Wake up! There are christians being slaughtered in the east! Women are abused and raped and sold into slavery They are abducted, tortured and forced to convert to lies They're stolen from their homes but do we hear their cries?! Tell me! Under the scimitar is a heavy price to pay But the lord paid a steeper cost when he willingly went to the grave And now I will gladly die so I can boldly say I will never deny my God through Jesus Christ I am saved! Under the scimitar We pray For deliverance The egyptian christians being martyred in the east Their churches are in flames and burned by the enemy They are abducted, tortured and put to the blade by lies They're stolen from their homes but do we hear their cries?! Tell me! Under the scimitar is a heavy price to pay But the lord paid a steeper cost when he willingly went to the grave And now I will gladly die so I can boldly say I will never deny my God through Jesus Christ I am saved! Under the scimitar is a heavy price to pay But the lord paid a steeper cost when he willingly went to the grave And now I will gladly die so I can boldly say I will never deny my God through Jesus Christ I am saved!
