With Christ Staying

Based off Hebrews 12:1-17

Hear ye, hear ye, Christians listen,

Hear the words of God and hasten

To obey Him, follow His ways,

Here and now and throughout your days.

Lay aside the sins which tangle,

Which, your faith, they surely strangle,

And then run with perseverance

The race God has set before us.

Fix your eyes on Jesus, Savior,

Of our faith, He is perfecter.

Follow Him where’re He leads you,

And now eat what Jesus feeds you.

With regard to sin’s temptations,

Don’t reject the Lord’s disciplines.

Discipline of God for our good.

Holiness of God understood.

Deeds of flesh and knees that feeble

Must be brought to Jesus’ table,

At His altar sacrifice them,

Put to death and not live in them.

Follow straight and narrow way to

Life with Jesus, surrender to

Follow Him in ways that are true,

Life with Jesus daily renew.

Sanctifying, not denying,

Holiness, not outright lying,

God obeying, not sin playing,

Life eternal with Christ staying.
