Bartholomew was flayed for the sake of Jesus' name
His body torn limb from limb skin from bone
Beaten senseless for what he Believed in
His name lives on through our great commission
He traveled far to reach the unreached
The most barbarous country of the east
Unbelievers gathered for the brutal sacrifice
Enduring the agonizing torture his skin was stripped and pulled
Open sores bleeding profusely as He suffers for the kingdom
His blood poured out before his eyes as the life drained from his vessel
As he breathed his last breath
He prepared to lose his head
Decapitated
For the glory of heaven
Bones Crushed
Nerves Severed
At the core
Open sores bleeding profusely as He suffers for the sake of the kingdom
His blood poured out before his very eyes as the life drained from his earthly vessel
Decapitated
For the glory of heaven
