114 God Will Restore the Meaning of His Creation of Man
Verse 1
God created humanity, placed them on the earth
and led them to the present day.
He served as a sin offering
and through this He saved man.
In the end He still must conquer,
restore man to his original state.
Since the beginning this is the work
that He has engaged in.
Chorus
He will establish His kingdom,
restore His authority upon the earth as well as man’s state.
He will restore His authority among all He created.
Verse 2
Corrupted by Satan, man has lost his heart,
his God-fearing heart,
and lost the function that God’s creature
should have had from the start.
He’s become God’s enemy,
living under Satan’s orders and domain.
God lost man’s obedience and fear,
and His work can’t be done among them.
Chorus
He will establish His kingdom,
restore His authority upon the earth as well as man’s state.
He will restore His authority among all He created.
Bridge
Man was created by God and ought to worship God.
But man turned his back on God and worshiped Satan.
Man was created by God and ought to worship God.
But man turned his back on God and worshiped Satan.
Verse 3
Satan became the idol in man’s heart,
while to man God lost His standing,
which is to say man lost the meaning
of why he was created.
To restore this meaning,
man must return to his original condition.
God must rid man
of his corrupt disposition.
Chorus
He will establish His kingdom,
restore His authority upon the earth.
He will establish His kingdom,
restore His authority upon the earth.
He will establish His kingdom,
restore His authority upon the earth as well as man’s state.
He will restore His authority among all He created.
Outro
To reclaim man from Satan,
God must save man, save man from sin.
Only then can He gradually
restore man’s original function,
and in the end restore His kingdom.
Sons of disobedience will be destroyed,
to allow man to better worship God
and live better here on earth.
