Uphold Our Spiritual Fervor

Uphold our spiritual fervor, 
Unceasingly serving the Lord; 
Even if it takes some sacrifices, 
Gladly would we obey His word.

These days are in peril, we know, 
Learn to choose right from wrong; 
Though we are weak and lame, 
God shall make us brave and strong.

This world is shadowed by dark, 
As men are blinded by lies; 
Proclaim the shining truth
To let them all open their eyes.

Let not the works of flesh
Prevail over our mind and heart; 
While there's a chance, renew our life
So our hope and love won't fall apart.

Let's continue edifying our faith, 
Let it not waver or wane, 
Must we all not be halted
By neither sorrow nor great pain.

Don't delay and never stop; 
Run fast to the finish line; 
Swerve not or don't wiggle
To take the prize so divine.

As the day of salvation is soon to come, 
Intensify our holy endeavor, 
Keep on going till we breathe our last, 
Uphold our spiritual fervor.
