The Victors of Christ
Before the seven bowls of wrath
Are poured out, an interlude
Comes between symbols six and
Seven but only for a brief period.
Now there is an interlude of praise
And thanksgiving of the redeemed
As they sing the song of Moses and
The Lamb. The martyrs are safe.
They died the most savage and cruel,
And agonizing deaths. To them death
Was a greater victory than survival.
Now they are seen as victors.
The real victory is to face the worst
That evil can do, and if need be,
Be faithful unto death and the
Merciful Father will give glory.
Jesus said, Whosoever shall save his
life shall lose it; and whosoever
will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
Now the martyrs rejoice in heaven.
