1000 Time to Part Ways
Verse 1
At creation I prophesied in the last days
I’d make a group who’re of one mind with Me.
After making an example on earth,
I’d then return to My place.
Verse 2
Once man has done all I’ve asked of them,
I will no longer require anything of them.
Rather, we will trade stories of the old days,
and after, part company.
Chorus 1
I hope after we part ways,
man will carry on My “inheritance,”
mind My words, not forget My teachings,
nor disgrace My name.
I hope humans try their best
to satisfy Me after I’ve left.
I hope My word is the foundation of their lives,
and they can live up to My hopes.
Bridge 1
My heart’s always been concerned for them.
I’ve always been attached to them.
Verse 3
Humanity and I once gathered,
enjoying heaven’s blessings on earth.
I lived together with humans;
we have always loved one another.
Verse 4
Our days were filled with laughter,
but we also had our quarrels.
Still our love was built on this,
and our ties were never severed.
Chorus 2
They left a profound impression on Me
after many years of contact.
I’ve given them many things to enjoy,
for which they’ve always been doubly grateful.
Now our gatherings won’t be the same;
who can run from the time of parting?
We love each other, but what can be done?
Who dare violate the Father’s requirements?
Verse 5
I will return to My place
to complete another part of My work.
There’s no need to be too sad;
perhaps we will meet again.
Chorus 3
It’s My hope humans may please Me on earth.
My Spirit will confer grace on them.
Let unpleasantries be left in the past,
let love be always between us.
I have given humans so much love,
and they’ve paid a heavy price to love Me.
I hope humanity treasures our pure love,
so it will spread and be passed down forever.
Bridge 2
Let us be linked in love when we meet again,
so our love may stay forever,
and be praised by all people.
This would satisfy Me.
Outro
I would show My face,
smiling to humanity.
I hope all humans will remember
My exhortations.
