Resonate the Word - Contend for the Faith Lyrics

Beloved ones, hear the call
The faith once given, guard it all
For wolves arise in sheep's disguise
Twisting truth with hollow lies
But we will stand, we will remain
Through trial, storm, and winds of shame
For He who called is strong and true
And He will bring us safely through
Oh, contend for the faith, hold the line
Lift up truth, let mercy shine
Build your life on Christ alone
For He will keep, He will hold
Like Cain they run, like Balaam's greed
They seek their gain, they plant their seed
The waves may crash, the stars may fall
But God's sure Word outlasts them all
Yet mercy speaks, so lift the weak
Snatch the lost from fire's reach
With love and fear, with hands so pure
Show the grace that makes them sure
Oh, contend for the faith, hold the line
Lift up truth, let mercy shine
Build your life on Christ alone
For He will keep, He will hold
The clouds will part, the Lord will rise
With holy ones, with flaming eyes
To judge the proud, to cleanse the land
Yet grace still calls with outstretched hands
Oh, contend for the faith, stand in light
He is coming in power and might
To Him be glory, now always
Forevermore, our voices raise
Now unto Him who keeps us strong
Who holds us firm, who rights our wrongs
Before His throne, with joy we'll stand
Blameless, holy, in His hands
