Intro

God created man to enjoy

His abundance and truly love Him.

In this way, men would live in His light.

Verse 1

All those who can’t love God,

or give Him their hearts,

nor see His burdens as their own,

God’s light does not shine on them.

They’re far away in darkness,

on a path far from God’s will.

They act without any truth,

wallowing in the mire with Satan.

All who just accept God’s work

but can’t meet His demands,

or those who can’t accept it,

they’re under influence of darkness.

Chorus

Only those who pursue truth

and can meet God’s demands

will receive His blessings

and escape influence of darkness.

All who believe in God yet don’t pursue the truth

have no way to escape the reach of Satan.

Bridge

Those who live dishonestly,

act differently behind backs,

who appear patient and loving

but are cunning and disloyal to God,

these are the serpent’s kind,

living under influence of darkness.

Chorus

Only those who pursue truth

and can meet God’s demands

will receive His blessings

and escape influence of darkness.

All who believe in God yet don’t pursue the truth

have no way to escape the reach of Satan.

Verse 2

Those who’re self-seeking, haughty,

who show off, protect their status,

these men love Satan and hate truth,

they oppose God, belong to Satan.

Those who don’t care for God’s burdens

or serve wholeheartedly,

only concerned with themselves and their families,

those who can’t leave their all for God,

not living by His words,

they are outside of God’s words,

these men can’t receive God’s praise.

Chorus

Only those who pursue truth

and can meet God’s demands

will receive His blessings

and escape influence of darkness.

All who believe in God yet don’t pursue the truth

have no way to escape the reach of Satan.
