FLAME - We Gon’ Reign lyrics
[FLAME - We Gon’ Reign lyrics]
You know my heart was broke
When I heard about the 21 Coptic Christians
While at the same time I was encouraged
I pray we can learn from our persecuted
Brothers and sisters across the globe
Lord, give us courage
Can't you see the persecution that's
Been happening around us?
Jesus told us it would
Happen don't be surprised, Huh
With tears in our eyes
Even though they surround us
That Kingdom of Heaven is ours! God
He will crown us!
Somalia and Libya might imprison and bomb us
We've been a victim of terrorism
For telling Jesus is alive!
To the 21 Coptic Christians living
Down on that cold beach
Soon as their blood hit the sea
They were then present with God!
If we suffer with Him, we gon' reign
To be absent from the body means
I present with the King
To the persecuted Church around the globe
Remember: The gates of Hell won't
Prevail can't stop Him, No (CHURCH)
He gon', He gon' build His Church
He gon' build His Church
The gates of Hell won't prevail
Gon' build His Church
He gon' build His Church he gon'
He gon' build His Church
(What He say? What He say? What He say?)
The gates of Hell won't
Prevail gon' build His
The global reality of persecution
I pray it never breaks us
That it would never shake our faith and
We would lay down our lives
Places like North Korea, Nigeria, Syria
Where they make us
The objects of aggression putting
Pressure on all sides
Criminal mobs' really just fanatics
Try to intimidate us
Even government regulation ban
And outlaw Christ where societal pressure
Family and friends will forsake us
You can ask those Pakistani and
Egyptian Christians they tyrannize
No matter how we are suffering
No matter how we
Are persecuted, no matter how
We are marginalized
Our identity is not in whatever is happening
To us right now our identity is
Seated at the Right Hand of God
And He is feeling just fine
Cause He's promised us in the short-term
As cross on our backs
And He's promised us in the
Long-term a Crown of Life (A Crown of Life)
When I heard about the 21 Coptic Christians
