Pre-verse
If you are one of the people
striving to be made perfect,
you’ll have borne testimony,
and you are going to say:
Verse 1
“Through each and every step
of what God is doing,
I have accepted this work
of chastisement and judgment.
Though I have suffered a lot,
I have gained God’s own work,
I have known His righteousness
and how He makes man perfect.
Verse 2
Righteous God’s disposition
has come upon me,
brought me blessings and grace.
And His judgment has saved me,
purified and protected me.
By the harsh words of God,
His chastisement and judgment,
I am saved and I know Him.”
Chorus
That’s the path walked by those
who are being made perfect,
that’s the knowledge of which they speak.
They’re people who’ve gained life,
people who are like Peter,
people who possess God’s truth.
When they walk this path till the end,
through chastisement and judgment,
they’ll surely be cleansed,
they’ll completely get rid of the influence of Satan,
and they will be gained by God.
Pre-verse
If you are one of the people
striving to be made perfect,
you’ll have borne testimony,
and you are going to say:
Verse 3
“Today I have seen,
as a creature of God,
we not only enjoy
all things made by the Creator.
But what’s much more important,
beings that He created
should enjoy God’s righteous
disposition and judgment.
Verse 4
Because God’s disposition
is worthy of all man’s savoring,
and corrupt creatures should
relish His righteousness.
There’s judgment and chastisement,
there is also great love.
Though I can’t fully gain God’s love,
I’ve been blessed to see it.”
Chorus
That’s the path walked by those
who are being made perfect,
that’s the knowledge of which they speak.
They’re people who’ve gained life,
people who are like Peter,
people who possess God’s truth.
When they walk this path till the end,
through chastisement and judgment,
they’ll surely be cleansed,
they’ll completely get rid of the influence of Satan,
and they will be gained by God.
