lest their pride and joy be found
their love their joy their source
is damnable by culture of course
clubs break and sirens blare
curious eyes search and stare
shackle and bruise cannot compel
strength unwavering all could tell
iron bar and dank cell contain
but soaring soul cannot refrain
to sing of joy in voice of praise
and to their Father and freedom gaze
sentence passed and verdict found
their bodies would soon meet the ground
with fearless eye and faithful heart
they await their moment to depart
their reward their treasure is bestowed
in Abba's presence it was foretold
no threat of pain no fear of duress
safe and secure in the heaven's caress
