We Exalt Your Name
2026/10/09
If you have time, please learn this new song. It should be easy since most of you are already familiar with the song, "Lord I Lift Your Name on High." “We Exalt Your Name” is a song of praise and worship that magnifies the one true God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—three distinct, eternal divine Persons united in love and in the plan of redemption. It celebrates the Father’s immeasurable love in giving His Son, Jesus Christ’s sacrifice and resurrection, and His present ministry as our High Priest in the heavenly sanctuary. It also honors the Holy Spirit, who reveals Christ, convicts us of sin, guides us into truth, and transforms us into Christ’s likeness. From the gift of salvation to the restoration of God’s image in humanity, this song invites us to lift our voices in gratitude, reverence, and adoration: “Lord, we lift Your name on high!” WE EXALT YOUR NAME Lyrics by Zeres Vitto © 2026 Zeres Vitto. All rights reserved. To the tune of “Lord, I Lift Your Name on High” Piano by Kaleb Brasee. [Verse 1 — The Father] Father, we exalt Your name, For Your love endures forever; You so loved this fallen world, That You gave Your Son to save us. [Chorus 1 — The Father’s Love] You gave Your only Son Because of love; You sent Him down to this earth To set us free; From our bondage to sin, From the death sin would bring— Father, we exalt Your name! [Verse 2 — The Son] Jesus, holy Son of God, You left heaven’s courts of glory; You became the Lamb for us, And You gave Your life to save us. [Chorus 2 — The Son’s Sacrifice] You came from heaven to earth To dwell with us; You gave Your life on the cross To save the lost; From the cross to the grave, From the grave You arose— Jesus, we exalt Your name! [Verse 3 — The Holy Spirit] Spirit, holy and divine, You reveal to us our Savior; You convict and lead to truth, Changing us to be like Jesus. [Final Chorus — The Godhead] Praise God, our Father of love, Who gave His Son; Praise Jesus, High Priest above, Who pleads for us; Praise to the Spirit divine, Who makes us more like Christ— Lord, we lift Your name on high! (REPEAT) Lord, we lift Your name on high! Lord, we lift Your name on high! #zeresvitto #theGodhead #FatherSonHolySpirit #WeExaltYourName #presenttruth #bubletruth @everyone @followers #kalebbrasee
Hold Fast Thine Integrity - Job Song Series #2
2026/10/05
The story of Job reveals a great controversy unseen by human eyes. Satan claimed that when everything is taken—even life itself—man will turn from God. Yet Job held fast his integrity, and Jesus gave the perfect answer: tempted, suffering, and faithful even unto death, He did not yield. “Hold Fast Thine Integrity” calls us to follow the Lamb, trust God when we cannot see His hand, and hold fast until He comes. HOLD FAST THINE INTEGRITY Job Song Series — #2 Lyrics by Zeres Vitto © 2026 Zeres Vitto. All rights reserved. [Verse 1 — The Accusation] The accuser stood before God: Skin for skin—all men will yield. Touch his flesh and bring him pain; See if he will trust You still. Yet the Lord declared of Job, He holds fast his integrity. Though he could not see the conflict, Still he trusted in his God. [Chorus 1 — Hold Fast] HOLD FAST! HOLD FAST! Though His hand you cannot see; He knows the way you’ll take— Trust His Word and firmly stand. Though your earthly strength may fail, Though the pathway is unclear— HOLD FAST! HOLD FAST! Stand faithful to God! [Verse 2 — The Perfect Answer] Adam stood in Eden’s plenty, Given rule by God Himself; Yet he chose to share her sin, And turned from his Maker’s Word. Then the Second Adam entered In the wilderness alone; Where the first had failed in plenty, Jesus stood upon God’s Word. [Chorus 2 — By Every Word] Man shall not live by bread alone, But by every word from God. Hungry, weak, and sorely tempted, Jesus trusted and obeyed. Neither bread nor earthly glory Turned Him from His Father’s will. Faithful to His Father’s calling, Jesus stood and would not yield. [Verse 3 — The Kingdoms Offered] Satan showed Him all the kingdoms: Worship me—they shall be Yours. Jesus would not bow to Satan; He would worship God alone. He refused the tempter’s offer, Choosing still His Father’s will. He would wait His Father’s purpose— Faithful to His Father still. [Verse 4 — The Cup] In Gethsemane He prayed; Sorrow pressed His soul to death. Bearing all our sins upon Him, Jesus faced the cup of wrath— Separation from His Father, Death that fallen man deserved. “Not My will, but Thine, be done.” Still He trusted and obeyed. [Chorus 3 — The Faith of Jesus] HOLD FAST! Behold the Savior! Trusting through the darkest night; He could not see beyond the tomb, Yet He walked by faith, not sight. Faithful even unto death, Still He trusted in His God. Through the darkness, He obeyed— Faithful to His Father still. [Verse 5 — The Final Test] Soon false worship will be forced; Without the mark, none buy or sell. Even life will be at stake— Will we worship God or man? Job prized God’s Word more than food; Christ lived by each Word of God. Keep His law and trust in Jesus; Follow the Lamb—do not yield! [Climax & Appeal] THOUGH ALL BE TAKEN— STAND TRUE TO GOD! THOUGH DEATH LIES BEFORE YOU— DO NOT YIELD! FOLLOW THE LAMB— FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH! HOLD FAST! HOLD FAST! UNTIL HE COMES! HOLD FAST! UNTIL HE COMES! #zeresvitto #jonahsongseries2 #holdfastuntilhecomes @everyone @followers
Tempted, Tried, and Crowned - Job Song Series #1
2026/10/04
Temptation is inevitable, but yielding to temptation is not. Jesus was “in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin,” and He showed us how to overcome—by trusting His Father, standing on His Word, and refusing to yield. The trials we face today are preparing our faith to endure the greater trials ahead. As the world grows dim and the final conflict draws near, may we fix our eyes on Jesus, cling more closely to Him, and remember the promise: “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation… he shall receive the crown of life.” Tempted, Tried, and Crowned. TEMPTED, TRIED, AND CROWNED Lyrics by Zeres Vitto Copyright 2026. Zeres Vitto. All rights reserved. “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life.” — James 1:12 [Verse 1 — Whose Word Will You Trust?] In Eden, God had spoken clearly, Giving them His word to heed; Then the serpent raised the question: “Yea, hath God said?” came his deceit. They believed another voice, And took what God had forbidden. Every trial brings the question: Whose word will we stand upon? [Chorus 1 — God Makes a Way] Tempted, tried—but not forsaken; God will make a way of escape. Temptation is not sin; Do not yield, but watch and pray. Trust the promises He’s given; Find your refuge in His name. Submit to God; resist the devil— He will flee! Stand firm in Christ! [Verse 2 — Faith Learns to Endure] Abraham once chose his own way When the promise seemed delayed; Later, on the mount with Isaac, He obeyed what God had said. Job was stripped of earthly treasures, Yet refused to curse his God. Faith grows stronger through the testing, Learning still to trust the Lord. [Verse 3 — Christ Overcame] Jesus met the great tempter In the wilderness alone; Hungry, weary, never yielding, Standing on His Father’s Word. “It is written!” was His answer; Firmly He resisted him. Then the devil left defeated— Christ endured and overcame! [Chorus 2 — Resist and Overcome] Tempted, tried—and overcoming, Not by strength that is our own; Fix your eyes upon the Savior; Stand in Jesus Christ alone. Even the weakest, clinging to Him, Finds a refuge strong and sure. Submit to God; resist the devil— He will flee! In Christ endure! [Verse 4 — Prepare Now] Now is when we learn endurance; Now is when we watch and pray. Hide His living Word within you; Choose His will from day to day. Do not wait until the crisis To begin to learn to stand. Every victory through His power Strengthens faith for trials ahead. [Verse 5 — The Final Trial] When the final trial surrounds us, And all earthly hopes grow dim, Fix your eyes upon the Savior; Cling more closely still to Him. When the darkness presses round us, Trust each promise He has given. Hold to Christ through every testing; He is faithful—He will keep us. [Climax & Appeal — Endure for the Crown] NOW IS THE TIME—PREPARE TO STAND! WATCH AND PRAY! HOLD FAST HIS WORD! SUBMIT TO GOD! RESIST THE DEVIL! HE WILL FLEE—DO NOT YIELD! WHEN THE FIERCEST TRIAL SURROUNDS YOU, WHEN ALL EARTHLY HOPES GROW DIM, FIX YOUR EYES ALONE ON JESUS— CLING MORE TIGHTLY STILL TO HIM! HOLD FAST—LET NO ONE TAKE YOUR CROWN! BE FAITHFUL EVEN UNTO DEATH! ENDURE! RESIST! ABIDE IN JESUS! HE WILL GIVE THE CROWN OF LIFE! TEMPTED! TRIED! AND CROWNED! #zeresvitto #presenttruth #bibletruth #temptation #temptationVSsin #TemptedTriedandCrowned @everyone @followers
Arise, Go, and Cry Aloud - Jonah Song Series #1
2026/10/03
I’ve started a new song series based on the book of Jonah, beginning with “Arise, Go, and Cry Aloud.” Jonah was called to take God’s warning to Nineveh, yet while a storm raged around him, God’s messenger was asleep. His story speaks powerfully to God’s people today: this is no time for His watchmen to slumber. God’s warning is also a message of mercy—He calls us to arise, faithfully proclaim His Word, and take His final message to the world while mercy still remains. --- ARISE, GO, AND CRY ALOUD Jonah Song Series — #1 Lyrics by Zeres Vitto Copyright 2026. Zeres Vitto. All rights reserved. [Verse 1 — The Call] The word of the Lord came to Jonah: “Arise! Go to Nineveh and cry!” Their wickedness rose up before Him, Yet mercy gave time to repent. God saw a people lost in darkness, Though they did not yet know His name; So He called His servant to bring them the warning— That they might repent and be spared. [Chorus 1 — Arise!] ARISE! GO! AND CRY ALOUD! Lift up your voice like a trumpet! The night is far spent, the day is at hand— God’s watchmen, awake from your sleep! Bear His Word to a world in darkness; Tell them His mercy still calls! ARISE! GO! AND CRY ALOUD! Give the warning while mercy remains! [Verse 2 — The Fleeing Prophet] But Jonah arose and fled from his calling, Down to Joppa, away from the Lord; He knew the Creator of sea and dry land, Yet turned from His spoken Word. We may know the truth and proclaim His name, Yet forget why His Word has been given; For His light must shine in the darkness— ARISE! Take His Word to the world! [Verse 3 — O Sleeper, Awake!] The tempest was raging, the sailors were crying, While Jonah lay sleeping below; “O sleeper, arise! Call upon your God!” Perhaps He will hear, and we’ll not perish! Can we sleep while the nations are troubled? Can we hide while the storm gathers near? “Awake, thou that sleepest, arise from the dead!” There’s a message the whole world must hear! [Chorus 2 — The Final Cry] ARISE! GO! AND CRY ALOUD! The everlasting gospel proclaim! “Fear God, give glory—the judgment is come! Worship God who made heaven and earth!” “Babylon is fallen”—the warning goes forth; Yet God has a people inside: COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE—NOW! ARISE! GIVE THE FINAL CRY! [Verse 4 — Watchman on the Tower] Watchman, stand upon the tower; See the danger drawing near! Sound the trumpet, give the warning— Let the people plainly hear! You were stationed there to warn them; Do not slumber at your post. Lift your voice and sound the message— ARISE! Take His Word to the world! [Verse 5 — Why We Cry] We warn because mercy is pleading; God longs for the lost to be saved. As Nineveh heard and turned in repentance, Those in Babylon must hear His call. His sheep will heed the Shepherd’s voice, And answer His merciful call; Bear truth with the love of the Savior— Call them out to follow the Lamb! [Climax & Appeal] ARISE, GO, AND CRY ALOUD! The world must hear His Word! While mercy calls, do not delay! Speak every word the Lord has said! Lift up your voice—hold nothing back! Take His message to the world! #zeresvitto #presenttruth #bibletruth #evamgelism #Godsmission #arisegoandcryaloud #babylon #comeoutofhermypeople #comeoutofbabylon #loudcry #Watchman @everyone @followers #Jonah #theJonahsongseries
The Unpardonable Sin
2026/10/01
Still in the ER and waiting for my dog, so I decided to finish this song. The Unpardonable Sin traces the Holy Spirit's loving work from Genesis to Revelation. Again and again, God calls, convicts, and invites every heart to repentance through His Spirit. But every rejection hardens the heart, until persistent resistance can silence the Spirit's voice forever. Yet this is not merely a warning—it is a message of hope. As long as the Spirit is still striving, mercy remains. Today, hear His voice, choose the Lamb, and respond while His gracious invitation still calls. Lyrics: The Unpardonable Sin Lyrics by Zeres Vitto Copyright 2026. Zeres Vitto. All rights reserved. [Verse 1] In Eden mercy sought the fallen, Promised Christ would crush the foe; Cain refused the Spirit's warning, Choosing his own way to go. Soon the world despised God's pleading; Violence filled the hearts of men. "My Spirit shall not always strive..." Still His mercy called again. [Chorus] Every "no" resists the Spirit. Every "yes" belongs to Christ. Hear His voice while mercy lingers; Choose the Giver of all life. Harden not your heart today; Heaven's love still calls your name. While the Spirit still is striving, Don't turn His voice away. [Verse 2] Prophets warned a stubborn people, Still they would not turn to God. Stephen cried, "You always resist The Holy Spirit—as your fathers did!" Light rejected hardens conscience; Truth refused grows strangely dim. Every heart must choose its Master— Yield to Christ, or grieve the Spirit. [Chorus] Every "no" resists the Spirit. Every "yes" belongs to Christ. Hear His voice while mercy lingers; Choose the Giver of all life. Harden not your heart today; Heaven's love still calls your name. While the Spirit still is striving, Don't turn His voice away. [Verse 3] Jesus healed by Heaven's power; Love and mercy marked His way. Still they claimed the Spirit's power Came from Satan's evil sway. Then He gave the solemn warning, Echoing through every age: Every sin can find forgiveness— Don't reject the Spirit's grace. [Verse 4] Now the everlasting gospel Calls the world to worship Him: "Come out of her, My people;" Leave the darkness born of sin. Every soul must choose allegiance— Christ alone, or man's decree. Those who follow Christ are sealed, Bearing God's own holy seal. Soon each soul will choose forever; Every case at last revealed. Heaven's final plea is ended; Every destiny is sealed. [Climax & Appeal] TODAY—the Spirit still is calling! TODAY—God's mercy still remains! Don't keep resisting the Spirit— Don't turn His voice away! Every "no" resists the Spirit. Every "no" can harden the heart. The unpardonable sin Is to keep rejecting the Holy Spirit. Choose the Lamb while mercy lingers. Choose His truth and be set free. Hear His voice... Before He strives no more. #zeresvitto #bibletruth #presenttruth #theunpardonablesin @followers @everyone
Guard the Avenues of Your Soul
2026/10/01
I finished this song while waiting in the pet emergency hospital. The great controversy is a battle for the heart and mind. From Eden to the final conflict, the enemy has sought to influence us through what we see, hear, think upon, and cherish. “Guard the Avenues of Your Soul” is a call to guard these avenues, hide God’s Word in our hearts, and walk daily with the Holy Spirit. The time to prepare is now. Let no sight, sound, temptation, or deception turn you from the Word of God. Fix your eyes on Christ, follow the Lamb, and remain faithful until He comes. And when the final test arrives, take your stand upon God’s truth—and having done all, STAND! Lyrics: GUARD THE AVENUES OF YOUR SOUL Lyrics by Zeres Vitto Copyright 2026 Zeres Vitto. All rights reserved. [Verse 1 — Eden’s Fall] God had spoken; truth was clear, Eve gave ear to serpent’s voice. She saw, desired, and took the fruit, Turning from the Word of God. Adam ate, though not deceived; Through his sin, death entered in. Eden warns us still today: Guard your heart; choose God’s way. [Chorus 1 — Guard the Soul] Guard the avenues of your soul! Guard what you see and what you hear! Guard the thoughts you let remain; Hide God’s Word within your heart. What you cherish shapes your choice; Listen to the Shepherd’s voice. By beholding, we are changed— Keep your eyes upon the Lord! [Verse 2 — Lessons From the Past] Lot pitched his tent toward Sodom; Achan saw, then coveted and took; David saw, inquired, then took; Desire grew and led to sin. Joseph fled when he was tempted; Job made covenant with his eyes. Learn from those who came before; Guard your heart and turn from sin. [Verse 3 — The Word and the Holy Spirit] Teach God’s Word throughout the day— Sitting, walking on the way; When you rise and when you rest, Hide His Word within your heart. Then the Holy Spirit brings to mind Words that Jesus taught before; He will guide you into truth— Walk each day with the Holy Spirit. [Chorus 2 — Word and Holy Spirit] “It is written!” Jesus answered; With God’s Word He met the foe. When the tempter comes to you, Let the Holy Spirit lead in truth. Take each thought and yield to Christ; Think on what is pure and true. Walk each day with the Holy Spirit; Let the mind of Christ be yours. [Verse 4 — Final Deception] Last-day falsehoods will increase; Signs will be used to deceive. What you see and what you hear Must not overrule God’s Word. When the world demands your worship, Hold to what the Scriptures say. Let His Word remain your guide; Stand in Christ and do not yield. [Verse 5 — Prepare Now] Now prepare; watch and pray; Guard the avenues each day. Fill your heart with living truth; Let God’s Word take root in you. Follow where the Lamb will lead; Keep His Word in thought and deed. God will seal His faithful ones; Stand in truth until He comes! [Climax & Appeal — Stand!] GUARD YOUR EYES! GUARD YOUR EARS! GUARD YOUR HEART FROM SATAN’S SNARES! HIDE GOD’S WORD WITHIN YOUR HEART! NOW’S THE TIME—PREPARE TO STAND! WHEN THE FINAL TEST SHALL COME, STAND FOR CHRIST, WHATEVER COMES! GOD’S NAME WRITTEN ON YOUR FOREHEAD— HAVING DONE ALL—STAND! HAVING DONE ALL—STAND! #zeresvitto #presenttruth #bibletruth #guardtheavenuestoyoursoul @everyone
When the Brook Runs Dry
2026/09/29
WHEN THE BROOK RUNS DRY [Verse 1 — Daily Bread] Our Father, holy is Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done; Give us today our daily bread, Teach us to trust You day by day. You feed the birds, You clothe the grass, You know our needs before we pray; Why fear what tomorrow may bring? Our Father knows the way. [Verse 2 — The Provider Remains] The brook ran dry, the ravens ceased, But God had not forgotten him; He sent Elijah far from home, Where one poor widow gathered sticks. Her flour was low, her oil was small, Yet God saw needs they could not see; The means may change, the brook run dry— THE PROVIDER STILL REMAINS! [Chorus 1 — Feed Us] Give us this day our daily bread, And feed us every Word You’ve said; Not only hear, not only know— But live the truth that You reveal. For Jesus said, “My food is this: To do the will of Him who sent Me.” Feed us Your Word and give us strength TO DO THE FATHER’S WILL! [Verse 3 — Do His Will] The twelve returned with food to eat; Christ spoke of food they could not see: “My food is doing My Father’s will, And finishing the work He gave.” The woman left her jar behind And went to tell what she had found; The soul that drinks the Living Water Carries it to thirsty ground. [Verse 4 — A Hungry World] Some cry for bread, some flee from war, Some suffer wrongs they did not choose; Some have enough upon their tables, Yet starve by living without Your Word. God sees the child, the tears, the pain; No hidden sorrow leaves His sight. His thoughts are higher than our thoughts, His ways beyond our sight. [Chorus 2 — Send Us] Give THEM this day their daily bread; Through willing hands, let them be fed. Where hearts are broken, send us forth With bread, with truth, with hope and love. You feed us, Lord—now make us willing To share the blessings we receive; For knowing truth is not enough— WE MUST DO THE FATHER’S WILL! [Verse 5 — When the Brook Runs Dry] Amos warned of famine for the Word— Then feed upon His truth today! Store truth within your heart and mind; Believe it, live it, and obey. And when our earthly brooks run dry, Look higher than what eyes can see; Our help comes from the Lord who made THE HEAVENS, THE EARTH, AND SEA! (Climax & Appeal] WHEN THE BROOK RUNS DRY—TRUST HIM! WHEN OTHERS HUNGER—FEED THEM! RECEIVE HIS WORD—AND LIVE IT! DO THE FATHER’S WILL! [Final Tag] When the brook runs dry— THE PROVIDER STILL REMAINS! Our help is in the Lord who made THE HEAVENS, THE EARTH, AND SEA! Lyrics by Zeres Vitto. Copyright 2026. Zeres Vitto.
Restoring God’s Foundation
2026/09/12
Restoring God’s Foundation may be considered controversial because it addresses issues that challenge many of today’s cultural values. Yet its purpose is not to condemn people, but to present what the Bible teaches about creation, marriage, the Sabbath, human identity, sin, and restoration. Beginning with God’s perfect creation and ending with the call to “build the old waste places” and “raise up the foundations of many generations” (Isaiah 58:12), the song calls us back to God’s original design. Its message is ultimately one of restoration: “In the beginning, things were not so” (Matthew 19:8). --- Restoring God’s Foundation Words by Zeres Vitto. Edition 2026. Copyright 2026 Zeres Vitto. All rights reserved. [Verse 1] By the Word of the Lord were the heavens made, And all the host of them with the breath of His mouth, For He spake, and it was done, He commanded, and it stood fast. [Verse 2] Earth’s foundation, He laid, immovable, All things animate and inanimate came forth, His crowning work—man formed from earth’s dust, Male and female in His likeness and image. [Verse 3] Marriage between a man and a woman, And its twin pillar, the Sabbath of the Lord, Two institutions ordained at creation, Made for God’s glory to benefit humanity. [Verse 4] But God’s law of love, mankind defied, Divorce has broken the sacred relation, Unnatural affections, same-sex unions, Mar the picture of Christ and His church. [Verse 5] Everywhere are seen wrecks of humanity, Broken-down family altars, broken-up families, Children and adults alike, confused about sexuality, Reduced to pronouns and alphabets for their identity. [Verse 6] Sodomitish principles, as in days of old— Pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness, Neglect of the poor and the needy as well, Are seen in God’s people who profess to honor Him. [Verse 7] In the beginning, things were not so, All of creation conformed to God’s law, Sin brought corruption through selfishness and pride, In our day, as of old, God’s truths are set aside. [Verse 8] In the beginning, things were not so, Everything was made perfect, no breach in God’s law, Now we raise God’s standard, build the old waste places, And raise up the foundations of many generations. #zeresvitto #solascriptura #biblesongs #presenttruth #RestoringGodsFoundation @followers @everyone #followers #everyone
Hanggang Sya'y Dumating
2026/09/05
Hanggang Siya’y Dumating - Tagalog Adaptation of Until He Comes by Zeres Vitto Tagalog Lyrics by Zeres Vitto Vocal by Zeres Vitto Awit ng Pag-ahon #4 — Batay sa Awit 123 [Talata 1 — Mga Manlalakbay Pauwi] Gaya ni Abraham, tayo’y dayuhan, Lungsod ng Diyos ang hinahanap; Walang tahanang permanente, Mga Patriarka’y sinusundan. Sa Diyos na naghahari sa langit, Tayo ay nakatingin; Dayuhang tagapagmana ng Zion, Hinihintay hudyat ng Kanyang kamay. [Bago ang Koro — Ang Bantay] “Bantay, anong ulat ng gabi— Kailan sisikat ang araw?” “Darating ang umaga’t gabi; Magbantay—araw ay darating.” [Koro — Nagbabantay at Naghihintay] Nakatingin kami sa Iyo, O Diyos, Hinihintay hudyat ng 'Yong kamay; Lagyan ng langis ang aming sisidlan, Tulungang tumayong matapat. Habang si Jesus ay naghuhusga, Katotohanan Mo’y pagningasin; Magdamag kaming magbabantay, Hihintayin ang ’Yong pagliligtas. [Talata 2 — Lumakad Gaya ni Enoc] Gaya ni Enoc sa madilim na mundo, Turuan kaming sumunod sa ‘Yo; Nagbabala sa darating na hatol, Ngunit nanatiling matapat. Habang hatol ay papatapos, Babala’y aming ihahayag; Gaya ni Enoc na lumakad nang tapat, Turuang sundin ang Kalooban Mo. [Koro — Nagbabantay at Naghihintay] Nakatingin kami sa Iyo, O Diyos, Hinihintay hudyat ng 'Yong kamay; Lagyan ng langis ang aming sisidlan, Tulungang tumayong matapat. Habang si Jesus ay naghuhusga, Katotohanan Mo’y pagningasin; Magdamag kaming magbabantay, Hihintayin ang ’Yong pagliligtas. [Talata 3 — Gaya noong Panahon ni Noe] Sa pagmasid ni Noe, sila’y pabaya, Mundo ngayo’y panatag rin. Hatol Mo’y kanilang tinutuya, Sa kapalalua’y namumuhay. Gaya ng pantas, may langis sa sisidlan, Sa Espiritu’y pagningasin; Habang Kasintaha’y namamagitan, Kami’y magbabantay buong gabi. [Tulay — Gabi ni Jacob] “Maawa Ka! O Panginoon!” Pag naglaho ang lahat ng tulong sa mundo; Gaya ni Jacob, nakipagbuno Hanggang bukang-liwayway. Kahit libakin, Kahit gipitin, Hindi Ka namin bibitawan; Kami’y ingatan sa oras ng kadiliman— Sa biyaya Mo lamang kami’y tatayo. [Huling Koro — Dumating ang Hari] Sa Iyo kami nakatuon, Nagbabantay sa gabing madilim; Paghuhukom ay nagsara, pagbabantay ay tapos na— Ang aming Hari’y dumarating! Mga patay kay Kristo’y babangong imortal, Mga banal na buhay ay babaguhin; Sabay-sabay sasalubong sa Kanya— Ating Hari’t Panginoon ay dumating! [Wakas — Tahanan sa Wakas] Di na dayuhang nananahan sa tolda, Lungsod na hinanap ay tahanan; Gaya ni Enoc, binago’t kinuha, Sasalubong sa Panginoon. Gabi’y lumipas, lakbay ay tapos na, Makikita ang ating Minamahal; Kasama ng Panginoong nagligtas— Nakauwi sa piling ng Dios. Kasama ng Panginoong nagligtas— Nakauwi sa piling ng Dios.

The Snare is Broken
2026/09/01
“The Snare Is Broken” is based on Psalm 124, a song of deliverance for God’s people when escape seems impossible. From Israel’s rescue in the past to the final conflict over worship, the song reminds us that our safety is not found in human power, but in the Lord who made heaven and earth. When every earthly way seems closed, God can still make a way—and when the snare is finally broken, His faithful people will declare, “We have escaped!” *** THE SNARE IS BROKEN Song of Ascents #5 — Psalm 124 Lyrics by Zeres Vitto Copyright 2026 Zeres Vitto. All Rights Reserved. [Verse 1 — The Enemy Rises] Had the Lord not stood beside us When our enemies arose, They would swallow us in anger, Floods would rise and sweep us under. When the waves closed in around us, And no pathway could be seen, Still the Lord remained beside us— He would never leave His own. [Verse 2 — The Snare Is Broken] Like a bird caught by the hunter, We were trapped with no way out; Like the prey before the lion, There was nowhere left to run. But the Lord would not forsake us, He would not give us as prey; Then the snare was torn and broken— And the bird could fly away! [Chorus 1 — Our Help Is the Lord] WHEN RAGING WATERS RISE AROUND US, AND PHARAOH’S ARMIES CLOSE BEHIND, The God who made a path through waters Will make a way where none can see! OUR HELP IS IN THE NAME OF THE LORD— HE MAKES A WAY! WE SHALL BE FREE! [Verse 3 — Who Is Israel?] God once led His ancient people Through the sea and desert land; Now in Christ He calls all people From each nation, tribe, and tongue. Not by blood or earthly borders— Those in Christ become His own; Walking onward as His people, Pilgrims on the journey home. [Verse 4 — The Final Snare] Soon the world will face a choice: Whom will we obey and trust? When false worship is commanded, Will we follow God or man? Though the whole world stands against us, We will follow Christ alone— Keeping all that God commanded, Holding to the faith of Jesus. [Chorus 2 — Worship the Creator] WORSHIP GOD, THE GREAT CREATOR! KEEP HIS HOLY SABBATH DAY! When each voice demands our worship, We will stand upon His Word! Fear God and give Him glory— WORSHIP HIM WHO MADE US ALL! [Verse 5 — The Creator Delivers] When the darkest hour has fallen, When all earthly hope seems gone, Michael stands for all His people; God will not forsake His own. Every snare at last is broken, Every captive soul set free; Lift your eyes—the Lord is coming! Our Deliverer we shall see! [Climax & Appeal — Choose Today] WHEN THE WORLD DEMANDS YOUR WORSHIP, STAND WITH CHRIST—AND CHOOSE HIS WAY! FOLLOW ALL THAT GOD COMMANDS US! KEEP THE FAITH THAT JESUS HELD! WORSHIP GOD, THE GREAT CREATOR! STAND FOR TRUTH WHATEVER COMES! OUR HELP IS IN THE NAME OF THE LORD! THE SNARE IS BROKEN—WE HAVE ESCAPED!
By Beholding We Are Changed
2026/08/30
“By Beholding We Are Changed” is a call to guard what fills our minds and hearts and to fix our eyes on Christ. Through the examples of Daniel and Achan, the song contrasts resisting Babylon with allowing its influence within. As the final choice approaches, it calls us to behold Jesus through God’s Word, set our minds on things above, and allow the Holy Spirit to transform us from glory to glory into His likeness. *** BY BEHOLDING WE ARE CHANGED Lyrics by Zeres Vitto Copyright © 2026 Zeres Vitto. All Rights Reserved. [Verse 1 — What We Behold] What fills the eye will reach the mind; What fills the mind will shape the heart. What fills the heart will guide the life— Our choices shape what we become. Our hearts will follow what we treasure; What we cherish shapes us each day. Turn your eyes from things that perish— By beholding, we are changed. [Chorus 1 — Behold the Lord] BEHOLD THE LORD! Look into His Word! See Jesus Christ revealed within! Think on His truth; treasure what is good; Choose what He loves and walk His way. From thought to heart, from heart to living, His Spirit forms His life within! As we behold the glory of Jesus— BY BEHOLDING, WE ARE CHANGED! [Verse 2 — Choosing God] Daniel lived in Babylon, Yet purposed not to be defiled. His three friends would not bow the knee; They chose to worship God alone. They faced the fire and still stood true; Daniel prayed though death was near. In Babylon, they still chose God— They had learned to choose the Lord. Verse 3 — Babylon Within] Achan saw what pleased his eyes; He coveted the silver and gold. He took the treasures and Babylon’s robe; Then hid them underneath his tent. What we cherish fills the heart; What fills the heart will shape the life. Though Babylon may stand outside— Never let it rule within. [Chorus 2 — Set Your Mind Above] SET YOUR MIND ON THINGS ABOVE! Think on what is true and pure! Leave the ways of Babylon; Fix your eyes on Christ alone! Let His Word renew your thinking; Let His Spirit change your heart. As we look to Jesus daily— WE’RE CHANGED FROM GLORY TO GLORY! [Verse 4 — The Final Choice] Babylon calls the world to worship; The faithful choose to follow Christ. One bears the mark of the beast; One bears the name of God above. One follows self and human teaching; One follows Jesus through His Word. The final test reveals the heart— Our lives reflect the One we love. [Climax & Appeal] BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD ABOVE! SEE THE SAVIOR THROUGH GOD’S WORD! LET EARTHLY THINGS GROW DIM— BEHOLD CHRIST ALONE! FOR BY BEHOLDING HIM, WE ARE CHANGED!
When Faith Becomes Sight
2026/08/26
WHEN FAITH BECOMES SIGHT Through the Glass Dimly, Until We See His Face [Verse 1 — The Lamb] In Gethsemane, beneath our weight of sin, The spotless Lamb bore all our guilt and shame. The cup of suffering trembled in His hand: “Not Mine, but Thine”—He chose the Father’s plan. They offered wine to dull the pain He bore; He turned away—to trust His Father more. Though darkness hid the Father from His sight, He held by faith when heaven veiled its light. [Chorus 1 — Into Thy Hands] “Into Thy hands My spirit I commend”— Though He could not see, He trusted to the end. So into Your hands, O Father, I will rest; When I cannot see, I know Your way is best. Though feelings fail and darkness hides the light, Your Word stands sure—the just shall live by faith. Now through the glass, so dimly I may see; Yet faithful is the One who promised me. [Verse 2 — The Second Death] “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?” He felt the separation caused by sin; The second death cast darkness on His way, Yet faith held fast when sight had passed away. He could not see beyond the waiting grave, Yet trusted still the Father who could save. “It is finished!”—then, faithful to the end: “Into Thy hands My spirit I commend.” [Verse 3 — Two Cups] The world still offers cups to ease our pain, A little compromise for earthly gain; But Babylon pours wine that clouds the mind, While Satan prowls to make the watchful blind. So watch and pray; be sober, stand awake; Do not trade truth for comfort’s fleeting sake. Choose faithfulness though suffering may come— For temporary night gives way to dawn. [Chorus 2 — The Faith of Jesus] Here is the patience of the saints of God: They keep His Word though hard may be the road. They hold the faith of Jesus through the night, And trust His Word when nothing seems aright. No earthly threat can make their faith depart; His law is written deeply in the heart. Though all the world may say that hope is gone, They know the faithful One will lead them home. [Verse 4 — The Remnant] When Michael stands, His priestly work is done, The final hour of trouble will have come. God’s faithful remnant then will firmly stand— No Intercessor—yet within His hand. Though they may feel that Jesus is not near, “I’m with you always” answers every fear. Like Jacob through the darkness they hold fast; They trust His Word until the trial is past. [Climax & Appeal — When Faith Becomes Sight] He faced the death where sinners rise no more, Yet placed His spirit in the Father’s care! So drink not Babylon’s cup for fleeting ease— HOLD FAST TO CHRIST! STAY SOBER! WATCH AND PRAY! Now through the glass we see Him dimly still— Trust in His heart when you can’t trace His will! NOW WE BELIEVE—BUT SOON OUR EYES SHALL SEE! THEN FACE TO FACE—OUR FAITH SHALL TURN TO SIGHT! Lyrics by Zeres Vitto © 2026 Zeres Vitto. All rights reserved.
By Whom Ye Are Sealed
2026/08/26
BY WHOM YE ARE SEALED Ephesians 4:30 [Verse 1 — The Question] Some say the Spirit is a force, God's power sent abroad; Some say He is no Person, just the presence sent from God. The word “Trinity” is not there—and this we know is true; So let us ask the Bible: Who is He? What does He do? No human creed or theory can define who He is; Let Scripture give the answer—let the evidence begin! [Verse 2 — Bible and Bible Only] Some early Adventists viewed the Spirit differently; Some saw Him only as God's power, not One who speaks and wills. Some today repeat their words: “He is but Christ made near.” But neither church nor teacher stands above God's written Word. “The Bible and the Bible only”—there our faith must stand; Test every teaching by the Word, and follow God's command. [Verse 3 — From the Beginning] In Genesis, God's Spirit moved upon the waters' face; The Spirit gave us life and breath—His power we clearly trace. God's Spirit strove before the Flood while mercy lingered still; He filled God's servants, moved His prophets, and revealed God's will. God's Spirit taught His people, showing them the righteous way; They grieved God's Holy Spirit when they turned in sin away. [Verse 4 — Jesus Reveals Him] At Jordan stood the Son; the Father's voice came from above; The Holy Spirit then descended gently like a dove. Father, Son, and Spirit there were plainly seen as three; When Jesus ascended, the promised Spirit was sent. The Father sent “another Comforter” to teach and guide; The Spirit spoke: “Set them apart—the ones that I have called.” [Verse 5 — Let Scripture Answer!] HE SPEAKS! — Acts thirteen two! HE TEACHES! — John fourteen twenty-six! HE WILLS! — First Corinthians twelve eleven! HE INTERCEDES! — Romans eight twenty-six! HE CAN BE GRIEVED! — Ephesians four thirty! TO LIE TO THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS TO LIE UNTO GOD! — Acts five! [Chorus — One God] ONE GOD! The Scriptures testify—no other we adore! The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—revealed in God's own Word. The Father sends, the Son reveals, the Spirit dwells within; The Father, Son, and Spirit work to rescue us from sin. At Jordan all were manifest—the Bible shows all three: The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—in heaven's work agree! [Climax — The Answer] The Spirit of the living God reveals our sin within; He leads us to the Savior who alone can cleanse from sin. The Spirit gives new birth and writes God's law upon the heart; The Spirit changes us to be like Christ in mind and heart. Remnant, keep God's commandments; hold the faith of Jesus true! Hear what the Spirit says unto the churches—He speaks to you! Grieve not the Holy Spirit, by whom God's saints are sealed; Yield to God's Holy Spirit—let Christ's character be revealed! THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD—BY WHOM GOD'S SAINTS ARE SEALED! SEALED UNTO THE DAY OF OUR REDEMPTION! THE WORD HAS SPOKEN—LET IT STAND! Words by Zeres Vitto Copyright 2026 Zeres Vitto.

Thy Will Be Done

Thy Will Be Done Words by Zeres Vitto © 2026 Zeres Vitto. All rights reserved. [Verse 1 — From Creation to the Fall] In the beginning, God spoke His word, Heaven and earth obeyed what they heard; Holy angels delight in His way, Hear His commandments, gladly obey. But sin brought a will opposed to the throne, Choosing our way instead of God’s own; Still through the darkness His purpose runs— To restore through Christ what sin has undone. [Chorus 1 — The Servant’s Prayer] Thy will be done, not mine but Thine, Write Your law in this heart of mine; Teach me to trust when I cannot see, To hear Your Word and faithfully be Your willing servant, whatever may come— On earth as in heaven, Thy will be done. [Verse 2 — The Faithful Obey] Noah built as the Lord commanded, Abraham followed, though he knew not where; “Go forward!”—Israel walked through the sea, Jordan’s waters stopped as the priests stepped faithfully. Three Hebrews stood when the nations bowed down, Daniel still prayed though death was around; Mary said, “Be it according to Your Word”— Faith does His will when His voice is heard. [Chorus 2 — What Is God’s Will?] Thy will be done—make holy Your own, Your truth in our minds, Your law in our hearts; Restore Your image that sin has defaced, Transform us, Lord, by Your saving grace. To love what You love, Your truth to obey— This is our prayer; lead us in Your way. Your kingdom come, let rebellion be gone; On earth as in heaven, Thy will be done. [Verse 3 — Jesus, the Perfect Servant] Then Jesus came from the courts above, The Father’s will revealed through His love. He came not to do His will, but Thine; The Father’s character through Him would shine. In dark Gethsemane, facing the cross, He chose God’s will whatever the cost; “Not My will, but Thine,” prayed the Son— At Calvary, redemption was won. [Verse 4 — The Final Witness] Now earth must choose whom it will obey, As powers unite and truth is betrayed; Though all the world may pressure and command, God’s faithful remnant in Jesus will stand. His name in their foreheads, His truth in their hearts, Keeping His commandments, from faith they’ll not part; The faith of Jesus—their victory song— Through God’s mighty grace they remain true and strong. [Climax Chorus / Ending — From Genesis to Revelation] THY WILL BE DONE! Let the whole earth see What Christ can do in humanity! As angels in heaven delight to obey, Let Your sealed people walk in Your way. Restore Your image, let Your glory shine, Your truth in our hearts, our wills yield to Thine! From Eden lost to Eden restored, One faithful people, one sovereign Lord; Though earth may threaten, though Babylon reigns, We stand on Your Word through pressure and pain. Your servants shall serve You when conflict is done, The curse shall be gone, and Your kingdom shall come! From Genesis’ dawn till earth is made new— THY WILL BE DONE! THY WILL BE DONE! THY WILL BE DONE! Forever, Lord—THY WILL BE DONE!
Until He Comes
2026/08/12
Until He Comes Song of Ascents #4 — Based on Psalm 123 [Verse 1 — Pilgrims Looking Homeward] Like Abraham, we dwell as pilgrims, Seeking the City built by God; No lasting home is found below us, By faith we walk where fathers trod. Unto the One who dwells in heaven, We lift our eyes beyond this land; Strangers here, but heirs of Zion, We watch by faith our Master’s hand. [Pre-Chorus — The Watchman] “Watchman, tell us of the night— How long until the dawn?” “The morning comes, and also night; Keep watching—day will come.” [Chorus — Watching and Waiting] Our eyes are lifted unto You, We watch the Master’s hand; Keep oil within our vessels, Lord, And help us faithful stand. While our High Priest completes His work, Keep lamps of truth still bright; Until You show Your mercy, Lord, We’ll watch throughout the night. [Verse 2 — Walking Like Enoch] Like Enoch in a world of darkness, Teach us, Lord, to walk with You; He warned his age of coming judgment, Yet kept his faith and witness true. As judgment nears its solemn closing, May we proclaim Your warning still; As Enoch walked with You by faith, Lord, Teach us daily to do Your will. [Chorus — Watching and Waiting] Our eyes are lifted unto You, We watch the Master’s hand; Keep oil within our vessels, Lord, And help us faithful stand. While our High Priest completes His work, Keep lamps of truth still bright; Until You show Your mercy, Lord, We’ll watch throughout the night. [Verse 3 — As in the Days of Noah] As Noah watched while men were careless, So the world remains at ease; Scoffers mock the coming judgment, Proudly living as they please. Like the wise with oil in vessels, By Your Spirit keep us bright; While the Bridegroom’s work is finishing, Keep us watching through the night. [Bridge — Jacob’s Night] “Have mercy, Lord! Have mercy on us!” When every earthly help is gone; Like Jacob clinging through the darkness, We will wrestle toward the dawn. Though filled with scorn, though pressed by trouble, We will never let You go; Through the darkest hour, still keep us— By Your grace alone we stand. [Final Chorus — The King Has Come] Our eyes were lifted unto You, We watched through darkest night; The judgment closed, the waiting ended— Our King appears in light! The dead in Christ arise immortal, The living saints are changed as one; Together caught up to our Savior— The King of kings and Lord of lords has come! [Ending — Home at Last] No longer strangers dwelling in tents, The City sought by faith is home; Like Enoch, changed and taken upward, We rise to meet the Coming One. The night is past, the journey ended, Our eyes behold the One we love; Forever with the Lord our Savior— At home with God above. Lyrics by Zeres Vitto Copyright © 2026 Zeres Vitto.
