Lethargy that Lulls

"I know thy works... and the last to be more than the first.... That which ye have already, hold fast till I come" (Revelation 2:19,25).

The enemy is still at war
Who seeks spoil some.
Hold fast, advancing more and more
Till Christ our Lord shall come.

Salvation had cannot be lost,
But we can lose its joy.
Our testimony is the cost,
Which Satan would destroy.

The Devil never takes vacation,
So neither then should we!
Put on the helmet of salvation,
Proclaiming liberty!

The Devil knows his time is short,
And so he rages still.
It's not a game. This isn't sport;
He comes that he may kill.

Whatever we have now, hold fast!
With grace we cannot fail!
For Christ will build His Church at last,
And hell shall not prevail!

There isn't time for us to pause
With lethargy that lulls;
Lord, help us to advance Your cause:
To rescue precious souls!
