Christian man, who believed God's word
sharing the message to those in the herd
debating questions with those in the crowd
speaking loud and calm his head not boweda Bible verse for opposing views
telling his gospel as the crowd grew
there were many that hated, the words that he said
filled with disdain of all that he spread
changing minds, a great difference it made
ignoring the threats that would keep him away
drawing bigger throngs of those that would hear
many open minds, but some still jeered
“Challenge the mainstream”. “Protect your rights”
it won't be easy but finish the fight
speak your mind and don't back down
you may be surprised with what could abound
faith, family, freedom to you should belong
if this isn't right then prove me wrong
in a FREEDOM shirt, with one more throng
his voice was silenced for being too strong
those that thought his organization would die
dissipating with him up into the sky
it did not quiet but more like perfected
an assassination had the opposite effect
