Verse 1 Simon Peter wrote a letter from a prison cell, Knowing soon he'd hear those heaven bells. He said, "Grace and peace, let your faith increase, Don't drift away from the truth you've received." Build on faith with virtue, knowledge and self-control, Persevere through trials, let God's Spirit lead your soul. Brotherly affection, love that never ends, These are the marks of Christ in faithful men. Pre-Chorus I wasn't chasing cleverly invented tales, I saw His glory shining on that holy hill. Chorus Stand firm, don't be shaken, Hold fast to the promises God has spoken. The world may mock and the darkness roar, But Jesus is coming like He said before. A thousand years are like a day to the Lord above, He's patient, giving sinners time to know His love. So stand firm, keep your eyes on Him, Until the King comes back again. Verse 2 False teachers whisper what itching ears want to hear, Selling lies for profit, feeding doubt and fear. But judgment's not forgotten, though it may seem slow, The God who judged the flood still rules below. They follow every passion, they mock what's pure and true, But Peter warned the church what these deceivers do. Like springs without water, clouds driven by the wind, They promise freedom while they're slaves to sin. Pre-Chorus So remember what the prophets said before, And the words of Christ our risen Lord. Chorus Stand firm, don't be shaken, Hold fast to the promises God has spoken. The world may mock and the darkness roar, But Jesus is coming like He said before. A thousand years are like a day to the Lord above, He's patient, giving sinners time to know His love. So stand firm, keep your eyes on Him, Until the King comes back again. Bridge The heavens will pass with a mighty roar, The earth laid bare before the Lord. So what kind of people ought we to be? Holy and godly while we wait expectantly. New heavens, new earth, righteousness will reign, Every tear redeemed, every scar made changed. Until that day we'll lift His name, Growing in His grace. Final Chorus Stand firm, don't be shaken, Hold fast to the promises God has spoken. Grow in grace and knowledge every day, Let His Word light up your way. The Lord is faithful, every promise true, He's coming back for me and you. So stand firm, keep your eyes on Him, Until the King comes back again. Outro Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord, To Him be glory forevermore. Amen... Amen.
