Remain Faithful

Our God gave us a Spirit of power;

Not a timid one that we should cower.

It is a Spirit of self-discipline and love;

This Spirit is a gift from God above.


Do not be ashamed of your service;

But in the witnessing remain tireless.

In this world we will face trials and strife.

But He saved us and called us to a holy life.


The Most High has called us to this place;

Not by our merit but solely by His grace.

It is only by His power that we can stand,

And proclaim the gospel as He commands.


Abundant is the good that God bestows;

To those who love Him, blessings will flow.

The Lord of all creation is faithful and true;

And He has promised His endless love to you.
