Song Story:  
       I was driving back  late at night from Studio 2's session when the radio station
started speaking of persecutions around the world that no one in Europe or Northern
America including the United States ever hear about because news media doesn't
think it important to tell people when persecution is done against Christian churches.
(And frequently, no news about Jewish peoples or "unimportant" village residents, either.)

       At home at 12:30 AM, I started writing this song's lyrics. At 1 AM, I finished.
God still, always, guides when we ask Him for words to speak His Word...
Jesus's promise in John 14:26-27, repeated through God's word in Romans 8:26, etc.

Dedicated 10 January 2014 to our LORD God Who shall STILL be Lord in Control
when the Final, Prophesied, persecutions of churches really start slamming down;

LYRICS
1
What happens when__  __ perse-cution __
slams against ev'ry __ Christian church? _
When those sermons __ teaching blessings __
turn to words about survival? __
What happens when __ health and riches __
are taken from ev'ry __ Christian church,
as perse-cution __ that Jesus __ promised __
in End Times are proven __ TRUE? ___


Will those churches that focus on blessings __
THEN teach James 1's words from God? __
That Christians shall have __ perse-cution __
and must STILL see Joy through Christ?...... _
That churches shall have __ perse-cution __
and must still rejoice inside?

BRIDGE 1
What happens when __ perse-cution, like __
Matthew 24, __ promised by God __
to slam churches in the end times __
try to make YOUR faith __ die? __
After years of sermons on blessings, __
Will church people's __ FAITH survive? _

INTERLUDE:  Readings from Matthew 24

2
What happens when __ __ perse-cution __
slams against ev'ry __ Christian church, __
when those sermons __ teaching blessings __
start to make people think GOD LIED ___,
because churches' __ definitions
of blessings are __ shallow guides __
Blessings of great open __ doors __ ,
health and money _ in our life? __

Will church people taught only of blessings __
water down the Word of God __
to avoid being __ perse-cuted __,
starting with being called INTOLERANT? __
Will churches water down __ God's Word __
and STOP calling sins SINS NAMED BY GOD? __

BRIDGE 2
What happens when __ perse-cution, like __
Matthew 24, __ promised by God __
to slam churches in the end times __
try to make YOUR faith __ die? __
After years of sermons on blessings, __
Will church people's __ FAITH survive? _

CONCLUSION: 
Reminder of Jesus's Word in Matthew 5:11 --
“Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, 
and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake."

Readings from Mark 4.
Jesus's Word in 4:17 -- 
“and they have no root in themselves, 
and so endure only for a time. 
Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises 
for the Word's sake,
immediately they stumble."
