Beautiful song - thanks for posting.
During church Sunday, one of the hymns was “Lift High the Cross”:
“Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim
Till all the world adore his sacred name.”

Charlie was ‘lifting high the cross’ and martyred for it, among other things. I cried the entire hymn, couldn’t sing.
For Charlie:
Matthew 5: 10-12
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Oh I love the hymn “ Lift High the Cross!!!
