Verse 1

Don’t pay attention to negative things.

Put aside what brings you down,

leave all that behind.

In all things and at all times,

maintain a heart of seeking God,

a heart of submission to Him.

Chorus

Being able to perform your duty

to the satisfaction of God,

that is the first step, that is the first step.

When you’re able to understand the truth,

enter the reality of God’s words,

then you’ll be perfect, you will be perfect.

Verse 2

If you find you have weakness,

but you’re not controlled,

and still perform your duty, it’s a positive act.

The elderly have religious notions,

but you can pray and read God’s words,

sing hymns and submit yourselves.

Chorus

Being able to perform your duty

to the satisfaction of God,

that is the first step, that is the first step.

When you’re able to understand the truth,

enter the reality of God’s words,

then you’ll be perfect, you will be perfect.

Bridge

No matter what you can do,

what function you can perform,

put your all into it, put your all into it.

Use all the strength that you have,

do not wait passively.

Give it all to God, give it all to God.

No matter what you can do,

what function you can perform,

put your all into it, put your all into it.

Use all the strength that you have,

do not wait passively.

Give it all to God, give it all to God.

Chorus

Being able to perform your duty

to the satisfaction of God,

that is the first step, that is the first step.

When you’re able to understand the truth,

enter the reality of God’s words,

then you’ll be perfect, you will be perfect,

then you’ll be perfect, you will be perfect.
