"Under Threat of Death"
Animosity rampant in this atmosphere--
not afraid to die
Nonconformity, will not be constrained--
see the glimmer in my eye?
A relentless onslaught, experience persecution for faith
Useless; even death is on my side
It takes me to His arms, holy sacrifice of a martyr
Exist for the day I'm by His side
Hatred courses all around here
People want to see
Believe Jesus is the Son of God--
For this would you dare to die?
As time goes by, your faith is tested hard
For having your faith in Jesus Christ you're called to be strong
Under threat of death
The righteous will stand to the ending of the age
Persecution for faith
No price too great in this war we wage
As you look at me standing for my faith in Him
Spit into my eyes
Overwhelmingly forced to see the truth:
For a lie no one would die
For I am convinced that neither death nor life,
Nor angels, nor principalities,
Nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor powers, nor height nor depth,
Nor any created thing
shall separate us from the love of God . . .
(Romans 8:37-39)

For having your faith in Jesus Christ you're called to be strong
Under threat of death
The righteous will stand to the ending of the age
To their very last breath
See their names written in the Book of Life's pages
In times gone past, men have given their lives to the last
In Christ's name, ignoring all the terrible pain
When under oppression, martyrs gave their lives for the Son
Can you do less? Are you really even oppressed?
You must live for Christ with every single breath,
Even under threat of death
