With perseverance in place, difficulties, failures, and opposition won’t hinder.

No longer bound by failure and insecurity we continually press forward.
Persevering under all pressure, His Spirit reigns in all liberality for gain.
Looking to Him alone in all godliness, we rise above all that defames.
With pure devotion, He sees those who are given wholly to His purposes.
Hearts purely devoted to His purposes, He embraces with His Sovereignty.
Given to His sovereign purposes with pure devotion, we sing His praises.
Fruitful in all that pertains to godliness, His gifts spill forth in abundance.
Looking to Him for brotherly kindness, our fruitfulness extends to all.
Compassionate and unselfish toward others, we rise in brotherly kindness.
Generous to all who come our way, our generosity extends His blessings.
