I

Pursuing God’s satisfaction

is practicing God’s words with love for God.

No matter the time, if others lack strength,

inside, your heart still loves God anyway,

deeply yearns for and misses God,

this is actual stature.

Only through hardship and refinement

can man know of God’s loveliness.

Having experienced till now,

man knows part of God’s loveliness.

But it’s still not enough, 'cause man is so lacking.

He must experience more of God’s work

and all the refinement of suffering,

man’s disposition then can be changed,

man’s disposition then can be changed.

II

How great your stature is rests on your love for God,

if you can stand through the tests,

if you’re weak when the environment comes,

if when rejected you can stand your ground.

The arrival of facts will show

what your love for God is like.

Only through hardship and refinement

can man know of God’s loveliness.

Having experienced till now,

man knows part of God’s loveliness.

But it’s still not enough, 'cause man is so lacking.

He must experience more of God’s work

and all the refinement of suffering,

man’s disposition then can be changed,

man’s disposition then can be changed.

III

It is seen from much of God’s work

that God really loves man.

But man’s spiritual eyes aren’t fully open.

Man’s unable to see God’s will,

and much of the work of God,

and many things about God’s loveliness.

Man has little true love for God.

Only through hardship and refinement

can man know of God’s loveliness.

Having experienced till now,

man knows part of God’s loveliness.

But it’s still not enough, 'cause man is so lacking.

He must experience more of God’s work

and all the refinement of suffering,

man’s disposition then can be changed,

man’s disposition then can be changed.
