790 God’s Will Is Open to Everyone
Chorus
From the creation of man,
God’s being, His will, His possessions and disposition
have been open to everyone and open to all.
Verse 1
God has never hidden His essence,
nor His disposition or will on purpose.
It’s just that mankind pays no mind to God’s works, His will,
so man’s understanding of God is pitifully weak.
Chorus
From the creation of man,
God’s being, His will, His possessions and disposition
have been open to everyone and open to all.
Verse 2
What this means is while God conceals His person,
He stands beside man at all times,
and at every moment He reveals
His will, His disposition, and essence.
Bridge
And in a sense, God’s person is open to all people.
But because man is blind and disobeys,
man sees not God’s appearance, sees not God’s appearance.
Chorus
From the creation of man,
God’s being, His will, His possessions and disposition
have been open to everyone and open to all.
From the creation of man,
God’s being, His will, His possessions and disposition
have been open to everyone and open to all.
