717 Witnesses for God Must Have a Change in Disposition
Verse 1
The change of man’s disposition
comes from various kinds of God’s work.
Without such changes, man’s unable
to bear witness, be after God’s heart.
The change of man’s disposition
shows he’s freed from Satan and darkness.
He’s truly a model of God’s work.
He’s after God’s heart, he’s God’s witness.
Pre-chorus
Those who bear testimony to God
must have knowledge of Him.
Only this testimony is real,
only this shames Satan.
Chorus
God uses those who’ve come to know Him
through being pruned and being dealt with,
through undergoing His judgment
to bear testimony to Him.
He uses those who’ve been corrupted
and who have changed their disposition,
and thus have obtained His blessings
to bear testimony to Him.
Verse 2
Today God incarnate’s come to earth,
and His work He has come to perform.
He requires man to know Him,
obey Him and bear witness to Him—
to know His normal, practical work,
obey His work, words, at odds with man’s notion,
witness to His work of saving man
and the deeds He’s done to conquer them.
Pre-chorus
Those who bear testimony to God
must have knowledge of Him.
Only this testimony is real,
only this shames Satan.
Chorus
God uses those who’ve come to know Him
through being pruned and being dealt with,
through undergoing His judgment
to bear testimony to Him.
He uses those who’ve been corrupted
and who have changed their disposition,
and thus have obtained His blessings
to bear testimony to Him.
Outro
He doesn’t need praise by mouth from man,
nor need the praise and testimony
of Satan’s ilk whom God has not saved.
Only those who know God can truly
bear testimony to Him;
only those who’ve been transformed
can be qualified for this.
