The Martyrs Cry
Martyrs' Plea: Seeking Salvation Amidst Persecution
Lyrics
Lord God, free us, we have been caught in the lie
Expressing a plea for liberation from a falsehood or deception.
Save us, Jesus, we seek asylum in your eyes ...
Seeking refuge and salvation in Jesus Christ's gaze.
As they feast on our blood
Describing the brutality of those who harm them, possibly symbolizing persecution.
Vengeance come, open the heavens above ...
Calling for divine retribution, asking for justice from above.
Under the altar the souls of the martyrs;
Referring to the souls of those who sacrificed their lives for their faith.
Slain for the word of God ...
Acknowledging the martyrdom of individuals for their commitment to God's teachings.
Lord, how long?
Pleading with the Lord for a resolution or relief.
Lord, when will it end?
Questioning the duration of suffering and anticipating its conclusion.
When shall thee avenge our deaths?
Seeking divine intervention and justice for the deaths of the martyrs.
Jesus, help us, save us, seal us,
Directly appealing to Jesus for assistance, salvation, and protection.
Speak to us ... Jesus, Lord, vindicate our blood ...
Urging Jesus to speak and validate the spilled blood of the martyrs.
"Run to me, my child of light
Quoting Jesus, inviting the suffering one to seek solace and guidance.
In this your darkest hour ...
Encouraging seeking refuge in Jesus during difficult times.
For I am here with you,
Affirming Jesus' presence in moments of darkness.
I have cried the tears with you,
Expressing empathy from Jesus who shares in the sorrows of the afflicted.
My eyes bleed time and truth
Symbolic language describing the emotional pain experienced by Jesus.
Unto the vine of the earth ..."
Connecting the suffering to the broader context of existence on Earth.
"He who endures until the end shall be with me ...
Quoting a biblical promise that those who endure will be with Jesus.
In the arms of the Son,
Describing the ultimate connection with Jesus in the afterlife.
In the grace of His love,
Emphasizing the significance of God's love and grace.
In the promise I come ..."
Highlighting the assurance of Jesus' return and the fulfillment of promises.
