“Martyr for truth” is the first thing I thought when I saw he had died. Love the last lines of this poem. Soli Deo Gloria, Amen

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for this! I wrote a poem on the same subject,by the ultimate muse of the Holy Ghost, yesterday. I'll post it on Monday. It seems God is working through both of us.

Thanks again

2x "spoke", 2x "not silenced", 3x "praise". You capture silence so well, but here you captured augmenting sound. Which is perfect. Thank you.
