Him what is due.

Sacrifice is a difficult kind of sweetness,

but before we know it, we'll feel His completeness.

Rise above darkness and lawlessness,

rise above petty disagreements and thoughtlessness.

Speak out against injustices and be a voice for the unborn,

so as not to compromise their precious purpose and delicate form.

Persecution is rising all around us,

sadly, soon our beliefs will be considered treasonous.

Praying for the supernatural strength that comes from above,

as our anointing to overcome falls like an innocent, pure, white dove.
