Be strong, be wise

Verse 1: Oh, children of the Kingdom, the days are drawing near, When faith will be our currency, and trust will conquer fear. No longer can we buy or sell, the world will close its door, But in the arms of Jesus, we’ll find our treasure more. Chorus: Be strong, be wise, for the time will come, When the cross we bear leads us to the Son. Not slaves to wealth, nor earthly gain, In Christ alone, we’ll find our gain. Verse 2: Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow where He leads, For in His path of sacrifice, our souls will find their needs. The riches of this fleeting world can never satisfy, But in His love and mercy, our hearts will glorify. Chorus: Be strong, be wise, for the time will come, When the cross we bear leads us to the Son. Not slaves to wealth, nor earthly gain, In Christ alone, we’ll find our gain. Bridge: Let not the gold and silver bind our hearts and minds, For treasures in His Kingdom are the only kind. Seek first His righteousness, His kingdom and His grace, And all these things will follow, as we behold His face. Verse 3: So stand with courage, children, the battle will be fierce, But in His strength, we conquer, and in His truth, we pierce. The darkness of this passing world with light of Heaven’s flame, And with our eyes on Jesus, we’ll never be the same. Chorus: Be strong, be wise, for the time will come, When the cross we bear leads us to the Son. Not slaves to wealth, nor earthly gain, In Christ alone, we’ll find our gain. Outro: So rise, oh saints, with hearts of gold, In Jesus' name, be strong and bold. For in His love, we’ll find our way, Until we see that glorious day.
