Jude-Hold the Line

Contend for faith, the truth was given, 
Guard your hearts, stand firm, and pray. 
Wolves in secret seek division, 
God will judge them on that day.

Chorus: 

Heel yo ho, saints, hold the line, saints, 

Stand in faith, and don't give way. 

Heel yo ho, saints, lift your eyes, saints, 

God will guide you all the way.

Once they walked in ways of mercy, 

Now they twist the grace of God. 

Turn from greed and empty promises, 

Flee the path that sinners trod.

Like the angels lost in darkness, 

Chained in gloom for their offense, 

So will God condemn the wicked, 

Bringing forth His recompense.

Yet to those who keep His promise, 

Mercy, love, and peace abound. 

Lift your voices in His glory, 

Let His praise in you resound!

Now to Him who guards and keeps you, 

Faultless, standing in His light. 

Give all glory, power, dominion, 

Majesty, both day and night!
