Verse 1

The most basic need for man’s faith in God

is an honest heart.

He must fully devote every part of himself and truly obey.

What is hardest for man is to give his whole life

in exchange for true faith,

through which he can gain the entire truth,

fulfilling his duty as one of God’s creatures.

Pre-chorus 1

This is beyond reach of those who fail,

and more beyond reach of those who can’t find Christ.

Chorus

Since man is not good at devotion to God,

since man doesn’t want to do his duty to Him,

since man has seen truth but still walks his own path,

since man always seeks by following

the path of those who failed,

since man defies Heaven, then man always fails

and gets taken in by Satan’s deception,

and is trapped in his own net.

Verse 2

Since man isn’t good at grasping the truth,

and doesn’t know Christ,

because man is too admiring of Paul

and covetous of heaven,

and since man demands that Christ obey him

and gives orders to God,

thus those great ones and those who have lived

the world’s ups and downs are still mortal.

Pre-chorus 2

Thus all of them will surely still die;

they will die amid the chastisement of God.

Chorus

Since man is not good at devotion to God,

since man doesn’t want to do his duty to Him,

since man has seen truth but still walks his own path,

since man always seeks by following

the path of those who failed,

since man defies Heaven, then man always fails

and gets taken in by Satan’s deception,

and is trapped in his own net.
