The Stoning of Saint Stephen
by Fenny West The Stoning of Saint Stephen a man who was sold out to God Faithful, Spirit filled, one of seven. Saturated by the Word of God. He spoke the word with boldness Religious fanatics could not stand Told them their wrongs in frankness His heart they failed to understand They carried Stephen like a cargo, Dumped him helpless by the wall Hurled stones on him like a foe; But he prayed for them in it all. Like Jesus, 'Father, forgive them. They know not what they do.' So he prayed as his breath they stemmed In fury as a pack of hounds do. Persecuted today like Stephen? Stand to see God's salvation Have you been hurled into prison? Look to the God of very nation. He is interceding for you. Your troubles will lift you up. God will bring you through. When your back is down you can only look up. Acts 6:1 to Acts 8:2 Copy it rightly www.inspiration4generations.com [email protected] Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
