I Am N

I once read a short story about using the letter "N" to represent deep belief and devotion, as well as a statement declaring to follow the "Nazarene" the Christ.

Desert sand gets whipped across my face

A gash from a knife across my cheek

So I turn to the other, patience and faith

I know the end is mocking me, but I am flattered

Most people run from the repercussions of this life

But to die is Christ

I am N

And I will not fear death,

To be absent in the body is to be present with Him

I welcome the thought

To defy the norms, will lead to my demise,

I pray for my family to have peace

Now I am being live streamed, for my family to see

For the nations overseas,

My faith is to be served as a warning, they will not hesitate

Father forgive them, should they know not what they do,

Tatted with the letter, N

Marked for death, a follower of the Nazarene

I see the blood of the Lamb, the Great I Am

My Christ, King of kings

I regret nothing,

Let this be a moment of peace,

Give my family the Psalms they need

Like an uncut,

I see green pastures,

When asked to renounce my faith, I responded

I. Am. N.
