Intro I’ve seen world’s evil and darkness clearly, and will no longer follow its trends blindly.
Verse 1 Only Almighty God can save man; my heart tells me it’s true. Why can’t I accept the truth, follow Him? Why am I still aloof? Have I sunk so low I’ll be destroyed as an ignorant fool?
I If you believe in God’s rule, you must know that all things don’t happen just by chance. God arranges everything. What does God do it for? What is His final aim? It is not to lay you bare, but to perfect and save. How does God perfect and save you? By showing you your corruption, your nature, your essence, your faults. Know these things, and you will cast them off.
Verse 1 People judge people by behavior: good conduct, righteous; bad conduct, wicked. Some wish to use good deeds to obtain a good future. Some try to use fine words to obtain a favored end. Wrongly, they believe that God determines outcomes by watching their behavior or listening to their speech. Many wish to use good deeds, or the fine words they say, they try deceiving God to gain a momentary favor.
In this age, and among you, God shall accomplish the following fact: that every person shall live out the words of God, shall be able to put truth into practice, and shall love God earnestly; that all people shall use the words of God as a foundation and as their reality, and shall have hearts that revere God; and that, through practicing the words of God, man shall then wield kingly power together with God. This is the work to be achieved by God. God uses words to govern people; you feel good if you eat and drink the words of God, and if you do not, you have no path to follow. The words of God become people’s food, and the force that drives them.
The Sun of righteousness rises in the East. Oh God! Your glory fills heaven and earth. My beautiful beloved, Your love surrounds me. Those who seek truth all love God. In the early morning, though I rise alone, joy’s in my heart as I ponder God’s words. His gentle words, like a loving mother. His words of judgment, like a father’s reproof.

Those who only think of their flesh and comforts, those whose faith is uncertain, those who practice witchcraft and sorcery, lecherous ones, tattered and worn, those who steal from God, taking sacrifices, who love bribes or idly dream of heaven, those arrogant and proud, striving for fame and wealth, those who spread impious words, those unrepentant people trapped in sin, are they not beyond salvation? Those unrepentant people trapped in sin, are they not beyond salvation?
Verse 1 The authority of God does not flicker on and off, neither does it come and go. Nobody can measure just how great and just how strong it is.
Verse 2 When God gives one a promise, doesn’t matter what they do, where they live, or their background before or after the promise, before or after the promise, He’s familiar with everything.
I Though the work of conquest is reached by God’s purging of man’s prospects, man will be ultimately led to the proper place God prepared. Because it is God who works man, their destination is assured. Since God created man, He leads them. Since He saves, He’ll thoroughly save them. Man He’ll completely gain. Since He created man and manages them, He must be responsible for their fate. He’ll bring them to their proper destination. And this is the work done by the Creator.
