Inspired by Jude 3

Beloved, rise with fervent zeal,
To guard the faith, the truth we feel.
Jude calls us, steadfast, to contend,
For sacred trust that knows no end.

Once delivered to the saints of old,
A treasure pure, more precious than gold.
With hearts ablaze, we stand our ground,
In Christ’s own truth, forever found.

Though shadows creep with subtle lies,
And doubters scorn beneath the skies,
We’ll hold the Word, unyielding, sure,
Its light eternal shall endure.

Contend, O soul, with love and might,
Proclaim the gospel’s holy light.
For faith entrusted, we’ll defend,
Till Christ returns, our hope, our end.
