cruz cordero - martyrs lyrics

let’s take a look into this book called the martyrs’ mirror
a collection of stories that can draw y’all nearer
closer to the glory of the prince of peace
having war ceased from italy to the middle east to philly streets
it’s really deep, jesus keeps his peeps meek, yet he
keeps us strong, the word he speaks is bond
he’ll never leave us nor forsake us
he’ll take us in his arms and he’ll lead us on
his peace will keep us calm
so come along as we journey in honor of
the many men and women empowered by the power of
god’s love
it gots to be a part of us
if we’re called as followers this love should be synonymous
with our lives, not just our lips
it’s time to get fanatical with this gift that god gives
if this love is in you, you would do what dirk did
dirk williams that is, a true servant who works his
faith out, by putting his life on the line
what was dirk thinking? it was christ on his mind
what was dirk drinking? a special kind of wine
instrumental for the mental giving sight to the blind
the living light, that shines bright, like the sunshine
man if i could just sum this up in just one rhyme
but anyway, let’s get back to dirk williams
a christian imprisoned for the faith that he was living
facing persecution this man was willing
to extend a helping hand to the man pursuing him
to do him in, so those rulers can ruin him
cause he was an anabaptist who was walking in unison
with the person of christ, immersed in his life
obeying the sermon is what turned him to a furnace of light
those merciless magistrates full of malice and hate
murdered this servant dirk by burning him at the stake
a lingering death, he suffered at a slow pace
his faith was steadfast, his soul was shown grace
in the hands of god, he commended his whole fate
a showcase of this faith is what makes this story great
but the object of the faith, makes this story greater
so all praise and honor goes to the creator

all praise, all glory to the prince of peace
all these stories are testimonies of what peace can reach
without his fingerprints in each, each story wouldn’t teach
such remarkable faith in the face of evil beasts
historically, history is his story
god gets all the glory, you should just ignore me
and strictly get in awe with this sovereign god
who’s calling, all of y’all to have you all involved
in his purpose and plan for this revolving ball
you should worship this lamb, he’s such a flawless god
take a permanent stand, you won’t fall real hard
take it personal and, take the gospel far

let’s continue with this next verse, let us converse
with the past, let us grasp what we can learn from these excerpts
historical records are not just for the experts
they’re there for those who want to learn without lectures
now let’s search scriptures, let us remember
that we’re members of the urban church
serving like the servant dirk
thermostats on the map, instead of thermometers
regulating its temperature instead of changed by her commoners
i’m kind of irked by the lack of servanthood
we need to practice what we say and not just word it good
we should be working the hood
like my man tom skinner
who was a gangsta but thanksta christ
tom was made a winner
he went from the harlem lords to the sovereign lord
tom skinner was a peacemaker stopping war
stop and pause, let’s think about some other martyrs
sons and daughters who were slaughtered like lambs on an altar
we ought to be salt and light walking with christ
we need to act accordingly and not just talk real nice
be like, margaretha and michael, true disciples
brutally executed by self-righteous psychos
michael’s tongue, was sliced off, it wasn’t nice y’all
parts of his body was twice torn by hot tongs
and what about his wife? this woman was not soft
she was later bound and tossed in a river and what for?
for believing in jesus for obeying his teachings
for seeking to please him? those were the reasons
even if they were heathens, is this how we treat them?
or do we lead them to jesus by repeating ephesians
six ten through seventeen, by any means
put on the armor of god and give praise to elohim

in conclusion, let us all turn our attention
to innumerous amounts of men and women unmentioned
to the many heat takers, and the many peace makers
to those who took heed at being jesus immitators
like … ethiopian heros
two leaders of a church known as the meserete kristos
meaning christ the foundation, christ the solid rock
the socket that connects us to the power of god
he’s the potter, you’re not, every hour you got
is in the total control, keeping your mindset locked
reproducing menno simons’ even out of hip-hop
as the clock goes tick-tock, god is never gonna stop
giving us, lots of guts, like felix manz and hans hut
life minus christ sucks, there’s no success
without jesus, life is just a bunch of meaningless
like a sniper aiming at nothing and always hitting it
are you getting it? if not then peep elizabeth dirks
just listen to her, story and get with this worth
as in heaven, do the father’s will on this earth
give him reverence, thank him for the spiritual rebirth
