Verse 1

God came to work on earth

to save corrupted humanity.

In His past salvation He showed

His utmost love and compassion,

giving Himself to Satan

in exchange for all of mankind.

God’s salvation is now at its end,

separating all according to their kind.

Chorus

He is thoroughly saving humanity

through judgment and chastisement.

All you shall receive

will be His judgment and His chastisement,

as well as His merciless smites.

Verse 2

But there is something you should know:

There’s not a single shred of punishment

among all of these merciless smites,

all of these merciless smites.

Chorus

He is thoroughly saving humanity

through judgment and chastisement.

All you shall receive

will be His judgment and His chastisement.

Verse 3

No matter how harsh His words,

no matter how great His fury,

what befalls you are words of teaching;

harming you is not His intention.

Bridge 1

God does not want to doom you;

His righteous judgment is to cleanse,

and so too are His merciless trials;

harsh words or smites are all to save.

Verse 4

God’s method of saving mankind

is no longer the same as before.

Today, His righteous judgment

is your salvation forevermore, evermore.

Verse 5

What do you have to say

in the face of this judgment and chastisement?

Isn’t salvation what you’ve always enjoyed

from beginning to the end?

Chorus

He is thoroughly saving humanity

through judgment and chastisement.

All you shall receive

will be His judgment and His chastisement.

Bridge 2

You have seen God in the flesh,

felt His wisdom and omnipotence,

experienced His smites and discipline,

but also received His extreme grace.

Your blessings are greater than all others,

richer than Solomon’s wealth and splendor.

But would your days have lasted this long

if God did not come to be your Savior, your Savior?

Verse 6

If all God wants is to punish you,

there would be no need to incarnate.

Punishing you takes just a word.

You would not have lasted until today.

Do you still not believe what God says?

Outro

He is thoroughly saving humanity.

His righteous judgment is your salvation,

your salvation forevermore, evermore.
