816 To Bear Witness for God Is Man’s Duty
Verse 1
God bestows you with life;
it’s a gift you receive from Him.
And so it’s your duty
to bear witness to Him.
God gives you His glory,
His life the Israelites didn’t have.
And so you must devote
your life and youth to Him.
Refrain
You’ve got God’s glory,
so you must bear God’s witness.
It’s ordained.
Verse 2
It’s your good fortune
to be given God’s glory.
And so it’s your duty
to testify to His glory.
If you believe in God
only to gain blessings,
His work won’t be meaningful,
and you won’t fulfill your duty.
Refrain
You’ve got God’s glory,
so you must bear God’s witness.
It’s ordained.
