God chose me because of His love;
I am thankful for His salvation.
I practice truth, live before Him,
perform my duty, repay His love.
God chose me because of His love;
I am thankful for His salvation.
God’s kingdom has come on earth; God’s person is full and rich.
Who can stand still and not rejoice?
Who can stand still and not dance?
O Zion, raise your banner of victory to celebrate for God.
God speaks and does work of judging and conquest
in light of your corrupt dispositions.
Only this work that is practical puts God’s holiness into sharp relief.
If you truly wish to know God,
look beyond the three stages of His work,
look beyond the stories of His past work.
If you don’t try to know Him this way,
you’ll limit and confine Him,
and see Him as small.
God’s realness and His loveliness
are brought out by the things so small,
the things that man doesn’t think He’d do,
for they think they’re unremarkable.
God became flesh, stayed hidden among man to do the new work, save us from corruption.
He reserves explanation. By the plans that He has made, He does His work step by step.
God is the Lord, the Lord of creation,
using His authority to reign over His people.
All creatures should obey it,
do what He asks with reverence,
should not reason, not reason or resist.
