Verse 1

Regardless of what you may seek,

it all goes towards the same things:

It’s to be perfected by God,

it’s to experience God’s word.

And it’s to satisfy His heart,

to discover His loveliness.

It’s for seeking a path in real experience,

with the aim to throw off

your own rebellious disposition.

Chorus

Seeking perfection by God,

or seeking to bear witness for Him,

it’s in order to know Him,

that the work He does in you is not in vain,

and so ultimately, you learn the reality of God,

you come to know His greatness,

more so to know His humbleness, His hiddenness,

and to know the work that God does in you.

Verse 2

Regardless of what you may seek,

it all goes towards the same things:

It is for you to achieve

a normal state within yourself.

It’s to fully conform to God’s will,

to become a correct person,

to have correct motive in everything you do.

The reason for all these things:

knowing God and achieving growth of life.

Chorus

Seeking perfection by God,

or seeking to bear witness for Him,

it’s in order to know Him,

that the work He does in you is not in vain,

and so ultimately, you learn the reality of God,

you come to know His greatness,

more so to know His humbleness, His hiddenness,

and to know the work that God does in you.

Bridge

And though what you experience is God’s word,

what you experience are actual events,

the people, the matters and the things around you,

ultimately you are able to know God.

Finally, you’re able to be perfected by God.

Chorus

Seeking perfection by God,

or seeking to bear witness for Him,

it’s in order to know Him,

that the work He does in you is not in vain,

and so ultimately, you learn the reality of God,

you come to know His greatness,

more so to know His humbleness, His hiddenness,

and to know the work that God does in you.
