Intro

No matter what God does or the means by which He acts,

regardless of the cost, regardless of His goal,

the purpose of His actions doesn’t change.

All that God does involves saving man.

Verse 1

God’s purpose is to work His words into man,

also what He requires and His will for man.

He wants to work into man all that He believes

to be positive in line with His steps,

so that man can understand His heart,

and truly comprehend His essence,

allowing them to obey His rule and plans,

with the shunning of evil and fear of Him.

Chorus

Everything God does is needed,

and has remarkable meaning.

All that He does is for His management,

and for the salvation of mankind.

Verse 2

Because Satan is the foil

and the service object in God’s work,

man is often given to it.

God uses this means so people may see

its evil, ugliness, and hatefulness

within its attacks, its temptations.

That causes people to hate it, so they see,

so they recognize negative things.

Bridge

This process allows men to free themselves

from Satan’s control, charges, and attacks—

until, thanks to all of God’s words,

their faith and their obedience,

their knowledge and fear of Him,

they triumph over, triumph over

all the attacks and accusations,

completely delivered from Satan.

Chorus

Everything God does is needed,

and has remarkable meaning.

All that He does is for His management,

and for the salvation of mankind.
