Verse 1

Are you willing to enjoy My blessings on earth,

blessings like the ones in heaven?

Will you value understanding Me, enjoying My words,

and knowing Me as your most treasured things?

Are you truly able to submit to Me,

with no thought of your own outlook?

Would you let yourselves be put to death,

and be led like a sheep by Me?

Can any among you attain such things?

Could it be that all who are accepted by Me

and receive My promises

are the ones who gain My blessings?

Chorus

If I test you, can you truly put yourselves at My mercy,

in trials, search My intentions and see My heart?

I’m not wishing for your touching words,

no need for you to tell moving stories;

I ask that you bear fine testimony to Me,

and fully deeply enter into reality.

If I didn’t speak directly,

could you forsake all to be used by Me?

Is this not what I require?

Who can grasp the meaning of My words?

Verse 2

I ask that you no more be weighed down by doubts,

be active in your entry, grasp My word’s essence.

This prevents misunderstanding of My words,

and from violating My administrative decrees.

Bridge

Think no more of your prospects, act as you’ve resolved

to obey God’s orchestrations in all things.

All those in My household should do all that they can.

Offer the best of yourself

to My last section of work on earth.

Are you willing to practice these things?

I hope you grasp My intentions for you in My words.

Chorus

If I test you, can you truly put yourselves at My mercy,

in trials, search My intentions and see My heart?

I’m not wishing for your touching words,

no need for you to tell moving stories;

I ask that you bear fine testimony to Me,

and fully deeply enter into reality.

If I didn’t speak directly,

could you forsake all to be used by Me?

Is this not what I require?

Who can grasp the meaning of My words?
