821 How to Bear Witness to God in Your Faith
Verse 1
After all the work of God that you’ve seen,
seen with your own eyes and experienced,
it would be sad to get right to the end
without performing the function you should.
When the gospel is spread in the future,
you should be able to share what you know,
testify to what you’ve gained in your heart,
sparing no effort in your doing so.
Pre-chorus
This is what should be attained by a created being.
Chorus
If you are resolved on
being one of God’s witnesses,
then you need to understand
what God loathes and what God loves.
You must come to know His disposition
through His work on you;
you must understand His will
and requirements of mankind
to truly testify about Him and perform your duty.
Verse 2
What’s the meaning of this stage of God’s work?
And just what is the effect of His work?
How much of it is carried out in man?
And what should man do in the work of God?
When you are able to speak clearly
of all the work done by God incarnate,
all the work He’s done since He came to earth,
then your testimony will be complete.
Pre-chorus
This is what should be attained by a created being.
Chorus
If you are resolved on
being one of God’s witnesses,
then you need to understand
what God loathes and what God loves.
You must come to know His disposition
through His work on you;
you must understand His will
and requirements of mankind
to truly testify about Him and perform your duty.
Bridge
When you can speak clearly of these five things:
the significance and content of His work,
and the substance and principles of His work,
His disposition represented by it,
then this will prove that you are now capable
of bearing truest testimony to God,
and that you possess the knowledge.
God’s requirements of you are not too high
and can be reached by all those who truly pursue.
Chorus
If you are resolved on
being one of God’s witnesses,
then you need to understand
what God loathes and what God loves.
You must come to know His disposition
through His work on you;
you must understand His will
and requirements of mankind
to truly testify about Him
and perform your duty, your duty.
