Chorus

When you eat and drink the words of God,

measure your own real state against them.

When finding shortcomings in your life,

you must find a path to deal with them,

turn your back on incorrect

motivations and notions.

Verse 1

If you always try hard in this,

pouring your heart into these things,

you will have a path to follow,

a proper state will be maintained.

Verse 2

Only then will you be someone

who carries burdens for their life,

and only then you’ll be someone

who carries true faith deep inside, true faith deep inside.

Chorus

When you eat and drink the words of God,

measure your own real state against them.

When finding shortcomings in your life,

you must find a path to deal with them,

turn your back on incorrect

motivations and notions.

Verse 3

Why is it when reading God’s words,

some can’t put them into practice?

Isn’t it because they toy with life?

They’re unable to grasp what’s key.

Verse 4

And they have no path to practice.

It is because they can’t measure

their own states up against God’s words,

and their states they cannot master,

and their states they cannot master.

Chorus

When you eat and drink the words of God,

measure your own real state against them.

When finding shortcomings in your life,

you must find a path to deal with them,

turn your back on incorrect

motivations and notions.

Bridge

And as for how to put aside

all the enjoyments of the flesh,

how to lay down self-righteousness,

and how you should transform yourself,

how to improve your caliber,

and from which aspect you should start,

these are all truly the real things,

truly the real things all these are.

Chorus

When you eat and drink the words of God,

measure your own real state against them.

When finding shortcomings in your life,

you must find a path to deal with them,

turn your back on incorrect

motivations and notions.
