792 If You Wish to Truly Know God
Verse 1
If you truly wish to know God,
look beyond the three stages of His work,
look beyond the stories of His past work.
If you don’t try to know Him this way,
you’ll limit and confine Him,
and see Him as small.
Verse 2
You would never know God’s wonder,
His supremacy and almightiness,
and the scope of His authority.
You could not fully accept the truth
that God rules all things,
or know God’s true identity.
Chorus
If you know God within a limited scope,
then what you receive is limited.
Expand your horizons, seek full understanding
of the scope of God’s work,
His management, His rule,
and all things He governs.
Through these things you should
understand God’s actions,
if you truly wish to know God.
Verse 3
With this understanding,
before you know it, you will feel
that God rules, cares, and provides
for all things among them,
and you will feel you’re a member,
a part of all things.
Bridge
As God provides for all things,
you accept God’s rule and provision.
This is a fact no one can deny.
Chorus
If you know God within a limited scope,
then what you receive is limited.
Expand your horizons, seek full understanding
of the scope of God’s work,
His management, His rule,
and all things He governs.
Through these things you should
understand God’s actions,
if you truly wish to know God.
