362 God Allows No Created Being to Cheat Him
Verse 1
Since you’ve resolved to serve God,
He will not let you go.
God hates evil and is jealous for humanity.
Since your words are on the altar,
God won’t let you run off,
nor will He tolerate your serving two masters.
Pre-chorus 1
Did you think you could love another
after giving God your word?
Did you think you could casually
make vows with your tongue?
How could He allow people
to make a fool of Him this way?
Chorus
God will have you serve Him once again,
picking up your past determination.
He will not tolerate any creation that cheats Him.
Verse 2
How could you swear oaths
by the throne of the Most High?
Did you think your oaths had passed away?
Though flesh might pass, your oaths do not.
God will condemn you through them.
But you think you can place words before Him
and serve evil spirits in your hearts.
Pre-chorus 2
Could His wrath tolerate
such animals that cheat Him?
God must carry out His decrees
and take back such false pious ones
to “wait on” Him like oxen,
at the mercy of His sword.
Chorus
God will have you serve Him once again,
picking up your past determination.
He will not tolerate any creation that cheats Him.
Bridge
Did you think you could just
make requests and lie to Him?
Did you think God had not seen
your words and deeds?
How could your words and deeds
not have been in His view?
How could He let people
deceive Him like that?
Chorus
God will have you serve Him once again,
picking up your past determination.
He will not tolerate any creation that cheats Him.
