Intro

God’s appearance signifies

His arrival on earth to do His work.

With His own identity, disposition, method,

He comes to initiate and end an age.

Verse 1

His appearance isn’t a ceremony,

or a sign, picture, miracle or grand vision,

much less a religious process,

but a real fact that can be touched and seen.

Verse 2

It’s not for going through the motions

or for a short-term undertaking,

but is instead for a stage of work

in His management plan.

Chorus

This work starts a new age and ends the old one.

It’s an improved form of work for man’s salvation.

It brings man into a whole new age.

This is the significance of God’s appearance.

Verse 3

God’s appearance is always meaningful

and connected to His management plan.

It’s different from His appearance

when He guides and leads and enlightens man.

Chorus

This work starts a new age and ends the old one.

It’s an improved form of work for man’s salvation.

It brings man into a whole new age.

This is the significance of God’s appearance.

Bridge

God carries out a stage of His great work

each time He reveals Himself.

It differs from His works in other ages.

It’s undreamed of, a new experience for man.

Chorus

This work starts a new age and ends the old one.

It’s an improved form of work for man’s salvation.

It brings man into a whole new age.

This is the significance of God’s appearance.

This work starts a new age and ends the old one.

It’s an improved form of work for man’s salvation.

It brings man into a whole new age.

This is the significance of God’s appearance.
