Because Our Salvation Is Near Poem by Bernard F. Asuncion

Because our salvation is near,
Bear in mind that Christ shall descend;
Judgment day is fast approaching,
The same is true with whole world's end.

Let us open our hearts to truth,
Amid drought, earthquake, and typhoon;
As signs of Christ's second advent,
Some strange things are seen in the moon.

Life is like a race we must run,
With trust, we ought to understand;
Neither can we afford to quit,
Nor lose the momentum at hand.

In the midst of the treacherous track,
Make our faith just firm and divine;
Abound in hope, give our best shot,
For we're close to the finish line.

Stand so strong raising our heads high,
Move forward by His words we hear;
Fight the good fight for the true faith,
Because our salvation is near.
