835 God Only Perfects Those Who Truly Love Him
Verse 1
If you wish to be perfected by God,
learn to experience everything now,
whether it’s good or bad.
Learn to be enlightened in all you face.
From it you must benefit.
Verse 2
If you wish to be perfected by God,
don’t ever let it make you be passive.
Stand on the side of God,
that’s how you should consider it.
Don’t you study it from the perspective of man.
Pre-chorus 1
If you wish to be perfected by God,
try this manner of experience now,
and your heart will be burdened for life,
you’ll always live in the light of His presence,
won’t easily deviate in your practice.
And great prospects will open up for you.
Chorus
There are so many opportunities
to be perfected by God, if you truly love Him.
There are so many possibilities
to be perfected by God, if you are determined
to be gained and perfected by Him,
to receive His blessing and His inheritance.
Verse 3
If you wish to be perfected by God,
it’s no use to only have resolution;
that is never enough.
To avoid mistakes in your practice,
knowledge is what you need.
Verse 4
Most people have limited themselves
to merely basking in God’s grace now.
What they do want to receive
is only some fleshly comforts from Him,
not higher revelations.
Pre-chorus 2
This shows their heart is still on the outside.
They don’t care if they can be made perfect.
Their lives are decadent and vulgar.
They just get by with the bare minimum,
adrift in a purposeless existence,
without achieving the slightest change.
Chorus
There are so many opportunities
to be perfected by God, if you truly love Him.
There are so many possibilities
to be perfected by God, if you are determined
to be gained and perfected by Him,
to receive His blessing and His inheritance.
Bridge
So few seek to enter God’s word in what they face
to gain more enriching things,
to become ones of greater wealth in His house
and receive more of His blessings.
Chorus
There are so many opportunities
to be perfected by God, if you truly love Him.
There are so many possibilities
to be perfected by God, if you are determined
to be gained and perfected by Him,
to receive His blessing and His inheritance.
There are so many opportunities to be perfected by God.
