Worthy to Suffer for the Name

INTRO (choir hum, soft djembe) VERSE 1 Holy is the Lord among His people, No one plays with fire from His throne; Truth is not a coin to keep in secret, For the Spirit sees and knows His own. Great fear came upon the gathered church, And signs and wonders filled the street; The sick were laid where Peter's shadow fell, And healing ran to every one they'd meet. VERSE 2 Jealous rulers threw them into prison, Locked the doors and set the guards to stay; But an angel came and opened every gate: "Go and speak the words of life today." In the morning there they stood, still preaching, At the temple where the people meet; "We must obey our God rather than men, For Jesus reigns, the Prince at God's right seat." CHORUS Worthy, worthy, counted worthy To suffer shame for His name; Rejoicing, rejoicing, We go out to preach the same. Every day, in every house, We will not stop proclaiming: Jesus is the Christ! BRIDGE (solo tenor, choir answers) If this plan is born of men, (it will fall) If this work is born of God, (it will stand) You cannot overthrow it, You would fight against His hand. CHORUS OUTRO (a cappella) Jesus is the Christ.
