I

God, Your work is too real, full of righteousness and holiness;

You have been patiently working for so long all for our sake.

In the past I believed in God but had no likeness of man,

Disobeying and grieving You yet unaware of that;

Ashamed, remorseful, and indebted to You, today I have just understood.

God, it’s You who have given me love, and only in judgment and chastisement have I understood.

Seeing Your loveliness I have just truly known my corruption.

So many times looking back at the path I have walked,

I realize that judgment and chastisement are blessings to me;

And I know Your true love for mankind.

You are worthy of man’s love.

Without Your severe judgment, I would not be what I am today.

Facing Your true love, I feel grateful and indebted.

It’s Your work that has saved me,

So that I’m transformed in my disposition,

And I have no sorrows or sufferings, full of joy in my heart.

God, it’s You who have given me love, so that I can be fortunate to come before You,

And pursue to know You; this is the greatest blessing in my life.

So many times looking back at the path I have walked,

If I still care for myself, I’m really too disobedient.

To know myself and love You more purely in the end,

I should suffer refining.
