Lyrics

Martyr?s Voice
Words & Music by: Jonathan McCaskell

Vs 1: There is a Brother in Africa ? kneeling with a gun to his head.
A North Korean Sister ? in a gulag ? praying she was dead.
A Saint of Jehovah God in Iran ? bruised and bloody for taking a stand.

Chorus: All over the world ? the Body of Christ ? persecuted.
All over the world ? the Body tortured ? executed.
What do we do? ? What did Jesus teach us? ? Fight back with love.



Love conquers death ? love conquers Hell ? love conquers the grave.
Love conquers car bombs ? love conquers terror cells ?
the love of Jesus is gonna win ? in the end.

Vs2: There is a home church in China ? soldiers kicking down their door.
A Coptic Christian girl in Egypt ? bein? passed around and used for a whore.
A Christian family in Indonesia ? chained in a building engulfed in flame for lifting up Jesus Name

Repeat Chorus

Vamp out: Like sheep we are slaughtered ? all the day long, But from our dying lips the grace of Jesus is our song.
Beloved there is coming a day when those who kill you will think that they do God a service ?
Well ? that day has come!
And when they opened the 5th seal ? I saw under the altar ? the souls of those who had been
martyred for the Word of God. And they cried out in a loud voice ?How long O Lord ? Holy
and True `til You judge and avenge our blood??
A white robe was given to each of them ? told they must rest a little longer `til all the number
would be martyred and gathered in.
Love conquers death ? love conquers Hell ? love conquers the grave.
Love conquers terror cells ? the love of Jesus is gonna win, gonna win, gonna win in the end.
