431 The Fruits of Quieting Your Heart Before God
Verse 1
To come before God, make His words your life,
you must first be quiet before Him.
Only when you’re quiet,
will He enlighten, make you understand.
The quieter man is before God,
the more they gain from His enlightenment.
So man must have piety and faith—
the only way to perfection.
Chorus
Only when you’re truly quiet before God
will you understand His words of today,
and rightly practice Holy Spirit’s enlightenment,
able to clearly grasp God’s intentions,
with clear direction in your service,
understand the moving and guidance of the Holy Spirit,
able to live under guidance of the Holy Spirit.
These are the results that being quiet before God will achieve.
Verse 2
The key to entering a spiritual life
is to become quiet before God.
All your spiritual training will be effective,
if you quiet yourself before Him.
If you cannot quiet your heart before God,
you will not be able to receive the work of the Holy Spirit.
Chorus
Only when you’re truly quiet before God
will you understand His words of today,
and rightly practice Holy Spirit’s enlightenment,
able to clearly grasp God’s intentions,
with clear direction in your service,
understand the moving and guidance of the Holy Spirit,
able to live under guidance of the Holy Spirit.
These are the results that being quiet before God will achieve.
Verse 3
When people are not clear about the word of God,
without a way of practice or cannot grasp God’s intentions,
and when people lack principles of how to act,
it’s entirely because their hearts are not quiet before God.
Chorus
Only when you’re truly quiet before God
will you understand His words of today,
and rightly practice Holy Spirit’s enlightenment,
able to clearly grasp God’s intentions,
with clear direction in your service,
understand the moving and guidance of the Holy Spirit,
able to live under guidance of the Holy Spirit.
These are the results that being quiet before God will achieve.
Outro
The aim of being quiet is to be earnest and pragmatic,
be clear about God’s word and in the end,
understand truth and know God.
