341 What Are All Man’s Intentions For?
Verse 1
People show their kindness and are selfish
in taking unbelieving kids, relatives to church.
They stress just love, regardless if they believe,
or whether this act is in God’s will.
Some people bring wives or parents before God.
Regardless if the Holy Spirit agrees,
or the Holy Spirit carries out His work,
they blindly “adopt talented people” for God.
Chorus
What kinds of intentions do people really harbor?
Isn’t it to satisfy one’s own plans, selfish desires?
Is it really for God’s management plan and work?
Is it to fulfill a creature’s duty?
Verse 2
Man’s fervor, intentions come from Satan,
and they can’t complete the Holy Spirit’s work.
No matter what type of person one may be,
one must have the work of the Holy Spirit.
Can a person complete a person?
Why does a husband love his wife and vice-versa?
Why are children dutiful to their parents?
And why do parents dote on their children?
Chorus
What kinds of intentions do people really harbor?
Isn’t it to satisfy one’s own plans, selfish desires?
Is it really for God’s management plan and work?
Is it to fulfill a creature’s duty?
Bridge
What’s good of your kindness to unbelievers?
Even if they struggle to follow God,
they can’t be saved as one believes they can.
Those who receive salvation aren’t easy to obtain.
Chorus
What kinds of intentions do people really harbor?
Isn’t it to satisfy one’s own plans, selfish desires?
Is it really for God’s management plan and work?
Is it to fulfill a creature’s duty?
