A tear drips upon the pages
Of the letters written in Red
Every night without fail
As she reads the words Jesus said
She greets God each morning
As she smiles at the Book
Thanking Him for His Word
And the sins from her He took
The girl goes on about her day
Persecuted as she tells
Unwilling listeners
How Christ saved her from Hell
They look at her in wonderment
Arguing the facts
About the One that God sent
But still, they turn their backs
She prays faithfully each night
For these people who don’t believe
That one day they would delight
In the One whom she’s received
This girl has no fear
Of persecution each day
Their hate for Him is clear
Alas, she continues to pray
That her mother would be saved
Her best friend would turn to Christ
They’d be raised from the grave
And rejoice in Everlasting Life
She might have given up
After all of these years
But the letters written in Red
Prove Christ’s blood and tears -
