Verse 1

When Abraham offered Isaac,

God saw his sincerity and obedience clearly,

and he passed God’s test successfully.

But of being God’s confidant and one who knew God,

still he was far from worthy.

And God’s disposition he couldn’t see.

He was far from being of one mind with God

and doing His will.

Chorus

Ever since He made man,

God’s yearned for a group of faithful overcomers

who know His disposition to walk with Him.

This wish has never changed.

It’s always stayed the same.

His hopes have stayed the same.

Verse 2

And within His heart, anxious and lonely,

God remained sadly.

He needed His plan to unfold quickly

for His management plan to be done.

He needed to select and gain those who were correct

for quickly bringing His will to effect.

This was God’s eager desire

and remains unchanged to this day.

Chorus

Ever since He made man,

God’s yearned for a group of faithful overcomers

who know His disposition to walk with Him.

This wish has never changed.

It’s always stayed the same.

His hopes have stayed the same.

Verse 3

No matter how long He will wait,

regardless of how hard the road ahead,

how far off the objectives He yearns for are,

God has never given up or changed what He expects;

His hopes for man stand.

Since this was said, can you understand part of His wish?

Your realization might not be deep right now,

but it will become something profound eventually in time.

Chorus

Ever since He made man,

God’s yearned for a group of faithful overcomers

who know His disposition to walk with Him.

This wish has never changed.

It’s always stayed the same.

His hopes have stayed the same.
