Verse 1

The process of coming to know God’s word

is coming to know God and know His work.

Knowing visions means to know God in flesh,

His humanity, God’s word and His work.

Verse 2

From the word of God, man comes to know God.

From the word of God, they realize God’s will.

From God’s work, they know God’s disposition.

From the work of God, they know what God is.

Chorus

Knowing God is the final effect

that’s achieved when God’s work is complete,

the last demand that God makes of man.

It’s for His final testimony.

The reason God does this work is that

man may fully turn to Him at last.

Verse 3

Faith in God is the first step to knowing God.

The early faith grows to very profound—

it’s the process of coming to know God

and experiencing the work He does.

Verse 4

If your faith in God is just to believe

and it’s not for the sake of knowing Him,

then there’s no reality to your faith;

there’s no doubt you’re not pure in your belief.

Chorus

Knowing God is the final effect

that’s achieved when God’s work is complete,

the last demand that God makes of man.

It’s for His final testimony.

The reason God does this work is that

man may fully turn to Him at last.

Bridge

If in the process man goes through God’s work

man gradually comes to know God,

his disposition will then slowly change,

his belief becomes even more honest.

When man succeeds in his belief in God,

by that time, he’ll have completely gained God.

God went great lengths to become flesh again,

so that man could know and also see God.

Chorus

Knowing God is the final effect

that’s achieved when God’s work is complete,

the last demand that God makes of man.

It’s for His final testimony.

The reason God does this work is that

man may fully turn to Him at last.

Outro

Man can only come to love God by knowing God.

And to love God, man must come to understand God.

No matter what or how he seeks, he must be able to know God.

It’s the sole way to meet God’s will.
