73 Judgment and Chastisement Reveal God’s Salvation
Verse 1
God judges, condemns, and chastises you now,
so you might know yourself and your worth,
so you might change your disposition,
and you can see that all God’s actions are done righteously,
and according to His disposition and work’s requirements.
Pre-chorus
You’ll know He is the righteous God
who loves, judges, and chastises man,
working according to His plan for mankind’s salvation.
Chorus
God has not come to kill or to lay mankind to waste.
God has come to judge and curse, to chastise and to save.
Verse 2
If you only know that you are of low rank,
corrupt and disobedient,
but don’t know that God wants to make plain
His salvation through the judgment
and the chastisement He does in you now,
then you can’t experience or move on (or you can’t move on).
Chorus
God has not come to kill or to lay mankind to waste.
God has come to judge and curse, to chastise and to save.
Bridge
Until the end of His 6,000-year plan,
till He reveals the outcome for each type of man,
God’s work on earth will be for salvation,
to bring those who love Him to completion
and into submission under His dominion.
Chorus
God has not come to kill or to lay mankind to waste.
God has come to judge and curse, to chastise and to save.
God has not come to kill or to lay mankind to waste.
God has come to judge and curse, to chastise and to save.
