Why are Christians on the run?

Why are Christians on the run?
Why do these people have no fun?

Meet, eat and retreat,
They've all become used to defeat.

A slow retreat is called a victory,
But these folks won't be writing history.

Could it be they've lost the goal?
They cannot see a nation made whole?

Their prophets tell them they can't win.
The world will be ruled by a Man of Sin.

How do they know the time and place,
When it's right to quit the race?

Where is the faith of Abraham's Seed,
Long in vision and strong in deed?

Rise up, dry bones, in Truth and Spirit,
Blow a trumpet -- let the world hear it!

Christ alone will be the King,
Only in Him can freedom ring.

Before His throne all nations will bow.
Follow Him -- He'll show you how.

all those Christians who are really, really trying
to let Christ's light shine through them.]
