Remember Them...

“It’s not easy being a Christian!”

We sigh from our big soft chair

“Why, today I was reading my Bible

And my co-worker gave me a glare!

While down in a cell

A brother’s life is hell

Shackles on his legs

In pain he sits and begs

“It’s not easy being a Christian

It’s really just not cool

While I have trials at work

The kids get bullied at school!”

While in another country

Too far away for us to care

A woman cries in agony

For her child is no longer here

Why do they weep?

Well, we don’t know

And if we care

It sure doesn’t show!

There is family out there

That we’ve never met

And it’s just so easy

Their pain to forget!

They are the ones who really know

How hard it is to be a Christian

And while we sit and complain

They are suffering in Jesus’ name

We try to remember them

And pray for them too

But our lives are so busy

And there’s so much to do!

So while we sit in complacency

Can we at least spare a prayer?

Cause if it was you or me

We’d want our family to care

Hebrews 13:3 - Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering. NIV
