Jesus Freaks: Martyrs (by dc talk & The Voice of the Martyrs)

from this day forward . . .

from this day forward...

I will make a difference. Jesus, I thank You that You suffered

and died for me on the cross to pay for my sins.

Father, I thank You that You raised Jesus

from the dead to be my living Lord and Savior.

Holy Spirit, I thank You that You will lead me

to do the right thing and change my world.

Today, Lord, I want to make You a promise.

I will not be ashamed of Your name

or Your Gospel.

I will do what I can for those who are

persecuted and pray for them.

I will look enemies in the eye and love

them with Your love. I will pray for them and

love them-no matter what the

consequences.

I will follow Your voice wherever You lead

me, unafraid, for I know You will be with me.

If I should stumble, if I fall, if I should

deny Your name, if I should feel guilty that

I did not pray or forgot to do something

You've asked me to do,

I will not quit.

I will not wallow in guilt.

I will turn back to You, confess my sin, and do what You called me to do,

because that is why You died for me.

I will stand with You

and my brothers and sisters around the world,

because no matter what happens, no

matter what I face or how it looks, in the end, we

will be victorious-we will inherit eternity and

heaven with You.

I can do nothing else, because

...I am a Jesus Freak.
