I must thank God for you,
Since your faith flourishes;
Your love held is so true,
That your faith nourishes.
I boast about the church,
Of faith and endurance;
In the times that we search,
The Word for assurance.
Afflictions to endure,
From the persecutions;
Attempting to keep pure,
To look for solutions.
Solutions to make clear,
Of a righteous judgment;
As worthy and sincere,
Of godly assessment.
It is righteous for God,
Repay who afflicted;
For no honor and laud,
And they are convicted.
Because your afflictions,
You deserve to have rest;
From all the convictions,
That you hold in your quest.
All of this will take place,
In Divine revelation;
The Lord will give you grace,
In the tribulation.
As to when Christ returns,
With vengeance of fire;
And everyone learns,
Their fate for desire.
For they will pay the price,
Eternal destruction;
From their wants that entice,
Immoral seduction.
The day that Christ arrives,
Glorified by His saints;
Someone righteous survives,
Others within restraints.
So, we must always pray,
That God will consider;
That you always obey,
When He does come hither.
