Intro

When God gives trials to man,

what is it that He wants to achieve?

He’s hoping man will give his heart to Him.

Verse 1

As a new follower, your reliance is low;

it’s hard to know what to do when you are new to the truth.

In the face of your trials, you can pray sincerely,

let God rule your heart, give all you hold dear.

Verse 2

The more you listen, the more you understand

the meanings in preaching, the truth in God’s word,

the more you’ll grow, the more He’ll expect;

His standards will grow with you in respect.

Chorus

When God gives you a trial, He will see where you stand,

if your heart is with Him, with your flesh, or Satan.

When God gives you a trial, He will see where you stand.

Will you be on His side, in harmony with His mind?

Verse 3

The more you hear, the more you know,

the more you’ll absorb God’s truth, your stature will mature.

The more you know, the more He’ll expect.

Yes, His standards will grow with you in respect, in respect.

Chorus

When God gives you a trial, He will see where you stand,

if your heart is with Him, with your flesh, or Satan.

When God gives you a trial, He will see where you stand.

Will you be on His side, in harmony with His mind,

in harmony with His mind?

Bridge

When a man’s heart is gradually given to God,

he gets closer and closer to Him.

When a man can truly get near to God,

ever increasingly, the heart starts to fear Him.

A heart that fears God is a heart that’s preferred.

This is the heart that is wanted by God.

Chorus

When God gives you a trial, He will see where you stand,

if your heart is with Him, with your flesh, or Satan.

When God gives you a trial, He will see where you stand.

Will you be on His side, in harmony with His mind,

in harmony with His mind?

A heart that fears God, this is the heart that is wanted by God.
