“Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.” Hebrews 13:3

So, this bring us to the end of our Depravity, Grace, and Reckless Abandon memory lane. One song that is usually overlooked on this project is this one: number 10. Many get to the end of the song and turn it off, not realizing that I did the trendy (at the time) practice of sticking a ‘hidden’ track on there. This song came out of a season of intercession for the persecuted church. The cover has a door with a backpack by it. This song sort of pulls everything together. The hidden track is a portion of a sermon that an acquaintance of mine (who was a representative for Voice of the Martyrs) shared at Grace Church in Show Low, AZ. I hope you enjoyed this process 🙂

Make Us One
by Joel Bidderman

As they store treasures that will outshine the sun
These flowers are snatched from their place
As their beauty is crushed and blown away
Lift their fragrance to the wind as we pray…

Chorus 1:
Father make us one
With our brothers and sisters who suffer for Your Son
As they hold high the Cross
Let us not forget their chains, Oh Father
Make us one

As they patiently bear so much pain
While from their lips flows their Savior’s name
A seed is planted as broken wings fly
On a news that’s too good to die…

Chorus 2:
Father make us one
With our brothers and sisters who suffer for Your Son
As we hold high the cross
Let us not forget their chains, Oh Father
Make us one
