662 What Man Should Hold to During Trials
Verse 1
For each step of God’s work, there’s a way
people should cooperate.
God refines man so that they have faith.
God perfects man so that they
have faith to be perfected,
willing to accept His refinements
and to be dealt with and pruned by God.
Verse 2
The Spirit of God works in people
to bring enlightenment
and illuminate them so that they
will comply and practice.
God does not speak during refinements.
There’s no sound of His voice,
yet there is work people should do.
Bridge 1
You should uphold what you have,
yet be able to pray to God,
be close to God, stand witness before God;
this is how you do your duty.
Chorus
If you stand firm through every step of God’s trials,
if you stand firm up to the end,
then you’re an overcomer,
someone who’s been perfected by God,
someone who’s been perfected by God.
Verse 3
From God’s work you should all see clearly
that all His many trials
of man’s confidence and love require
that they pray more to God,
and that they must more often savor
God’s words before Him.
You must realize people’s duty.
Verse 4
You may not know what God’s will really is,
but you can do your duty.
You can pray and practice the truth
at the times when you should,
and you can do what people should do
and uphold your vision.
This way you can accept God’s next work.
Chorus
If you stand firm through every step of God’s trials,
if you stand firm up to the end,
then you’re an overcomer,
someone who’s been perfected by God,
someone who’s been perfected by God.
Verse 5
It’s a must to have a stance in God’s process
of perfecting man.
You must trust each step of God’s work
and fulfill man’s duty,
uphold what God has you practice,
remember His bidding,
keep your stance, uphold your witness.
Bridge 2
If you can do all these things,
succeed at each step,
in the end you’ll be made perfect by God,
and you will become an overcomer.
Chorus
If you stand firm through every step of God’s trials,
if you stand firm up to the end,
then you’re an overcomer,
someone who’s been perfected by God,
someone who’s been perfected by God.
