[verse]

Write this letter

to the angel of the church

in Philadelphia.

This is the message

from the one

who is holy and true,

the one who has

the key of David.

What he opens,

no one can close;

and what he closes,

no one can open:

[chorus]

Because you have obeyed

my command to persevere,

I will protect you

from the great time of testing

that will come

upon the whole world

to test those

who belong to this world.

[verse]

“I know all the things you do,

and I have opened a door for you

that no one can close.

You have little strength,

yet you obeyed my word

and did not deny me.

[chorus]

Because you have obeyed

my command to persevere,

I will protect you

from the great time of testing

that will come

upon the whole world

to test those

who belong to this world..

[verse]

Look, I will force those

who belong to Satan’s synagogue

—those liars who say they are Jews

but are not—

to come and bow down at your feet.

They will acknowledge

that you are the ones I love.

[chorus]

Because you have obeyed

my command to persevere,

I will protect you

from the great time of testing

that will come

upon the whole world

to test those

who belong to this world.

I am coming soon!

I am coming soon!

I am coming soon!

[verse]

Hold on to what you have,

so that no one

will take away your crown.

All who are victorious

will become pillars

in the Temple of my God,

and they will never have to leave it.

[chorus]

Because you have obeyed

my command to persevere,

I will protect you

from the great time of testing

that will come

upon the whole world

to test those

who belong to this world.

[verse]

And I will write on them

the name of my God,

and they will be citizens

in the city of my God

—the new Jerusalem

that comes down from heaven

from my God.

And I will also write on them

my new name.

[chorus]

Because you have obeyed

my command to persevere,

I will protect you

from the great time of testing

“Anyone with ears to hear

must listen to the Spirit

and understand what he is saying

to the churches.

I am coming soon!

I am coming soon!

I am coming soon!
