lyrics

A lone man is thrown into the darkness
His hands and feet shackled to a wall
It’s the penalty of voicing his confession
And the weight of it begins to fall
As he remembers the beauty of his family
Left behind with pain now to endure
Within his darkened isolation
To his Lord he does cry

Oh Lord, ease this pain
Take any peace that I might have
Take it and give it to them, please, Lord

A woman rejected and forsaken
By the ones she has always known
The family she has belonged to
Now call her dead, leaving her alone
But the truth that she now firmly holds to
Brings her life she just can't deny
Yet from her lonely isolation
To her Lord she does cry

Oh Lord, ease this pain
Soften through their fearful hearts
That my family might be saved, please, Lord

These are the prayers of our brothers and sisters
Enduring persecution for the call
Their cries must not be in silence
It must be shattered by our prayers

A gathering of secret adoration
In the shadows they've come to pray
Fearing they have been reported
Yet determined they must stay
And intercede on behalf of the Body
To endure and make it to the end
Together in their common isolation
To their Lord they do cry

Oh Lord, ease this pain
Give to us Your holy strength to stand up
And confess Your name, please, Lord

These are the prayers of our brothers and sisters
Enduring persecution for the call
Their cries must not be in silence
It must be shattered by our prayers
