Steadfast In the Faith Midst Sign of the Times
Steadfast in the faith you should be constantly
Invest well in God’s kingdom-business faithfully
Gird yourself for the Lord’s soon coming earnestly
Now and onward, live for Him victoriously!
Occurrences as signs of times* are sure warnings
Falsehood attacks; thus, discern real meanings…
Tribulations’ distresses are sad happenings
Hardships’ trials must be cause for trust-refinings
Expect wars to triumph only by Christ’s winnings!
To prepare; be ready always should be your goal
Ignorance, you must vanquish; fight fears of your soul
Mount upward; ascend toward fruitful service-pole
Entrust your life to God Who knows your best and whole
Seek to help; fulfill your blessed steward**-role!
*Matthew 16:3 ...O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
**1Peter 4:10 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
