644 To Serve as a Foil Is a Lifelong Blessing
Verse 1
It’s because you live in the same realm as God
and in this filthy land with Him,
you’ve become His foils, been saved.
If He had not become flesh,
who would have mercy on you?
Who would care for you lowly people?
Who would care about you?
Verse 2
If God incarnate were not working amongst you,
when could you gain the salvation
that no one’s had before?
If God had not become flesh
to care for you and judge your sins,
wouldn’t you have fallen into Hades long ago?
Chorus
The work of being foils is suitable for you
because you’ve gained salvation
of God’s judgment due to this.
Don’t you see it’s a blessing to act as a true foil?
You’re just a foil but gain salvation
you’ve never had before.
Verse 3
If God had not become flesh,
humbled Himself amongst you,
what right would you have to be a foil
for the righteousness of God?
Aren’t you acting as foils because God became flesh
so you could gain such great salvation?
You’re saved because God became flesh.
Verse 4
If not for God incarnate living amongst you,
would you see you’re living in a hell on earth
worse than a pig or dog?
Haven’t the judgment and chastisement you’ve gained
been because you’re foils for His work in the flesh?
Chorus
The work of being foils is suitable for you
because you’ve gained salvation
of God’s judgment due to this.
Don’t you see it’s a blessing to act as a true foil?
You’re just a foil but gain salvation
you’ve never had before.
Bridge
Being a foil is your duty now,
and eternal blessings waiting in the future
will be the reward you deserve.
What you gain is not fleeting knowledge,
but a greater blessing, an eternal continuation of life.
Chorus
The work of being foils is suitable for you
because you’ve gained salvation
of God’s judgment due to this.
Don’t you see it’s a blessing to act as a true foil?
You’re just a foil but gain salvation
you’ve never had before.
