294 Only You Can Save Me
I
Humble and hidden, You speak words to save man and accompany us in times of hardship.
You deeply love man as Your own flesh and blood, and You are worthy of man’s love.
Your judgment and chastisement are for man’s salvation, and You rain life down upon us.
Your heart truly is beautiful and good, Your disposition righteous, worthy of man’s praise.
If I believe in You but cannot love You and gain Your approval, I will regret it for the rest of my life.
If I believe in You but cannot love You, then I really have no conscience, and do not deserve to be called human.
II
You guide man with Your utterances, You live with man and You are our support.
You suffered first, becoming an exemplar for people to follow; You are faithful and lovable.
You show consideration for man’s weakness, and Your words sustain us, which can never be forgotten.
Your words are always with me as I walk the hard road, and I feel a sweetness in my heart.
Your words conquer me, Your judgment purifies me; only You can save me.
You prune me, try and refine me; only You can perfect me.
Your love is precious, Your love is most beautiful; You have left Your true feelings among us.
Your love is precious, Your love is most beautiful; You have left Your true feelings among us.
