• Description Inspired by a poem written in prison by Dr. Kao, the general secretary of the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan: The burning bush it burns it burns in fiercest flame, Yet it is not devoured, but firmly stands the same, The fire does not depart yet still new shoots outsurge The kindling flames will start and blossoms fair emerge. E'en in the fiery flame Christ's Church can prosper still His Holy Spirit burnish Those who seek His will With courage then we strive to be Christ's servants true, And as our pain fills up So faith is deepened too. In persecution's urns Christ's own their courage keep The burning bush still burns and we are still His sheep The burning bush it burns, it burns in fiercest flame, Yet it is not devoured, but firmly stands the same.
