I have chosen to love God, I’d obey whatever He takes.

I give no word of complaint, despite the touch of pain.

The wanton freedom of man deserves God’s discipline.

The rebellion is my own, God’s will I shouldn’t mistake.

Though the hardships are a lot, it’s a blessing to have God’s love.

Hardship taught me to obey; God has the best, the best intentions.

Worry about whether or not my love will satisfy God.

I dare not slow down a bit; do my best to be loyal to God.

Live with God day after day, I see how lovely He is.

In my contact with Him, there’re more than a few rebellions.

Though the hardships are a lot, it’s a blessing to have God’s love.

Hardship taught me to obey; God has the best, the best intentions.

Accept the searching of God, I know more of my corruption.

Open my heart to fellowship, truth becomes crystal clear.

I tremble at the thought of offending His disposition.

I shall be cautious not to rebel, to cause Him pain.

Though the hardships are a lot, it’s a blessing to have God’s love.

Hardship taught me to obey; God has the best, the best intentions.

Though I have learned to love God, I always feel far from His will.

I must strive to make progress to get where Peter had reached.

My sole wish is to please God, however He thinks of my love.

Though the hardships are a lot, it’s a blessing to have God’s love.

Though the hardships are a lot, it’s a blessing to have God’s love.

Hardship taught me to obey; God has the best, the best intentions.
