True Saints Revealed
Image: In the heart of the city, a faithful believer stands glowing with the light of truth, clutching the Holy Bible as shouts and accusations rage around him. Angels stand at his side — silent guardians of a soul tested by fire. The crowd mocks, signs raised in scorn, calling light darkness and truth hate. Yet the saint does not flinch. He walks in obedience, not opinion. He keeps the commandments and the faith of Jesus, even as the world calls him a fool. In this moment, the true saints are revealed.
Verse 1
Not by fame, not by creed,Not by wealth or selfish need.
The saints aren't crowned with earthly pride,
But walk in love, where truth abides.
Not by claim or loud decree —
But by obedience, faithfully.
Pre-Chorus
You say you know Him — then obey,For lies are loud, but truth will stay.
Chorus
True saints revealed — in fire they shine,Keeping His Word through testing time.
Commandments kept, the faith held fast,
Marked by the Lamb — they'll stand at last.
They walk in love, they walk in light —
True saints revealed — they walk in white.
Verse 2
You say you love Him — show it true,Not in word, but what you do.
To walk with Christ is not a show —
It's dying daily, letting go.
Not hearers only, but doers stand,
With faith and law held in their hand.
Bridge
They know His name, they know His voice —They've made His cross their only choice.
With patience, they endure the flame —
The saints who honor His holy name.
Breakdown
"If you love Me... keep My commandments...""He who says, ‘I know Him,’ and does not... is a liar..."
"Here is the patience of the saints..."
"Those who keep the commandments... and the faith of Jesus."
Final Chorus
True saints revealed — they don't retreat.Through trials, pain, they don't concede.
They keep His ways, they hold His Name,
They bear His mark, despising shame.
Their robes are clean, their hearts are sealed —
In the fire... true saints revealed.
Outro
"If you love Me...""...Keep My commandments..."
"...True saints... revealed."
