642 The Resolve That the Descendants of Moab Should Have
Verse 1
No people are more backward or corrupt
than the descendants of Moab.
They don’t acknowledge that there is a God.
So only if they can be conquered,
only if they are able to love God,
only if these people can praise Him,
will this be the testimony of conquest.
Chorus
In the end you will say, “We are cursed,
we are the descendants of Moab.
This is something we cannot change,
because this was decreed by God.
But our living out and our knowledge can change,
and we are resolved to satisfy Him.”
Verse 2
Although you are not Peter, you are able
to live out the image of Peter,
and you can bear witness like Job and Peter.
That is the greatest testimony.
In the end you’ll say, “We’re not the Israelites.
We’re the forsaken descendants of Moab.
We’re not worthy to enjoy God’s blessings.”
Chorus
In the end you will say, “We are cursed,
we are the descendants of Moab.
This is something we cannot change,
because this was decreed by God.
But our living out and our knowledge can change,
and we are resolved to satisfy Him.”
Bridge
“We are not Peter, we don’t have his caliber.
We’re not Job, we don’t have Paul’s resolve.
We cannot dedicate ourselves to God as much as Paul did.
But God has still lifted us up today.
So we must satisfy God and we’re willing.
Although we’re not qualified, we still have this resolve.”
Chorus
In the end you will say, “We are cursed,
we are the descendants of Moab.
This is something we cannot change,
because this was decreed by God.
But our living out and our knowledge can change,
and we are resolved to satisfy Him.”
