Sent by god as a sacrifice

I will gladly give my life

I am seen as an abomination

A criminal of the nation

But I continue to stand and preach

Underground until the enemy has reached

And offers me a choice

One that I will give no voice

Underground we rejoice 

As the crowd lifts up their voice

To the one and only king

Then in my leg, I feel a sting

I have been shot from behind

The commotion has inclined

As the crowd scattered for their life

Soon mine will end with a knife

They have taken me to a dark room 

I feel here is were I will meet my doom

They looked me straight in the eye

And told me that I will die

If I do not deny my savoir Christ

Then they will gladly take my life

My heart starts to race

As I laugh to their face

They we not very amused

So they started the abuse

They broke my ribs with a bat

Hit me in the leg that cracked 

The agony was unbearable

But all l could think of was Jesus's parables

He had died for me

I must do the same for thee

The beating had stopped

And they had left me in a room that was locked

Laying in my blood

Being crawled on by bugs

Scared to death I pondered 

That brought myself to wonder 

What will my death change

Something must be rearranged

Nothing is wasted with the Lord 

I smiled, I couldn't have asked for more

Tomorrow is my public execution

But that's the beginning of this nations revolution

The morning sun broke the night sky

Thus is the day that I will die

But my death will not be in vain

It will ignite the world aflame

Some will see my death as a blood sport 

Others will see it as martyr for a God worth dying for

This is my predestined fate

I have a date with a burning stake

Thousands of people screaming for my head

I prayed silently for these people that want me dead

They throw objects at me violently

But my God cries out them constantly

This is why I am here

To show I have no fear

Because my life is in God's hands 

He is the one will the grand plan

They tied me to the stake

Told me the reasons for this fate

They placed a burning touch underneath me

But I let out no scream

I stayed quiet, and listened to the cheering crowd

While knowing that this will lift there doubt 

I watched the crowd through the flames

I could see that now, they are not the same

My pain started to drift away

And everything stared to feel okay

Peace overtook my body

And my Lord has taken me custody
