Philadelphia: The Weak Warriors
Revelation 3:7-13 Here You stand: eternal Conqueror, Holy, true, key to David’s power. What You open, none can close; What You shut, no opening knows. Here I kneel: strength of small measure, Holding to Your Word my treasure. Let ne’er my words or deeds deny The steadfast One Who for me died. In love You call a weak warrior, Saying, “Look, here is an open door!” Where is it? Right in front of me.* What is it? Christlike influence opportunity. I don’t know every open door yet to be; Help me walk through the one that I can see. Your hand holds mine, as I echo the song,** “They are weak, but He is strong.” *In verse 8, the word “before” literally means “in sight of” (Greek, enopios ). **Line 4 of stanza 1, “Jesus Loves Me,” by Anna Warner.
