To Him That Overcometh Poem

To Him That Overcometh

There are wondrous rewards that the Bible has promised,
There are precious crowns that are waiting to be won -
But all the blessings that the Lord has offered,
Are for those who are trusting by faith in God's Son.

There's a world system that is risen up against us,
Controlled by that wicked spirit, Satan, that hates our Lord;
There's a spiritual battle for our souls that is raging -
But to give in to defeat or compromise we can't afford.

To be an overcomer means you trust the Saviour that has died;
Upon your account of sin, His precious blood has been applied;
When you place your faith in Jesus Christ and His death on Calvary,
His Spirit dwells within your heart, and you've been given life eternally.

To him that overcometh this world, Jesus will give to eat of the tree of Life;
He will also give him the hidden manna, and peace in the midst of strife;
There are crowns for the faithful - rewards for those who love His return,
And His Word and His Holy Spirit will give you wisdom to discern.

There will be a pillar made for each of you within the very temple of your Lord;
A new city, and new names, with a Heavenly inheritance reserved in store;
Dwelling in the presence of the Morning Star, worshipping, your soul awed;
Clothed in white raiment, the overcomers will rule and reign with the Son of God.

So resist the evil of this world, stand fast even to your dying breath;
According to God's promises, you will not be hurt by the second death;
He will never remove your name from the dear Lamb's Book of Life -
Claim your victory by faith in Him, and live for the Lord Jesus Christ.
