Persuaded to Persist

"Hold Thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto Thy statutes continually" (Psalm 119:117). "Many... followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God" (Acts 13:43).

Continue in the grace of God,
For this is where your safety is.
He guides us with His staff and rod,
And watches over each of His.

In His grace we follow on,
While opportunities exist.
Before the light of day is gone,
We are persuaded to persist.

Turning neither left nor right,
Persisting in His perfect will,
We shall walk within His light
And by His grace continue still.

Hold us up, Lord, in Your grace
To set our hearts on things above,
As we delight to seek Your face,
Persisting in Your faithful love.
