354 None Care to Actively Understand God
Verse 1
When God is upset, He faces a mankind
who doesn’t pay attention to Him,
who follows Him, claims to love Him,
yet neglects what He feels.
How can His heart not hurt?
Pre-chorus
Even those who want to become
the confidants of God,
they don’t want to get close to Him,
know Him or care for His heart.
Chorus
God is lonely!
Not just because corrupt mankind opposes God,
but those who seek to be spiritual,
those who seek to know God,
even those willing to devote their lives to God
don’t understand His thoughts.
They don’t know His disposition or His emotions at all.
Oh, God is lonely, God is lonely.
Verse 2
In God’s management work,
though He sincerely works and speaks,
and faces man without reserve,
His followers are closed off to Him;
no one’s willing to get close,
mind His heart or His feelings.
Pre-chorus
Even those who want to become
the confidants of God,
they don’t want to get close to Him,
know Him or care for His heart.
Chorus
God is lonely!
Not just because corrupt mankind opposes God,
but those who seek to be spiritual,
those who seek to know God,
even those willing to devote their lives to God
don’t understand His thoughts.
They don’t know His disposition or His emotions at all.
Oh, God is lonely, God is lonely.
Bridge
When God is joyful, no one shares His happiness.
When misunderstood, His heart is uncomforted.
When His heart hurts inside,
no one is willing to listen to Him confide.
Verse 3
Through thousands of years
of management work,
none understands God’s emotions,
no one appreciates them
or stands alongside Him
to share His sorrows and joys.
Pre-chorus
Even those who want to become
the confidants of God,
they don’t want to get close to Him,
know Him or care for His heart.
Chorus
God is lonely!
Not just because corrupt mankind opposes God,
but those who seek to be spiritual,
those who seek to know God,
even those willing to devote their lives to God
don’t understand His thoughts.
They don’t know His disposition or His emotions at all.
Oh, God is lonely, God is lonely.
