We undergo God’s judgment and our corruption is cleansed.

God’s used His words to conquer and perfect a group of people,

utterly defeating Satan, gaining full glory.

We see God’s wisdom and almightiness.

The grace of God’s salvation for man is vast.

Totally convinced, we bow down in worship.

We give thanks to God for His judgment, which purifies and saves us.
