Dad, has it always been this way? Well, even from the beginning men hated Jesus Even thought he did nothing but love them And teach them and heal them They nailed him to a cross They thought they had killed Him, but they only set him free To live in the hearts of people like you and me who believe in Him Then came the apostles and most of them were killed For telling other people about Jesus So they tortured them and killed them And even left their bodies to rot as an example to other people, But the church kept right on growing Watered by the blood of these precious Saints But Dad, Did they want to die? No They didn't want to die I mean, many of them had children Just like you they had to leave behind But they were forced to make a choice They could choose to live this one life here on
