I

Reading God's word truly brightens my heart,

and in God's word, I meet with Him face to face.

His words expose my rebelliousness and corruption,

and with earnest persuasion, teach me how to conduct myself and act.

Words cannot describe nor songs express just how lovely Almighty God is.

Living with man, He sets an exemplar for us to follow in all things.

God's heart is truly beautiful and good, and His love is so practical.

What God is and has is truly precious.

II

In experiencing the judgment of God's words, I've come to understand the truth.

Through tribulations and refinement, I've come to see God's loveliness.

My experience of suffering has revealed much rebelliousness within me,

and by reading God's words, I've come to know myself.

Though His word is severe, His heart is most kind, and His sole aim is man's salvation.

God urgently desires and awaits man's return to Him.

I have come to understand God's intentions, and I'm no longer negative or retreating.

I only wish to fulfill my duty and leave all up to God's orchestrations.

III

God's word has stayed by my side to this very day,

and the judgment and exposure of His word accompany me in my daily life.

The pain of refinement cleanses my corruption,

and trials and tribulations purify my love for God.

In experiencing the work of God, I've tasted both bitterness and sweetness.

I live out a human likeness, and this is God's immense salvation.

I cannot say all that is in my heart. I cannot finish telling of God's love.

I seek dispositional change and will love God forever.
