I have this request to make,
For our Lord Jesus Christ;
Do not ever try to forsake,
Reasons He was sacrificed.
Do not anger right away,
Alarmed when anyone claims;
That a spirit came to say,
We live in a life that shames.
Believe not if they have said,
Christ has already returned;
As the lies that they have fed,
For the time no one has learned.
Let not anyone deceive,
About this in any way;
Only the faith you believe,
Keeps you from going astray.
That day cannot come too soon,
When destruction is revealed;
As sin causes a blood moon,
The book of life is unsealed.
He opposes so-called Gods,
Anything that is worshipped;
Exposing them all as frauds,
The saints must be well=equipped.
Because the growth of a saint,
Is the work of a lifetime;
Do not be weary or faint,
Or give in to any crime.
You already know what holds
An individual back;
And while their life unfolds,
Give someone what they may lack.
The mystery of all sin,
The secrets that have been sealed,
Repenting will soon begin,
Through confession be revealed.
