Silent Before My Shearers

.
With a knife held against my throat
or a gun pressed against my brow,
and commands issued to deny
     my Savior's name, or else,
I want to remain silent
     before my shearers
Like Jesus did.
I want to remember He said
     when you stand in a flood,
          I will not let the drowning
               waters wash you away.
I want to remember He said
     when you walk through fire,
          I will not let the smoldering
               flames to turn you to ash.
I want to look upon them in love,
     and with my last breath, forgive,
          for they know not what they do.
