Song Lyrics

---

What is the gift of martyrdom
Can we not only use it once
Even if we should have this gift
It’s hard to make sense
Unless we see eternal things

Do you believe God takes away
and needs so much for you to die
When He Himself came to die for you
His permissive will
Never departs from His love

Chorus
Of all the gifts desire the greatest
Love is the greatest of all
And this gift to die for one’s neighbour
Governs the use of all God’s gifts

The religious crowd stoned him
Yet Stephen forgave them all
What he saw they could not see
The heavens opened
Jesus at God's right hand

Chorus

Shadrach, Meshach, Abed-Nego
And the fourth man Jesus
The king’s eyes unveiled to see
The beloved unhurt
walking about unburned

Chorus
