Red Letters

Folder: 
Christian

A tear drips upon the pages

Of the letters written in Red

Every night without fail

As she reads the words Jesus said



She greets God each morning

As she smiles at the Book

Thanking Him for His Word

And the sins from her He took



The girl goes on about her day

Persecuted as she tells

Unwilling listeners

How Christ saved her from Hell



They look at her in wonderment

Arguing the facts

About the One that God sent

But still, they turn their backs



She prays faithfully each night

For these people who don’t believe

That one day they would delight

In the One whom she’s received



This girl has no fear

Of persecution each day

Their hate for Him is clear

Alas, she continues to pray



That her mother would be saved

Her best friend would turn to Christ

They’d be raised from the grave

And rejoice in Everlasting Life



She might have given up

After all of these years

But the letters written in Red

Prove Christ’s blood and tears -
