Verse 1

The 6,000 years of God’s work

are divided in three stages:

the Age of Law, the Age of Grace,

and the Age of Kingdom.

All to save corrupt man and battle Satan,

both divided into three stages of work.

Pre-chorus 1

This battle with Satan

is for mankind’s salvation,

which can’t succeed in one stage,

so the battle is in phases.

The war is waged upon Satan

according to the needs of man

and the extent of Satan’s corruption.

Chorus

The work of man’s salvation

is divided in three stages,

and so is the battle with Satan.

But the result of the battle

comes through giving grace to man,

becoming man’s sin offering,

conquering and perfecting man.

Verse 2

God doesn’t battle Satan with weapons,

but works man’s life and saves him,

changing man’s disposition,

so man can bear witness for Him.

And this is how Satan

will be defeated and shamed.

When it is bound, man will be saved.

Verse 3

The substance of man’s salvation

is battle waged with Satan,

the war with Satan shown

in salvation of man.

The stage of the last days

when man will be conquered

is the last stage of battle,

saving man fully from Satan.

Pre-chorus 2

If man’s freed from Satan’s grasp,

Satan will be shamed.

Man will be taken back,

Satan will be finished.

Man will be spoils

and Satan will be punished.

The work of saving man

will be fully accomplished.

Chorus

The work of man’s salvation

is divided in three stages,

and so is the battle with Satan.

But the result of the battle

comes through giving grace to man,

becoming man’s sin offering,

conquering and perfecting man,

conquering and perfecting man,

conquering and perfecting man.
