HOLD FAST WHAT YOU HAVE

Truly, the way is narrow
Yea the cross is heavy and rugged
There are trials and temptations
Season of tears and perils
How they abound through the gateway to Heaven
Persecution encompasses the truth
Tribulations and distresses,
Who can escape even parents and brethren
Most times fail to understand
Surely we are plagued unjustly
Most time tears like waterfall
Roll down the cheeks
And the world seems to sallow up
In famine and nakedness
Our light of hopeful glimpses
Tends to live unrevealed
And often times discouragement opens wide its arms
Oh, how the scotching sun wearies
The moon and the stars even tend to afflict
Yet, all day long our hearts seek the salvation of those who hate us in Hunger and thirst
And filled with burden and pain within
Yet our hearts cry out
Salvation for the lost in the world, these are what we see
The called out ones, in all the brethren
Let the weak say I am strong
For by and by, it gets closer
Every step forward draws nearer
The day of everlasting separation unto glory
For those who shall hold fast what they have
Hold fast therefore, the gift of salvation because the journey is almost ended
Hold it firmly till he cames
Hold fast the Holiness you have always professed
Hold fast to what is true
The adorned bride of Christ
Hold fast the truth
It shall surely set you free
Hold fast your Integrity, it shall speak of you
Hold fast, for he wouldn’t disappoint you
Surely, there is an end
It is near, it is at hand
He won’t forget your labour of love
Lift up your eyes to the sky and behold the clouds of abundance
The orphans shall again rejoice
Because their father draws near
The widows shall be comforted
The oasis in the wilderness shall be filled again
Dearly beloved can’t you feel it
Your father draws near, hold on to him
Fix your hands to the plough
Set it firmer than ever
Do not look back, because it won’t be long
Surely, thy salvation is nearer than when you first believed
Hold on just a little more
He won’t fail you
Hold onto him for he lives forever
