674 All God Does Is to Perfect and Love Man
Intro
No matter what you gain in time,
today you see God’s work in you is love.
Verse 1
From the time of service-doers till today,
people can see clearly
how wondrous is the work of God.
Man’s brain cannot fathom
the ways God works.
Man can see how small their stature,
and how great their disobedience.
Pre-chorus 1
God cursed man for an effect,
He did not put man to death.
With His words God cursed man,
but His curse did not befall man.
He cursed man’s disobedience,
and so when God uttered curses,
His purpose was also to make man perfect.
Chorus
God judges man, God curses man.
But either way He makes man perfect.
He has to judge, He has to curse.
He perfects what’s impure in man.
Verse 2
God never did such work before,
He now works upon you,
so you can appreciate His wisdom.
Though you’ve suffered pain within,
your heart is steadfast and at peace.
It’s your great blessing to be able
to enjoy this stage of God’s work.
Pre-chorus 2
God’s dealing is also to save you.
Although it may cause you pain,
when your disposition is changed,
you’ll see His work is wise.
On that day you’ll understand God’s will.
You may not see it clearly now,
one day you’ll see God’s work today is valuable.
Chorus
God judges man, God curses man.
But either way He makes man perfect.
He has to judge, He has to curse.
He perfects what’s impure in man.
Verse 3
When you see God’s glory has arrived,
and you see it’s meaningful to love God,
you come to know the human life,
your spirit is set free,
your flesh lives in the world of loving God,
your life is full of joy,
you’re always so close to God, and you look unto God,
then you’ll truly know the value of God’s work today.
Every step of God’s work, be it harsh words,
judgment or chastisement,
is right and it makes man perfect.
