God created this world and brought man into it,

a living being to whom God gave life.

Then man had parents and kin, no longer alone,

destined to live in God’s ordainment.

It’s the life breath from God that supports each living being

throughout their growth into adulthood.

During all this process, they believe that it is

just thanks to their parents’ love and care.

Not one single man whom God cares for day and night

takes initiative to worship Him.

God continues to work just as He’s planned on man,

who seems to be beyond any hope.

And He hopes that one day, man will wake from his dream,

see the value and purpose of life,

understand what it cost God to give man everything,

how He longs for man’s return to Him.

Yes, He longs for man’s return to Him.

None believes that man lives and grows up under God’s care.

They think man’s growth is from life’s instinct.

For they don’t know who gave life or from whence it came,

how life’s instinct creates miracles.

Oh, they think that the food that they eat sustains life,

that man lives because he perseveres,

that man exists by beliefs;

they are blind to God’s providence.

They then squander the God-given life.

Not one single man whom God cares for day and night

takes initiative to worship Him.

God continues to work just as He’s planned on man,

who seems to be beyond any hope.

And He hopes that one day, man will wake from his dream,

see the value and purpose of life,

understand what it cost God to give man everything,

how He longs for man’s return to Him.

Yes, He longs for man’s return to Him.

Not one single man whom God cares for day and night

takes initiative to worship Him.

God continues to work just as He’s planned on man,

who seems to be beyond any hope.

And He hopes that one day, man will wake from his dream,

see the value and purpose of life,

understand what it cost God to give man everything,

how He longs for man’s return to Him.

Yes, He longs for man’s return to Him.
