443 Interpersonal Relationships Should Be Established According to God’s Words
Verse 1
If a proper relationship with God is what you want,
your heart must turn to God,
and then your relationships with others
will be just as it ought.
Without a proper relationship with God,
no matter what you do
to keep your relationships with others,
it’s man’s philosophy for living.
Pre-chorus 1
You are maintaining your status,
using solely a human lens
and a human philosophy,
so that from others you’ll earn praise.
You are not forming relationships
according to the word of God.
Chorus
If you don’t focus on the ties with people,
but on your proper connection with God,
if you’re willing to obey Him,
if you can give your heart to God,
your relationships will be proper
with people in your life.
Verse 2
These relationships don’t form
on the basis of the flesh,
but on the foundation of God’s love
is where they truly rest.
In the spirit there’s fellowship,
love, comfort and provision.
All is done upon the basis of
achieving God’s heart’s fulfillment.
Pre-chorus 2
These relationships aren’t maintained
by philosophy for living,
but through the burden for God,
they are formed naturally.
This requires no human effort,
just practice through the word of God.
Chorus
If you don’t focus on the ties with people,
but on your proper connection with God,
if you’re willing to obey Him,
if you can give your heart to God,
your relationships will be proper
with people in your life, with people in your life.
