Verse 1

During the Age of Law,

the work of guiding man

was done under Jehovah’s name;

here the first stage of work began.

The work at this stage was building

the temple and the altar,

with the law to guide Israel’s people

and in their midst to perform work.

His work extended from Israel,

so those who came later learned

that Jehovah was God Himself,

who made all creatures, heaven and earth.

Pre-chorus 1

He spread His work through Israel’s people,

then He extended it outward,

outward and further beyond them.

In the Age of Law this was God’s work.

Chorus

God’s true disposition is displayed

in the work He does in every age,

and both His name and the work He performs

change and are new when each new age is born.

Verse 2

During the Age of Grace,

the name of God was Jesus.

God was the God of salvation,

full of love and compassion.

For this stage God was with man,

His love and His compassion,

and His salvation accompanied

each and every person.

Only by accepting

Jesus’s presence and His name

could man gain peace, joy, His blessings,

His salvation and many graces.

Pre-chorus 2

Through Jesus’s crucifixion,

all of those who followed Him,

they received their salvation,

were forgiven all their sins.

Chorus

God’s true disposition is displayed

in the work He does in every age,

and both His name and the work He performs

change and are new when each new age is born.

Bridge

During the final days, His name is the Almighty—

Almighty God, who uses His power

to guide man, conquer, gain him.

And finally in the end, He brings the age to its close.

In every age at every stage, God’s disposition is shown.

Chorus

God’s true disposition is displayed

in the work He does in every age,

and both His name and the work He performs

change and are new when each new age is born.
