Rap about Persecution

What can I do when someone tries to mess up my life?
They make me feel everyday like I’m crucified

I get it, Lord! I get exactly how it felt
To have the ones you love slash you with a belt.

I get it, Lord! You’ve given me a thorn in my side
To see what I’m like in the fire-- if I’ll give you my life.

You’ve given me a person that says horrible words
I feel like her dinner. I’m getting shot with the birds.

And I understand what it means to walk in faith
Letting the cruel comments slide off what people say.

But it’s not easy! Especially when they are blood!
Those are the ones you’re really supposed to love!

And it’s hard, cause they are mean, and accuse me of wrong
When they know in their hearts I’ve done right all along

So what can I do? I feel put on the spot!
I feel like everyone hates me, like it or not!

It’s hard to see the beauty when everyone is liars
It’s hard to live for Jesus when I’m being strangled with wires

Those wires, are people, who preach Christ in vain
They don’t even care if they bash his name.

And because I carry his name, they bash me too
There is nothing in this earthly world I can do!!

I can’t make them stop, I can’t make them go away
I just have to suck it up, and live with it each day.

But it’s hard because I feel hate after the things they’ve done
It’s hard to feel like they’ve lost and like I’ve won

Cause they’ve affected me, even made me lose a job
One person has enough insults for an entire mob!

And that’s how it feels, I’ve been attacked from each side
And I’ve loved them! I’ve loved them! Well, I sure have tried.

And they get happy feet by putting me in jail,
If my release was a dollar they’d still never pay bail.

Everything they do comes straight from hell,
I call them Satan, cause they know him so well.

My entire heart is broken. I can’t believe what has occurred
I wish I was like Jesus, I wish I could not say a word

But I’ve fought and yelled, and I tried to defend my ways
But they laugh and joke, which turns up the blaze

And the worst part of all, is that some of them are in my family
If they find out anything they use it against me.

They lie to my friends, send absurd emails of spam
Just because they’re angry that I serve the “I Am”

And it hurts so much, that they would try to ruin
Everything in side me, and what God is doin’

And that’s all I have to say. There’s no sweet end
Those people who loved me were only pretend

And I don’t know what to do cause they’re just so unkind
If you knew what I’ve walked through it would blow your mind.

So, I just sit here, and can’t figure it out,
Tears drip down my face cause I’m filled with doubt

And I really wanted to be someone of great faith
But I live in the WORLD that’s why I’m never safe.

They hated Jesus, and people hate me constantly
When my eye's meet God's, we've both hung on a tree.

And that's what I was called to do-- to take up my cross
I didn't realize it would cost me so much.

But the losses I feel are really just gain!
I have heaven in my future. God pours like rain.

I love the Lord, and that won't ever change!
He's my best friend, and I'll die still bearing his name!
