IT'S THE LAST DAYS, NEVERTHELESS

Take heed that no one deceives you, deceiving and being deceived, 
false christs there will be many, saying that they are of Me. 
There will be wars and rumors of wars, famines and disease, 
earthquakes in various places, sorrows' beginnings are these. 
See that you are not troubled, for these things must come to pass. 
Nevertheless, the end is not here and this day is not the last. 

For this gospel of the Kingdom, will be preached in all the earth, 
only then will come the ending, in the meantime there will be dearth. 
Now is when many will be offended, believers, many will hate, 
as Christians we may be arrested - like Jesus - we may be betrayed. 
In this world we will have tribulation, while in Christ we may have peace. 
Nevertheless, He said, "Cheer up! I have the victory" 

Perilous times, they are a' comin', when men will be lovers of self, 
boastful proud and greedy for money, rebels hell-bound for hell. 
Unthankful and unholy, unloving, forgiving they don't, 
headstrong traitors and haughty, submitting to God they won't. 
Both evil and imposters are growing worse and worse. 
Nevertheless, our redemption's getting close. 

The devil is like a lion, seeking whom he may devour. 
Resist him, steadfast and faithful, not leaning on your human power. 
Submit yourself to God and satan will flee from you. 
Keep your life free of evil and your feet can crush him too. 
Know our battles are not yet over and our story has not reached its end. 
Nevertheless, I know we are all going to win! 


"And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart."
