Intro

All God does is practical.

Nothing He does is empty.

Verse 1

God comes among humans

as a regular person.

He won’t do a little then leave,

or speak only a few words.

He comes among humanity

to feel the pain of the world.

Verse 2

He feels this pain in exchange for

a destination for man.

Is this not practical work?

Parents may pay a real price

for the sake of their children,

showing that they are sincere.

Pre-chorus

As God incarnate does this,

He is most sincere

and faithful to mankind.

Chorus

The essence of God is faithful.

He does what He says He’ll do;

whatever He does, He achieves it.

All that God does for man is sincere.

Verse 3

He doesn’t simply say things.

When He says He’ll pay a price,

when He says He’ll take man’s pain

and suffer for them instead,

He comes to live among them

and suffers this pain Himself.

Bridge

Then all things in the universe

will acknowledge that all God does

is right, righteous, and realistic.

This is powerful evidence.

Chorus

The essence of God is faithful.

He does what He says He’ll do;

whatever He does, He achieves it.

All that God does for man is sincere.

Verse 4

Man’s end will be wonderful,

and all of those who remain

will praise God and know His deeds

were done out of love of man.

His good and beautiful essence

shows in His incarnation.

Verse 5

God’s words and deeds are firm and true.

His plans are done practically;

He pays a real price for them.

He doesn’t merely say things.

Thus, God is a righteous God;

God is a faithful God.

Chorus

The essence of God is faithful.

He does what He says He’ll do;

whatever He does, He achieves it.

All that God does for man is sincere.
