unless I’m convinced by the Scripture and plain reason
I don’t accept the authority of the popes and councils,
the antichrist of Rome
our feelings can come and go
our heart devotions are deceiving
but my warrant is the Word of God
naught else is worth believing
though my heart should feel condemned
for want of some sweet token
there is One greater than my heart
whose Word cannot be broken
I’ll trust in God’s unchanging Word
til my soul and body sever
for though all things shall pass away
but His Word shall stand forever
“I call God to witness that all I have written and preached
has been to rescue souls from sin. There can be no turning back.
My Lord walked the path of Truth and duty, even though it took Him to Calvary.
To witness to God’s truth is more important than life. Joyfully then will I
confirm with my blood all the writings and preachings of truths that I’ve held”
Jan Hus
fiercely attacked by the papal sword
but they didn’t risk their lives in vain
when the wordly might mattered more than God’s Word
the church started to sharpen its blood-thirsty blade
Waldo, Arnaldo, Savonarola,
Hus and Tyndale perished in flames
the acts of devil in the inquisition
murdered thousands who opposed the Roman blade
they fought the tyranny of Rome
fought the deceiver, the indulgence trade
let the truth be told!
but the embers of the reform couldn’t be tamed
sola scriptura: autoritas
nihil potest mutare
(Scripture alone: authority,
nothing can change it)
and the ones who died for the Scripture
fought against the desecration of Christ
as the church robbed its way to get richer
built its castles for the honor of its own might
not of our own works but the grace
not the traditions or dead religious ways
adding works to salvation is mockery
of the cross-work that happened once on the hill of Calvary
