679 Refinement Is the Best Means for God to Perfect Man
Verse 1
The greater God’s refinement,
the more people’s hearts love God.
It benefits them in life
to have torment in their hearts.
They’ll be at peace before God
and become closer with Him.
They can see God’s supreme love
and His supreme salvation.
Chorus
Refinement is the best means
for man to be perfected.
Only trials and refinement
make people truly love God.
Verse 2
Peter went through refinement;
it happened hundreds of times.
Job went through several trials.
And you too should be refined.
You must go through hundreds of trials,
must rely on this step,
so you can satisfy God,
and God will make you perfect.
Chorus
Refinement is the best means
for man to be perfected.
Only trials and refinement
make people truly love God, yes, truly love God.
Verse 3
When refined to a certain point,
you’ll see your weakness and troubles.
You’ll see how much you’re lacking,
that your problems you can’t beat.
You’ll see your own defiance.
Trials will show you your true state.
Trials will make you better
able to be perfected.
Chorus
Refinement is the best means
for man to be perfected.
Only trials and refinement
make people truly love God.
Bridge
If people go without hardship,
they will lack true love for God.
If they are not tested within,
not subject to refinement,
then their hearts will always float
away in the outside world.
Chorus
Refinement is the best means
for man to be perfected.
Only trials and refinement
make people truly love God,
yes, truly love God, truly love God.
