780 God Wants to Gain Those Who Have True Knowledge of Him
Verse 1
To know God’s disposition,
all He has and all He is
helps people gain confidence,
obey and fear Him,
no longer blindly follow,
nor blindly worship Him.
God does not want fools,
but those who have clear understanding
of God’s disposition.
They can act as God’s witnesses.
Seeing His righteousness and loveliness,
they would never abandon Him.
Chorus
Only with true understanding
can people gain true belief,
can they be true followers,
can they show true obedience,
can they show true reverence.
Only they will give their heart to God,
open up to Him!
This is what God wants,
for all they do and think
can pass His test and bear witness.
Verse 2
If your heart lacks clarity
or you’re confused on God’s existence,
or His disposition,
His plan to save mankind,
then your faith cannot gain His praise.
God won’t want this follower.
He does not like this type before Him.
They do not understand Him,
they cannot give their heart to Him,
their heart is closed to Him,
so their faith contains impurities,
they are blind in their following.
Chorus
Only with true understanding
can people gain true belief,
can they be true followers,
can they show true obedience,
can they show true reverence.
Only they will give their heart to God,
open up to Him!
This is what God wants,
for all they do and think
can pass His test and bear witness.
