Lord, within this persecution, help me to despise
all bitterness and let the sweetness of your precious love
be such an ever-flowing pulse within my heart, mind, and soul
that all the ordinary, and what would worry, lack luster next to You.
For, what it cost You makes all my discomfort pale as night to day.
Even so you hold me dearly, assuring I am well,
well, within the wondrous salvation You bestowed.
