The comfort in seeing you again,
In all our travels
To find you in service to the Lord,
Wherever we may go.
My kindred, brother and sister,
Here you are once more,
Your difficulties no less than mine.
Yet we gather today.
A curious thing about our faith,
It’s rooted in a Person!
The perseverance to persist
Is as timeless as we sit!
Persecution though subtle and slight
Deters us not the least,
It’s no more a hindrance now,
Than two thousand years ago.
