630 The Truth About God’s Work of Managing People
Chorus
You should know that God’s perfection,
God’s completion, God’s gaining of men
bring only swords and smiting upon their flesh,
and endless pain, burning, judgment,
chastisement and curses, and boundless trials.
This is the truth of God’s work of managing man.
Verse 1
But all these things are aimed at man’s flesh,
for the sake of God’s glory and witness,
and for His management.
This is because God’s work is
more than just for mankind’s sake,
but also for the whole plan,
and to fulfill God’s will when He created man.
Bridge
Thus, most of what man goes through
involves pain and trials of fire.
So man can’t have sweet moments
for which the flesh has yearned,
much less have happy moments
in the flesh with God.
Chorus
You should know that God’s perfection,
God’s completion, God’s gaining of men
bring only swords and smiting upon their flesh,
and endless pain, burning, judgment,
chastisement and curses, and boundless trials.
This is the truth of God’s work of managing man.
Verse 2
The flesh is filthy and impure,
so human beings can only see
God’s chastisement.
This is because God will reveal
His righteous disposition,
which has no regard for man’s will,
tolerates no offense, and loathes His enemies.
Chorus
You should know that God’s perfection,
God’s completion, God’s gaining of men
bring only swords and smiting upon their flesh,
and endless pain, burning, judgment,
chastisement and curses, and boundless trials.
This is the truth of God’s work of managing man.
Outro
God reveals His disposition
in any way He must,
thus finishing the work of His
six-thousand-year war with Satan.
It’s the work of man’s salvation
and the destruction of Satan.
