Verse 1

Over the course of experiencing

the Holy Spirit’s work,

you gradually get to know Him

as well as yourselves.

And amidst the numerous instances

of extreme suffering,

you gain a normal relationship with God

and it grows ever closer.

Pre-chorus 1

After much pruning and refinement,

you develop a true love for God.

Chorus

When you receive the work of the Holy Spirit,

you should focus on your entry at the same time,

seeing exactly the work of the Holy Spirit,

seeing your entry, trying to make His work part of it,

so that you may be better perfected by Him,

so that by this you will allow the substance

of the Holy Spirit’s work to be

wrought in you, wrought in you.

Verse 2

You must see that suffering and smiting,

they are not daunting;

what’s terrible is to have just the Spirit’s work

but not your own entry.

When the day comes that God’s work is finished,

you will have worked for nothing.

Though you may have experienced His work,

you will lack these two things:

Pre-chorus 2

You still won’t know the Holy Spirit;

you still won’t have your own entry.

Chorus

When you receive the work of the Holy Spirit,

you should focus on your entry at the same time,

seeing exactly the work of the Holy Spirit,

seeing your entry, trying to make His work part of it,

so that you may be better perfected by Him,

so that by this you will allow the substance

of the Holy Spirit’s work to be wrought in you.

Bridge

The enlightenment of man by the Holy Spirit

is not to sustain man’s passion;

it’s to open a way out for the entry of man,

to let them know the Holy Spirit,

and from that develop a heart

of reverence and adoration for God, for God.

Chorus

When you receive the work of the Holy Spirit,

you should focus on your entry at the same time,

seeing exactly the work of the Holy Spirit,

seeing your entry, trying to make His work part of it,

so that you may be better perfected by Him,

so that by this you will allow the substance

of the Holy Spirit’s work to be

wrought in you, wrought in you.
