Stay Faithful

This age is collapsing
to a swift demise.
No longer will there be suffering,
no more tears or sadness.

To Jehovah, keep on drawing.
Yes indeed, clutch tightly his hand.
In the ways set by our Father
we must ever keep walking—
in the footsteps of his Son.

This will mean life everlasting—
sticking close to God Jehovah
and trusting in his faithful slave.

We will survive and keep on living
as long as we stay faithful.

Well said AP You are very brave using God's name...few know even less want to use it. It is hard to keep faithful but we can do it in God's strength! You a JW? There's 4 or 5 of us on this site.

Thank you for your kind words! I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Truly, God's name Jehovah is a remarkable name that he delights in our using.

Thank you! This is true. It's hard to remain faithful in a world such as what we live in today, isn't it?
