Verse 1

What should I seek in my faith?

Now I have had an awakening.

Before, I believed in the Lord just for blessings.

I enjoyed God's grace quite greedily.

But judgment awakened my heart.

Verse 2

I said all the right things in prayer,

but in practice did whatever I wanted.

What I did for God was for my future and fate.

The truth I did not practice.

Then judgment awakened my heart.

Pre-chorus 1

I worshiped God living in religious rites,

but in my heart, I was empty, not filled.

My corrupt disposition was not cleansed.

How could I carry out God's will?

Chorus

God's words are like a double-edged sword,

piercing my heart and spirit.

I've suffered much through trials and refinement,

my corruption being cleansed.

I've tasted God’s love, and I am determined

to seek and gain the truth.

I will faithfully fulfill my duty to God

to repay His love and be His true witness.

Verse 3

In my faith I've enjoyed God's good grace,

but it doesn't mean I have gained life.

Without the truth I cannot live out the reality,

saying I loved God was just a lie.

But judgment awakened my heart.

Verse 4

No matter how devout or how many good deeds,

I was a hypocrite indeed.

In duty I made deals with God,

truly cheating and opposing Him.

Then judgment awakened my heart.

Pre-chorus 2

I have seen how deeply corrupted I am.

I need His judgment and purification.

I have been judged before Christ’s seat.

And my heart has been awakened.

Chorus

God's words are like a double-edged sword,

piercing my heart and spirit.

I've suffered much through trials and refinement,

my corruption being cleansed.

I've tasted God's love, and I am determined

to seek and gain the truth.

I will faithfully fulfill my duty to God

to repay His love and be His true witness.

The Church of Almighty God, Eastern Lightning, came into being because of the appearance and work of Almighty God—the returned Lord Jesus—Christ of the last days. It is made up of all those who accept Almighty God's work in the last days and are conquered and saved by His words. It was entirely founded by Almighty God Himself and is led by Him as the Shepherd. It was definitely not created by a person. Christ is the truth, the way, and the life. God's sheep hear God's voice. As long as you read the words of Almighty God, you will see God has appeared.
