599 To Live for Performing Your Duty Is Meaningful
Verse 1
Those who accept God’s work of the last days
are those who are most intelligent.
After years of being judged and chastised in many ways,
they come to know the purpose of God’s management.
They also come to understand the mystery
of God’s management and salvation of humanity.
They understand God’s will and know His sovereignty.
Pre-chorus 1
They feel that they are living enriched lives,
lives enriched with ease, lives enriched with meaning.
Chorus
God allows you to live; if you can live for God
and live to perform your duty as God’s created being,
then you are living a life of meaning.
Verse 2
If you live the life of a corpse that simply walks,
devoid of spirit and denying truth,
living only for the flesh, your life has no meaning at all.
There’s no value for your life, no value and no worth.
From all mankind, you’re God’s predestined and chosen,
born in the realm of the great red dragon.
God allows you to perform your duty.
Pre-chorus 2
God favors you and asks that you expend for Him
and fulfill a created being’s duty.
Now you live to spread God’s kingdom gospel
and testify to Him, and this God approves.
Chorus
God allows you to live; if you can live for God
and live to perform your duty as God’s created being,
then you are living a life of meaning.
Bridge
God gives you this chance, to live in this way,
to give of yourselves to Him.
You should treasure this chance
and feel honor and pride.
It’s a very rare chance in this era and time.
God carefully chooses, and He has chosen you.
This is your chance and your blessing.
Of the blessings of the saints, down through the ages,
these blessings to you are even greater!
Chorus
God allows you to live; if you can live for God
and live to perform your duty as God’s created being,
then you are living a life of meaning.
