Not to all the seven churches
Did the Lord speak in this way;
To the church in Philadelphia
Did He choose these words to say.

Church so full of brotherly love,
You’re the church to bring the Bridegroom
Back to earth from heav’n above.

He that shuts and opens too,
Knows thy works, O Philadelphia;
That’s why you’re His Bride so true.

By His Word you’re overcoming—
How the Amen does resound!
Just hold fast to what you’ve gotten,
That no man may take your crown.

You have kept His Word of patience;
He will keep you from that hour
Which upon the whole world cometh
When the Lord comes in His power.

By His word you are overcoming - how the Amen does resound! Just hold fast what you've gotten; that no man may take your crown!

Beautiful, encouraging words in an easy to learn tune. Tremendously powerful, especially since it is so true that Jesus is going to "keep us from the hour of temptation", as long as we "hold fast to which thou hast, that no man take thy crown." I have been given six warnings in 2012 alone that Jesus will rapture us, His Church, very, very soon. (and I know I am not the only person within the Body of Christ who is being warned!) This event draws closer and closer to us with each passing day. May we each be willing to do the work the Lord has called and ordained us to do before this moment arrives, and may we-each of us, hold fast to our reward. Maranatha; Come, Lord Jesus!
