When Satan’s arrests and persecution of Christians grow increasingly savage,

when the city is full of dark horror, and I flee wherever I can,

when freedom is imprisoned in a dismal jail,

when my only company is a long night of pain,

I shall not waver in my faith in God,

never will I betray my Lord, my God.

Almighty true God, my heart belongs to You.

Incarceration can only control my body.

It cannot stop my footsteps in following You.

It cannot stop my footsteps in following You.

A painful, hard, bumpy road,

with Your words to guide me, I do not fear;

with Your love accompanying me, my heart is sated;

with Your love accompanying me, my heart is sated.

When the satanic devils’ ruinous torture grows ever more severe,

when searing pain hits me again and again,

when the agony of my flesh is about to reach its peak,

at the final moment, when my life is about to be taken,

never will I give in to the great red dragon,

never will I be a Judas, a mark of shame on God.

Almighty true God, I will be loyal to You unto death.

Satan can only torture and afflict my body,

but it cannot touch my faith and love for You,

but it cannot touch my faith and love for You.

Life and death shall forever be under Your dominion.

I will forsake everything to testify to You.

To testify to You and shame Satan, I will die without complaint.

To testify to You and shame Satan, I will die without complaint.

What an honor to follow Christ and pursue loving God in life!

With a heart and soul, I should repay God’s love;

I am willing to forsake all for testifying about God.

For as long as I live, giving my entire being to God

is a choice I shall never regret.

It’s a choice I shall never regret.

It’s a choice I shall never regret.
