166 May We Know God’s Loveliness
Verse 1
We brothers and sisters living in this land of filth
are deeply persecuted by the great red dragon.
And we have developed a hatred for it.
It hinders our love for God
and entices our greediness for our future prospects.
Pre-chorus 1
It tempts us to be negative, to resist God.
It has deceived, corrupted and ravaged us until now,
to the point that we are unable
to repay God’s love with our hearts.
Chorus
May God enlighten us, so we can know His loveliness,
love our God in the depths of our hearts,
and show our love for Him in different roles.
May God bestow on us unswerving hearts of love for Him.
This is what God hopes for, this is what God hopes for,
this is what God hopes for.
Verse 2
We have the drive in our hearts, but in spite of ourselves,
we are powerless; all of us are its victims.
For this very reason,
we hate the red dragon from our very core,
and we can only wait for God to destroy it.
Pre-chorus 2
We should set our heart on
carrying out God’s will, which is loving God.
This is the path that we should walk.
It’s how we should spend our life.
We should take God’s will as our goal
and live out a life full of meaning and brilliance.
Chorus
May God enlighten us, so we can know His loveliness,
love our God in the depths of our hearts,
and show our love for Him in different roles.
May God bestow on us unswerving hearts of love for Him.
This is what God hopes for, this is what God hopes for,
this is what God hopes for.
Bridge
In this, we will be able to die without regrets,
with a heart full of gratification and comfort.
Are you someone with that kind of resolution?
Chorus
May God enlighten us, so we can know His loveliness,
love our God in the depths of our hearts,
and show our love for Him in different roles.
May God bestow on us unswerving hearts of love for Him.
This is what God hopes for.
May God enlighten us, so we can know His loveliness,
love our God in the depths of our hearts,
and show our love for Him in different roles.
May God bestow on us unswerving hearts of love for Him.
This is what God hopes for, this is what God hopes for,
this is what God hopes for, this is what God hopes for.
