Lyrics

In the city of Adana during the darkest days of the Ottoman Empire, there began a tragedy that marked the start of what was to become known as the Armenian Genocide. The people of Armenia were forced into starvation, torture and extermination. Armenian homes were burned to the ground as women were raped and tortured, children were bought and sold and men were killed before their very eyes. Sometimes entire families were wiped out. They were accused, convicted and sentenced to die because they dared to call themselves "Christians", their crime was in believing in Jesus Christ who died for their sins.

In 1915 1.5 million Armenians were ruthlessly slaughtered, because they would not renounce their faith in Christ. Unpunished and undeterred the ones responsible for the massacre in Adana set stage for the terrible genocide of the Armenian people.

This is their story.

From the morning sun til the day was done

Fathers worked until their strength was gone

In the summer air under mother's care

Children played within the village square

Through the soil and sand, farmers worked the land

Gathering what they grew by their own hand

Living day by day, trying ti make their way

Unaware the price they would soon pay

CHORUS

Keepers of the sword, marched in one accord

Striking down the weak, without a single word

Ruthlessly they came, with one deadly aim

Kill all who believed in Jesus' name.

In the shroud of night, families took their flight

Unprotected by the soldier's might

Hungry and alone, starved to skin and bone

Forced to sleep on pillows made of stone

Wandering in the rain, trembling from the pain

Cries for mercy offered up in vain

Naked and afraid, on their knees they prayed

As they knelt before the warrior's blade... singing

CHORUS

To the great I AM, Worthy is the Lamb

To Him who sits upon the throne we bow before You

Holy is the One, God's Almighty Son

Glory to the Christ, Our risen King.

Though persecuted, they were not abandoned as they laid down their earthly lives, they would gain entirety with Christ. Though the world may forget, God would remember their suffering. Never again would they hunger or thirst. For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, would be their shepherd who would lead them to the springs of living water and God would wipe away every tear for their eyes. They would encircle the throne of God singing to the great I Am, worthy is the Lamp, who and is, and is to come.

CHORUS
