Intro

You should know that the testimony to God’s defeat of Satan

lies within the loyalty and obedience of man,

as does the testimony to His full conquest of man.

Chorus

The duty of your faith in God

is to bear witness to Him,

to be loyal to Him and none other,

and to be obedient to the end.

Verse 1

Before God begins His next step of work,

how will you bear witness to Him?

How will you be loyally obedient to Him?

Are you loyal to your function, or will you give up?

Will you submit to His arrangements,

or flee midway to avoid His chastisement?

God chastises so that you’ll bear witness to Him,

loyal and obedient.

Chorus

The duty of your faith in God

is to bear witness to Him,

to be loyal to Him and none other,

and to be obedient to the end.

Verse 2

Chastisement now is to unfold

the next step of God’s work

and to allow the work to progress unhindered.

So be wise, don’t treat your life

and its significance like worthless sand.

Can you know what His work to come will be,

or how His work will unfold?

Verse 3

You should know the significance

of your experience of God’s work,

and the meaning of your faith in Him.

God has truly come to bring this age to an end.

But you must know that He’ll begin a new age,

begin new work, and most of all,

He’ll spread the gospel of the kingdom.

Bridge

Know that the present work is only to begin an age

and lay foundation to spread the gospel in the time to come

and bring the age to an end in the future.

God’s work is not as simple as you may think,

nor is it as worthless as you may believe.

You should give your life to His work,

and devote yourself to His glory.

Long has God yearned for you

to bear witness to Him, to spread His gospel.

You should understand what’s in His heart.

Chorus

The duty of your faith in God

is to bear witness to Him,

to be loyal to Him and none other,

and to be obedient to the end.
