Analysis of Standing Firm
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
The coming of the lawless one,
After the working of Satan;
With power and signs had begun,
The earth begins to be shaken.
Wicked deception will perish,
Who have refused to love the truth;
Because of lusts that they cherish,
Being arrogant and uncouth.
God sends them a strong delusion,
What is false that they may believe;
Because the Satan's collusion,
For a pact that they did receive.
So they may all have been condemned,
For pleasure in unrighteousness;
The probability had stemmed,
From actions of their foolishness.
We should always give thanks to God,
For God chose you as the first fruits;
Belief in truth to honor and laud,
And standing strong having firm roots.
He has called you through the Gospel,
To obtain glory in our Lord;
And spread the Word to the people,
Showing He is loved and adored.
Stand firm and hold to traditions,
As spoken and how you were taught;
Through your motives and ambitions,
Written in the Word that you sought.
