lyrics

Consider it joy
when you bear curses and scorn
for the sake of the truth.
God’s sanctifying you through it all.
Don’t hang your head.
Don’t you know they may cage your flesh,
but only God holds your soul.
I admit when I received your call
that I had no idea how this could all
work out well.
Their lies seemed so unstoppable.
They call you a fanatic
and they steal away your kids.
They have no proof. They’re there,
therefore, it’s clear that you’re unfit.
And if you keep a level head
they say that you are cold.
And if you get distressed they say
you’re just like they’ve been told.
They don’t care if you don’t,
and they don’t care if you do . . .
as long as when the gavel falls,
they’ve damned you.
Can you hear it?
That’s God laughing, God laughing.
Go ahead and laugh with Him.
And consider it joy . . .
He will confuse them in His wrath,
and then He’ll set your family firmly
on a level place.
