Come and hear the words of Je­sus,
Who holds the se­ven stars
And who walks among the se­ven lamps of gold.
He says, I know all your act­ions,
You’ve test­ed wick­ed men,
You have per­se­vered,
Though hard­ships o’er you rolled.
Yet I have this against you:
You’ve left your first true love.
Now re­pent, or I’ll re­move you from your place.
He who ov­er­comes will eat from
God’s pre­cious tree of life.
He who has an ear, hear what the Spir­it says.

Come and hear the words of Je­sus,
Who is the first and last
And who died and then came back to life again.
He says, I know your af­flict­ions;
You’re poor, yet you are rich.
You’ve en­dured much slan­der
From the tongues of men.
Don’t be afraid of suf­fer­ing;
Be faith­ful un­to death,
And you will the crown of life re­ceive one day.
He who ov­er­comes will not be
Hurt by the se­cond death.
He who has an ear, hear what the Spir­it says.

Come and hear the words of Je­sus,
Who holds the two-edged sword;
He says, You’ve been true
And not re­nounced your faith.
Yet I have some things against you:
You’ve been en­ticed to sin;
Immorality and id­ols you’ve em­braced.
You must re­pent, or I’ll come
And fight you with My sword.
Those who win will hid­den man­na have al­ways.
Overcomers will be giv­en
A new name cut in stone.
He who has an ear, hear what the Spir­it says.

Come and hear the words of Je­sus,
Whose eyes are blaz­ing fire.
He says, I know all your love and faith and deeds.
You are do­ing more than ev­er,
Yet still I bring this charge,
For you to­ler­ate a teach­er who mis­leads.
I’ll make you suf­fer great­ly,
Unless you now re­pent.
You will know that I search hearts and will re­pay.
But I’ll give each ov­er­com­er au­tho­ri­ty to rule.
He who has an ear,
Hear what the Spir­it says.

Come and hear the words of Je­sus,
Who holds the se­ven stars.
He says, Peo­ple think
You’re liv­ing, but you’re dead.
You must wake up now and strength­en
What’s left be­fore it dies,
For your deeds are not com­plete, My God has said.
Obey what you have heard now,
Or I’ll come like a thief.
He who ov­er­comes will walk with Me al­ways.
I’ll ac­know­ledge him in Hea­ven;
His name I’ll ne’er erase.
He who has an ear, hear what the Spir­it says.

Come and hear the words of Je­sus,
Who’s true and holds the key;
What He op­ens or He shuts will stay the same.
He says, See, I’ve placed be­fore you
A door that’s op­en wide,
For you’ve kept My word and not de­nied My name.
I love you; now be stead­fast,
So none will take your crown.
Overcomers will great pil­lars be some day.
I will write My new name on them,
The name of My God too.
He who has an ear, hear what the Spir­it says.

Come and hear the words of Je­sus,
God’s wit­ness, faith­ful, true.
He says, You are nei­ther cold, nor are you hot.
So be­cause you’re luke­warm on­ly,
I’ll spit you from My mouth,
For you think you’re rich
And do not know you’re not.
Buy gold from Me and white clothes
And salve so you can see.
Here I’m at the door, and now My voice I raise.
He who ov­er­comes will with Me
Sit down up­on My throne.
He who has an ear, hear what the Spir­it says.
