293  Only God Is the Best

I

All God’s words are the truth, and everything He says and does is righteous.

Upon undergoing the judgment of His words, we should seek the truth.

Acknowledging our corrupt dispositions,

we should submit to God’s judgment even more.

Only when our corrupt dispositions have been cleansed

can we satisfy His intentions.

We relinquish our notions and imaginings,

looking to God and practicing the truth.

We bolster our resolve to imitate Peter, bearing resounding witness.

Let us sing heartily: Only God is the best!

We will praise God’s holiness and righteousness forever!

II

Experiencing the judgment of God’s words,

I’ve seen how deeply corrupted by Satan I am.

I’m arrogant, conceited, crooked, and deceitful;

I really have no human likeness.

After accepting judgment and coming to know myself, I’ve truly repented.

Experiencing that God’s disposition tolerates no offense,

I fear Him in my heart.

His immense love is hidden behind His judgment and chastisement.

Rebelling against the flesh, practicing the truth, I feel closer to God.

Let us sing heartily: Only God is the best!

We will praise God’s holiness and righteousness forever!

III

When persecution, tribulation, and trials befall,

we must stand firm in witness to glorify God.

Whether we live or die, we created beings should submit to His sovereignty.

By suffering great tribulation and pain,

we come to thoroughly hate Satan, and feel God’s loveliness even more.

We’re ready to risk our lives to shame Satan and bear victorious witness.

Light suffering, which is but transitory, is exchanged for the truth and life.

Everything God says and does is love;

our faith in this is strong and free from doubt.

Let us sing heartily: Only God is the best!

We will praise God’s holiness and righteousness forever!
