He would not deny his Savior.... will you?

A notable Somali pastor wrote this song many years ago while suffering in prison. Though it may lose a bit of its flow in the translation to English, it still touches the heart. It speaks of the dedication he, as well as many Somali Christians today, had to serving Christ at all costs.



I will not miss the promise of the everlasting God, the creator of the world

On the mountains, if I stay a month, and the freezing winds hit me, I will not deny my Savior.

Hundreds of years if I stay on the plains have no farm, livestock and wife I will not deny my Savior.

If I am being slaughtered, thrown into the sea or beaten by club, I will not deny my Savior. .

If I am hungry and have no money, I will not deny my Savior.

I am sick, my chest is paining, and He will take care of me and heal me, I will not deny my Savior.
