Hebrews 10:35-39 (KJV)

35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

Hebrews 6:1-6 (KJV)

1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 And this will we do, if God permit. 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-2 (KJV)

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

Matthew 24:12-13 (KJV)

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

O Church Arise (Arise, Shine)

O Church, arise, and put your armour on

Hear the call of Christ our Captain

For now the weak, can say that they are strong

In the strength that God has given

With shield of faith and belt of truth

We'll stand against the devil's lies

An army bold, whose battle cry is love

Reaching out to those in darkness

Our call to war, to love the captive soul

But to range against the captor

And with the sword, that makes the wounded whole

We will fight with faith and valour

When faced with trials on every side

We know the outcome is secure

And Christ will have, the prize for which He died

An inheritance of nations

Chorus:

Arise, shine for your light has come

Arise, shine for the Risen Son

Lift your eyes, we are His radiant bride

Arise, o Church arise!

Come see The Cross, where love and mercy meet

As the Son of God is stricken

Then see His foes, lie crushed beneath His feet

For The Conqueror has risen!

And as the stone is rolled away

And Christ emerges from the grave

This victory march, continues till the day

Ev'ry eye and heart shall see Him

So Spirit come, put strength in every stride

Give grace for every hurdle

That we may run, with faith to win the prize

Of a servant good and faithful

As saints of old, still line the way

Retelling triumphs of His grace

We hear their calls, and hunger for the day

When with Christ we stand in Glory.

Chorus:

Arise, shine for your light has come

Arise, shine for the Risen Son

Lift your eyes, we are His radiant bride

Arise, o Church arise!
