521 Only One Who Pursues the Truth Can Be Made Perfect by God
Intro
Daily matters are viewed as either
significant or minor trifles.
The big ones are seen as important
and considered to be sent by God.
Verse 1
But when these big matters play out,
man’s caliber is poor, they’re immature,
so they’re not up to fulfilling God’s will,
can’t gain revelations or real knowledge.
With regard to matters that are small,
these are simply ignored by man
and allowed to slip away slowly,
thus they lose chances to be tested.
Chorus
When people reject the trials
and all the tests that God sends them,
when they shirk away from them,
God has got just one attitude.
God spurns such people with all His heart.
This is God’s final decision
for those who don’t walk in God’s way,
who’ve never feared God nor shunned evil.
Verse 2
When you always overlook people,
things and situations God arranges,
it means that you are renouncing
God’s perfection and leadership of you.
When God arranges a situation,
He is always there, watching in secret,
watching your heart, your thoughts, your reflections,
watching how you think and how you act.
Bridge
If you are a careless human being,
not serious about God’s way, words, truth,
you won’t be mindful, or pay notice
to that which God wants to complete.
You won’t pay attention to His demands
when He arranges situations;
you won’t know how people, things, matters
relate to the truth or God’s intentions.
Chorus
When people reject the trials
and all the tests that God sends them,
when they shirk away from them,
God has got just one attitude.
God spurns such people with all His heart.
This is God’s final decision
for those who don’t walk in God’s way,
who’ve never feared God nor shunned evil.
Verse 3
After facing trials over and over,
still you don’t magnify God in your heart
or treat the situations He creates
as the trials and tests set by God.
Instead you reject all these chances
that God continues to bestow on you,
you let them slip by again and again.
Is this not a huge defiance by man?
Chorus
When people reject the trials
and all the tests that God sends them,
when they shirk away from them,
God has got just one attitude.
God spurns such people with all His heart.
This is God’s final decision
for those who don’t walk in God’s way,
who’ve never feared God nor shunned evil.
