784 Only by Knowing God’s Work Can You Follow Till the End
Chorus
Don’t assume following God is an easy matter.
The key is you must know Him and His work,
have the will to suffer, sacrifice your life,
let Him perfect you.
This is the vision you should have.
Verse 1
If you only think of enjoying grace,
you would be wrong!
God is not here just to
give grace or be enjoyed.
If you can’t risk your life to follow Him,
abandon all you have,
then surely you can’t follow Him to the end!
Chorus
Don’t assume following God is an easy matter.
The key is you must know Him and His work,
have the will to suffer, sacrifice your life,
let Him perfect you.
This is the vision you should have.
Verse 2
You must have visions as a base.
What should you do in hardship?
Would you still follow Him?
Do not answer lightly.
Open your eyes wide to see what time it is.
You may be the temple’s pillars,
but worms will gnaw those away.
Pre-chorus
The temple will collapse,
for you lack many visions.
You only know your little world,
not the best way of seeking.
Chorus
Don’t assume following God is an easy matter.
The key is you must know Him and His work,
have the will to suffer, sacrifice your life,
let Him perfect you.
This is the vision you should have.
Verse 3
You don’t heed today’s vision
of God’s work in your hearts.
Have you thought that one day
God may send you to a strange place?
Imagine if God took everything,
would your drive and faith remain?
You must know the greatest vision, “God,”
as you follow Him.
Chorus
Don’t assume following God is an easy matter.
The key is you must know Him and His work,
have the will to suffer, sacrifice your life,
let Him perfect you.
This is the vision you should have.
