Suffering Power
Jealousy is truly a terrible thing
For this caused the death of the King of all kings
And led the high priest and all of his men
To place the Apostles in the prison pen
Now angels do not fear any lock
As they came and freed the men in the stock
And sent them back to Solomon’s temple
To preach the good news to all the people
The rulers sought them back in the jail
The doors were locked, the guards all hale
But not one apostle could they find
And this sure upset their peace of mind
Then someone saw them preaching still
Right back there on temple hill
A second time the guards were sent
To make arrest the priest had meant
When apostles charged with disarray
The high priest thought he had all say
But he was soon to be proven wrong
For the disciples danced to God’s own song
A beating for the bad boys banished
Also from preaching mound were vanished
But they considered it naught but joy
To suffer for the true salvation boy.
William Alexander Smith
