I Want to Sing for God

I

I've gained much

from God's truthful work.

From His words,

man's corruption I've seen.

From His truth, God's disposition,

the meaning of life I have known.

God's judgment reveals

man's rebellion,

satanic corruption is seen.

Trials reveal my lack of truth,

falling before God I repent.

I want to sing for God,

to sing the words

that are in my heart.

From the world He has chosen me,

saved me through His work.

I want to sing for God,

to sing the words

that are in my heart.

From the world He has chosen me,

saved me through His work.

I want to sing for God.

II

Thanks to God that we have a chance

to be judged and purified.

His salvation, so great and real;

His love is too much to repay.

God's flesh, humble and hidden,

suffers all pains to bring us truth.

God's people enjoy God's words,

attend a sumptuous feast.

I want to sing for God,

to sing the words

that are in my heart.

From the world He has chosen me,

saved me through His work.

I want to sing for God,

to sing the words

that are in my heart.

From the world He has chosen me,

saved me through His work.

I want to sing for God.

III

God's words are the riches of life,

allow me to live like a human.

Resolve to fulfill my duties,

seek truth, testify and praise God.

Seek truth, testify and praise God.

I want to sing for God,

to sing the words

that are in my heart.

From the world He has chosen me,

saved me through His work.

I want to sing for God,

to sing the words

that are in my heart.

From the world He has chosen me,

saved me through His work.

I want to sing for God.

I want to sing for God,

to sing the words

that are in my heart.

From the world He has chosen me,

saved me through His work.

I want to sing for God,

to sing the words

that are in my heart.

From the world He has chosen me,

saved me through His work.

I want to sing for God.

God Has the Best Intentions

I

I have chosen to love God,

I'd obey whatever He takes.

I give no word of complaint,

despite the touch of pain.

The wanton freedom of man

deserves God's discipline.

The rebellion is my own,

God's will I shouldn't mistake.

Though the hardships are a lot,

it's a blessing to have God's love.

Hardship taught me to obey;

God has the best (God has the best),

the best intentions.

II

Worry about whether or not

my love will satisfy God.

I dare not slow down a bit;

do my best to be loyal to God.

Live with God day after day,

I see how lovely He is.

In my contact with Him,

there're more than a few rebellions.

Though the hardships are a lot,

it's a blessing to have God's love.

Hardship taught me to obey;

God has the best (God has the best),

the best intentions.

III

Accept the searching of God,

I know more of my corruption.

Open my heart to fellowship,

truth becomes crystal clear.

I tremble at the thought of

offending His disposition.

I shall be cautious not to rebel,

to cause Him pain.

Though the hardships are a lot,

it's a blessing to have God's love.

Hardship taught me to obey;

God has the best (God has the best),

the best intentions.

IV

Though I have learned to love God,

I always feel far from His will.

I must strive to make progress

to get where Peter had reached.

My sole wish is to please God,

however He thinks of my love.

Though the hardships are a lot,

it's a blessing to have God's love.

Though the hardships are a lot,

it's a blessing to have God's love.

Hardship taught me to obey;

God has the best (God has the best),

the best intentions.

Are You Aware of Your Mission

I

Are you aware

of the burden, the duty

and the commission

on your shoulder?

Where is your

historic sense of mission?

How will you be a good master

in the next age?

Is your sense of masterhood strong?

How will you explain

the master of all things?

Is it really

the master of all living things,

or master of all the material world?

What's your plan

on the next step of work?

How many are waiting

for you to shepherd?

Don't you feel your task very heavy?

II

These poor souls are pitiable,

blind and very lost,

wailing in the darkness,

waiting for a way out.

How they desire the light

like a shooting star to come

and disperse the force of darkness

that has oppressed them

for so many years.

Their yearning by day and night,

who has ever known?

When the light flashes by,

these wretched sufferers

are prisoned in darkness,

with no hope of release.

When will they weep no more?

These restless fragile spirits

are suffering such misfortune.

Heartless ropes, frozen history

has long sealed them off.

Who has ever heard their wailing?

Who has ever seen their misery?

III

Have you ever thought about God?

How grieved and anxious

could He be?

How can He bear

to watch mankind suffer,

whom He created by His own hands?

Mankind are

the poisoned unfortunates.

And though

they have survived till today,

they have long been poisoned

by the evil one.

Have you forgotten

that you are a victim yourself?

Don't you want,

for your love of God,

to save those who have survived,

to repay God with all of your effort,

who loves man

like His own flesh and blood?

How do you understand

being used by God

to live an extraordinary life?

Do you have

a real desire and confidence

to live a meaningful life of piety,

a life lived to serve God?

The Significance of Prayer

I

Prayer is one of the ways

how man cooperates with God,

to call upon His Spirit

and to be touched by God.

The more you pray,

the more you'll be touched,

enlightened and strong-minded.

People as such

can be made perfect soon.

The more you pray,

the more you'll be touched,

enlightened and strong-minded.

People as such

II

So those who never pray are

dead without spirit.

They can't be touched by God,

can't follow God's work.

People who never pray

lose normal spiritual life,

have broken ties with God;

He will not approve them.

"In God’s eyes, although Job was still the Job of before, Job’s faith, obedience, and fear of God had brought God complete satisfaction and enjoyment. At this time, Job had attained the perfection that God had expected him to attain, he had become someone truly worthy of being called “perfect and upright” in God’s eyes. His righteous deeds allowed him to overcome Satan and to stand fast in his testimony to God. So, too, did his righteous deeds make him perfect, and allow the value of his life to be elevated, and transcend more than ever, and make him the first person to no longer be attacked and tempted by Satan. Because Job was righteous, he was accused and tempted by Satan; because Job was righteous, he was handed over to Satan; and because Job was righteous, he overcame and defeated Satan, and stood firm in his testimony. Henceforth Job became the first man who would never again be handed over to Satan, he truly came before the throne of God, and lived in the light, under the blessings of God without the spying or ruination of Satan…. He had become a true man in the eyes of God, he had been set free …"

" 'Jehovah gave, and Jehovah has taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah.' These words are Job’s testimony to God. It was these ordinary words that cowed Satan, that brought shame upon it and caused it to flee in panic, and, moreover, that shackled Satan and left it without resources. So, too, did these words make Satan feel the wondrousness and might of the deeds of Jehovah God, and allow it to perceive the extraordinary charisma of one whose heart was ruled by the way of God. Moreover, they demonstrated to Satan the powerful vitality shown by a small and insignificant man in adhering to the way of fearing God and shunning evil."

The Lord Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice" (Jhn 10:27). Clearly, the Lord is speaking to search for His sheep upon His return. The most crucial thing for Christians to do as they await the coming of the Lord is to seek to hear the voice of the Lord. How is one able to recognize the voice of the Lord, though? What is the difference between the voice of God and the voice of humans?
