631 God’s Chastisement and Judgment Is the Light of Man’s Salvation
Verse 1
Living in the flesh is living in a human hell.
And without God’s chastisement and judgment,
like Satan, man’s unclean as well.
Only through chastisement and judgment
by God can man awaken,
despise his own flesh, despise the evil Satan.
Chorus
You should know God’s chastisement
and judgment is the light,
know that God’s judgment
is the light of man’s salvation,
and know that God’s judgment
is man’s best grace and protection.
There is no greater blessing,
there is no greater blessing.
Verse 2
If man wishes to be cleansed
and bring change to his disposition,
if he desires a life of meaning
and to fulfill his duty as God’s creature,
he must accept God’s chastisement and judgment
and not let discipline depart him,
so he can free himself from Satan,
so God’s light he can live in.
Chorus
You should know God’s chastisement
and judgment is the light,
know that God’s judgment
is the light of man’s salvation,
and know that God’s judgment
is man’s best grace and protection.
There is no greater blessing,
there is no greater blessing.
Bridge
God’s discipline frees man
from the influence of Satan,
it frees him from his own world,
so he may live in the light of God’s presence.
There is no better salvation.
There is no better salvation.
There is no better salvation.
There is no better salvation
than judgment and chastisement.
Chorus
You should know God’s chastisement
and judgment is the light,
know that God’s judgment
is the light of man’s salvation,
and know that God’s judgment
is man’s best grace and protection.
There is no greater blessing,
there is no greater blessing.
Outro
Accept His judgment, accept His judgment,
live in the light of God.
Accept His judgment, accept His judgment,
live in the light of God.
