“Seek Jehovah, all you meek ones!” ― Zephaniah 2:3


Enduring Faith

See With Eyes of Faith

The signs that those with eyes can't see
 Abound throughout the earth.
They're noted in the many wars
 That bring despair to birth.

Diseases scourge the young and old
 As famine walks about.
And men of faith are shown disdain
 By crowds that feed on doubt.

These were foretold to mark our time
 As signs of dreadful days
When brazen men would scorn the truth
 And seek their selfish ways.

They fail to see these lucid signs
 But cling to blatant lies.
They slander God, whom they despise—
 The path to their demise.

Though others may ignore the signs,
 We know God's word is light.
And so we see the prophecies
 With faith, which gives us sight.

So firmly guard your precious faith,
 For he who brought the lie
Will tempt a weakened heart to doubt
 And cause his hope to die.

Exert yourself to reach the prize—
 The day we've longed to see!
And we will live forevermore—
 So joyous we will be!
