The Power of Pure Faith


This is a song I wrote in honor of my Huguenot ancestors:


"Martyrs’ Cry"
(c) 03 May 2012, Joyously Saved


Far beyond God’s perfect sky,
Heaven shouts the martyrs’ cry
For the Father all was gained
Life was lost but soul retained.


Chorus
By His throne, the martyr throng
Fills the sky with holy song
Pure in faith and thousands strong
Upholding truth forever.


Pure in spirit, now washed white
Kept the faith and fought the fight,
Witnesses for truth and zeal
By the Throne they humbly kneel


Chorus
By His throne, the martyr throng
Fills the sky with holy song
Pure in faith and thousands strong
Upholding truth forever.


Bridge
Hallelujah, Father God, Lord of power and might
Now we lay our lives before You, turning dark to light


For their testimony slain
Martyrs’ blood like holy rain
They fell triumphant at the feet
Of the Savior pure and sweet.


Chorus
By His throne, the martyr throng
Fill the sky with holy song
Pure in faith and thousands strong
Upholding truth forever.
