You look alive but you’re faking
Your good works are sore lacking
Worldly compromise you’re making
Sin has stained all your clothing
Jesus warns us, Come and repent
You need an awakening!
Stir the embers and fan the flames
Look to Jesus – come alive
Strengthen what little yet remains
Deep into the gospel dive
Come remember, And live it out
Find life in Jesus again
To the tune of “Lo! He Comes with Clouds Descending”
Jesus your judge now consider, Live for Him fearing your King
Trust Him and patiently endure, Walk in love – humbly serving
Grow in these things, Hold fast to them
That you may hear: “Child, well done”
Do not tolerate false teaching, Guard your life, what you believe
We will one day reign with our King, and the Morning Star receive
Let those with ears, Come now and hear,
What the Spirit says to us
To the tune of “Lo! He Comes with Clouds Descending”
We are tempted to compromise, Follow the world’s wicked way
Listen to the Devil’s sick lies, And so slowly drift away
Hear our Lord’s word, See His sharp sword,
Follow Jesus faithfully
The hidden manna is Jesus, He alone can satisfy
A white stone is given to us, Entrance to the feast on high
And a new name, Known just to us,
Intimate friendship with God
To the tune of “Lo! He Comes with Clouds Descending”
We face tribulation – pressure
We may know some poverty
From the mouths of others – slander
Suffering may come daily
But do not fear, Trust in Jesus
Be faithful to Him each day
In tri-als consider Jesus
First and Last, died now risen
Knows our troubles, He is with us
Gives His riches, works His plan
A crown of life, No second death,
Focus on the joyful goal
To the tune of “Lo! He Comes with Clouds Descending”
Behold our Lord – He is with us, As His church to Him belong
Serving, enduring for Jesus, Living right, in doctrine strong
As we do this, living like this,
Jesus will commend our church
But now this I have against you, You have strayed away from love
From dull hearts turn to love anew, People and your God above
Come remember, Come and repent,
Church arise to love again
If we will not, He may remove, Our Church – may this never be
But to those who conquer in love, Life with Him eternally
Let those with ears, His words now hear,
As the Spirit speaks to us
To the tune of “Lo! He Comes with Clouds Descending”
We are brothers, we are sisters, In the Kingdom of our King
Often together we suffer, In our Lord’s strength enduring
Look to Jesus, Look to Jesus,
In Him patiently endure
Our glorious Ascended Lord, Reigns with pow-er, purity
Fully God forever adored, Full of splendor and glory
Live with courage, Remain faithful,
Fall in awe before Your King
The first and the last is Jesus, Living One forevermore
He gives seven letters to us, Like crashing waves His voice roars
Prepare your heart, Prepare your heart,
To heed the words of your King
To the tune of “Lo! He Comes with Clouds Descending”
Behold Father, Spirit, and Son; Jesus our Faithful Witness
Over the grave He has now won, Reigns as King let all confess
Come for His grace, Come for His peace, Come before our Triune God
Behold our great Savior loves us, By His blood He set us free
A kingdom and priests He made us, He’s coming for all to see
Glory in Him, Submit to Him, Hope in Christ our Coming King
Alpha and Omega is He; Who is, was, and is to come
With all power the Almighty, In Him victory is won
Look to our God, Look to our God, Come to our Almighty King
(To the tune of “Lo! He Comes with Clouds Descending”)
Behold our Lord – He is coming, Walk with hope courageously
Jesus is our triumphant King, Endure for Him faithfully
Come and worship, come and worship
Worship Christ our coming King!
To the tune of “Lo! He Comes With Clouds Descending”
Tell of his amazing pow-er
Behold his authority
Tell of his love ev’ry ho-ur
Proclaim His grace and glory
He healed the sick, made the blind see
Caused all the demons to flee
He stilled the storm, fed the hungry
He touched and cleansed even me
Tell me the story of Jesus,
Write on my heart every word.
Tell me the story most precious,
Sweetest that ever was heard.
(To the tune of “Tell Me the Story Of Jesus” – Chorus by Fanny Crosby)
Consider blind Bartimaeus
As he cries out for mercy
Watch him as he comes to Jesus
And now the blind man can see
In your struggle, sin, and sorrow
With faith to Jesus cry out
Draw near to Him now and follow
With joyful hope – sing and shout
Tell me the story of Jesus
Write on my heart ev’ry word
Tell me the story most precious
That I might live what I’ve heard
(Some words in the chorus by Fanny Crosby,
to the tune of “Tell Me the Story of Jesus”)
