I

When Satan’s arrests and persecution of Christians grow increasingly savage,

when the city is full of dark horror, and I flee wherever I can,

when human rights are wantonly deprived and confined,

when my only company is a long night of pain,

I shall not waver in my faith in God,

nor betray the Creator, the one true God.

Almighty true God, my heart belongs to You.

Incarceration can only control my body,

but it cannot stop my footsteps in following You.

Painful suffering, a bumpy road,

with the guidance of Your words, my heart is without fear;

with the company of Your love, my heart is sated.

How honored I am to follow Christ and pursue the love of God in this life!

With a heart and spirit, I should repay God’s love; I am willing to forsake all for testifying about God.

For as long as I live, giving my entire being to God is a choice I shall never regret.

II

When Satan’s devils’ ruinous torture grows ever more severe,

when searing pain hits me again and again,

when the agony of the flesh is about to reach its limit,

when my life is about to be taken in the final moment,

never will I give in to the great red dragon,

never will I be a Judas, a mark of shame on God.

Almighty true God, I will be loyal to You unto death.

Satan can only torture and destroy my body,

but it cannot destroy the faith and love I have for You.

Life and death shall forever be under Your sovereignty and arrangements.

I will forsake everything to testify to You.

If I can testify to You and bring shames upon Satan, I will die without complaint.

How honored I am to follow Christ and pursue the love of God in this life!

With a heart and spirit, I should repay God’s love; I am willing to forsake all for testifying about God.

For as long as I live, giving my entire being to God is a choice I shall never regret.
