899 God’s Intention of Saving Man Will Not Change
Verse 1
Now man knows a bit of God’s dispositions,
of what God has and is, of the works that He does.
Yet most of their understandings are nothing
more than words on a page, theories in mind.
Chorus
God doesn’t want anyone to feel
abandoned or left out in the cold.
He wants to see a firm heart to follow the road
of knowing God and seeking truth.
Verse 2
What people lack is a true knowledge
and a view that come from real experience.
God tries various ways to awaken man’s heart,
but there’s still a long road before it’s revived.
Chorus
God doesn’t want anyone to feel
abandoned or left out in the cold.
He wants to see a firm heart to follow the road
of knowing God and seeking truth.
He wants everyone to march on,
carry no burden, take no misgiving.
Bridge
No matter what wrongs you have done,
no matter how far you’ve gone astray,
don’t stop your pursuit of knowing God.
You should continue marching on.
God’s heart to save man will never change.
This is what’s most precious of God.
Chorus
God doesn’t want anyone to feel
abandoned or left out in the cold.
He wants to see a firm heart to follow the road
of knowing God and seeking truth.
He wants everyone to march on,
carry no burden, take no misgiving.
