Ephesus
Revelation
2:1-7
1. These are the words of him who holds
the seven
stars in his right hand,
who walks
among the lamps of gold,
the seven lights
upon their stands:
“I know your deeds
and faithfulness.
The wicked
you can’t tolerate,
rejecting all
unrighteousness
and apostolic
counterfeit.
2. “Yet this I have as my complaint:
You have
forsaken your first love.
Repent and
love without restraint,
with godliness
taught from above.
If you refuse
to turn to me
I’ll take
your lampstand from its place.
Lament your
sins and thankfully
receive
forgiveness out of grace.
3. “Let anyone who has an ear
now listen to
the Spirit’s word.
Let all the
church be sure to hear
and pay
attention to her Lord.
To him who
overcomes I’ll give
the blessings
of the tree of life.
In Paradise
he’ll always live
as Victor
over every strife.”
