79 The Work of Judgment Must Be Done by God Himself
Verse 1
Judgment is the use of truth to conquer mankind,
so there can be no question that God would appear
in the incarnate image to work among man.
This means that in the last days Christ will use truth
to teach people across the world
and make all truths be known to them.
This is God’s work of judgment.
Verse 2
Many are uneasy with God’s second incarnation.
It’s hard for them to believe God will become flesh
to do the work of judgment, but God must tell you
the work of God goes far beyond what man can expect,
and is hard for man to accept.
For people are just maggots on the earth,
while God is supreme.
Pre-chorus 1
God is the One who fills the universe.
Man’s mind is just a foul water pit,
breeding nothing but maggots,
while each stage of work
led by God’s thinking distills His wisdom.
Chorus
The work of judgment is God’s alone;
it must be done only by God Himself.
Man cannot do it in God’s place.
Verse 3
Man wants to contend with God, it’s clear who will lose.
God exhorts you, don’t think you’re worth more than gold.
If some accept God’s judgment, why are you unable?
How much higher do you think you stand above others?
If others bow before the truth,
why can’t you do it also?
God’s work cannot be stopped.
Pre-chorus 2
He won’t repeat the work of His judgment
because of some “contribution” of yours,
and you will be buried in regret
for missing out on a chance this precious.
Chorus
The work of judgment is God’s alone;
it must be done only by God Himself.
Man cannot do it in God’s place.
Bridge
If you do not believe God’s word, then just wait
till heaven’s great white throne judges you!
Know that all the Israelites denied Jesus,
yet the fact that He redeemed man
still extended throughout the universe
and to the ends of the earth.
Didn’t God make this reality long ago?
If you still wait for Jesus to take you to heaven,
then you are a stubborn piece of deadwood.
You are a false believer Jesus won’t acknowledge,
disloyal to the truth, seeking only to be blessed.
He’ll show you no mercy,
casting you into the lake of fire to burn
for thousands of years.
Chorus
The work of judgment is God’s alone;
it must be done only by God Himself.
Man cannot do it in God’s place, oh, in God’s place.
