They preached it

when they were crucified in rome in their arenas; when the word martyr came to mean someone who died for the substance they lived for.
A faith
that was more than words and symbols.

She was someone who had done more than just live with a little white angel being brushed off her shoulder,
A longing that could not be ignored.

while they were fed to lions in front of the people they had shared bread with the day before,
A hunger that life could not satisfy.

and they burnt them in the city streets to light the way for the lost below.
A passion that fire could not quench.

It was more than a belief as they laughed at him and turned their backs to him,
as they laughed because he wouldn't condemn them, wouldn't compromise now because of his promise to someone they couldn't see.
What is it to you?

For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Isn't He a mercyfull one?
