We Copts


We are the Sons of Martyrs

 

We Copts had long suffered

               From Romans, Arabs and the lot

Our faith forever challenged

               Our resolve strengthened, not lost

 

For centuries killing our forefathers

               Destroying our homes and Churches

Nothing stopped our marsh

               Nothing crushed our hearts

 

We prayed in our burned Churches

We lifted high our broken Crosses

To silence our parents they cut their tongues

               Still we praise with our Fathers’ Tongue

 

They tried to wipe our past

               We survived, our past triumphed

They burned our prayer books

               We kept the hymns in our hearts

 

They bomb, they kill, they destroy

               Slaughter our youth and children

We build, we sing and pray

               Our faith lighten our heavy burden

 

My Coptic Church long to live

               Our faith as strong as ever

Our believe drowns our sorrows

               Our Lord is alive among us,

               We are in His Hands.

We pray for you all. The presecution you all are undergoing is horrendous. Your tradition is so long standing from the beginning of the spread of the faith. May God shelter you, give you mercy and help you not harbour any rancor, or lack of His love for your sinning neighbors. To God be the glory and to your martyrs and their families may He give you all consolation and peace and the blessing to continue to love Him. Bess Chaktavarty
