Hourglass from Zoetic (EP) by Zoetic
I (Kierstyn) wrote this track because I have heard countless stories of Christians in third world countries being tortured and killed while I am scared to even share the love of Christ with my friends and family in America. My comforts have made me complacent, and so I wanted this song to be a reminder of what Jesus has called all of us to do, regardless of who we are or where we live.

Lyrics
Worlds away the message spreads aflame
The persecution only strengthens Jesus’ name
Hunted, they share, hoping to save a few
Staring at death their last breath expels the truth
They've got eternity to cling to
Please be brave
And just tell me who we serve
While they prepare unafraid
To lay down their whole life
For the God they know will take them home
I’m afraid to share the truth while I have everything
I could speak refining fire but I'm not good at evangelizing
What if I offend someone; I let the idea pass
The doubting stain on both my eyes blocks out their hourglass
Anxious, I cling to comforts I’ve always known
All of my idols struggle before Your throne
Reveal my heart of stone
Please be brave
And just tell me who we serve
While they prepare unafraid
To lay down their whole life
For the God they know will take them home
Take a breath
Speak ‘til the tables turn
And just don’t let me pretend
That the safety we have
Is a reason to not be brave
