If I Were Not Saved by God | Eastern Lightning

If I Were Not Saved by God

If I were not saved by God, I would still be drifting in the world,

struggling painfully in sin, living without any hope.

enjoying the pleasures of sin, not knowing where is the path of human life.

If I were not saved by God, I would still be trampled by the devils,

Through God’s judgment and chastisement, my corrupt disposition has changed.

It is Almighty God who saves me; God’s words have purified me.

All the truth that God expresses has given me a new life.

to hear the voice of God and be raised before God’s throne,

I have seen God face to face and tasted God’s true love.

Finally I have understood, it’s God’s loving hand that has led me

It is Almighty God who saves me; God’s words have purified me.

to attend Christ’s marriage feast and get God’s purification and perfection.

What was hoped for years is realized today; I have finally got God’s salvation.

A Cappella "The Result Achieved by Knowing God" | Eastern Lightning

The Result Achieved by Knowing God
 One day,
you will feel that the Creator
is no longer a riddle,
that the Creator has never been hidden from you,
that the Creator
has never concealed His face from you,
that the Creator is not at all far from you,
that the Creator is no longer the One that you constantly long for in your thoughts but that you cannot reach with your feelings, 
that He is really and truly standing guard to your left and right,
supplying your life, and controlling your destiny, controlling your destiny.
He is not on the remote horizon, nor has He secreted Himself high up in the clouds.
He is right by your side, presiding over your all,
He is everything that you have, and He is the only thing you have.
Such a God
allows you to love Him from the heart,
cling to Him, hold Him close, admire Him,
fear to lose Him,
and be unwilling to renounce Him any longer, disobey Him any longer, 
or any longer to evade Him or put Him at a distance. 
All you want is to care for Him, obey Him, 
requite all that He gives you, and surrender to His dominion. 
You no longer refuse to be guided, 
supplied, watched over, and kept by Him, 
no longer refuse what He dictates and ordains for you, 
what He dictates and ordains for you. 
All you want is to follow Him, walk alongside Him to His left or right, to follow Him, walk alongside Him to His left or right, 
all you want is to accept Him as your one and only Lord, 
all you want is to accept Him as your one and only Lord, your one and only God. 
You no longer 
You no longer 
You no longer 
You no longer 
refuse to be guided, supplied, watched over, and kept by Him, 
no longer refuse 
no longer refuse 
no longer refuse 
no longer refuse 
what He dictates and ordains for you, what He dictates and ordains for you. 
All you want is to follow Him, walk alongside Him to His left or right, to follow Him, walk alongside Him to His left or right, 
all you want is to accept Him as your one and only Lord, 
all you want is to accept Him as your one and only Lord, your one and only God. 
All you want is to follow Him, walk alongside Him to His left or right, to follow Him, walk alongside Him to His left or right, 
all you want is to accept Him as your one and only Lord, as your one and only Lord, your one and only God, 
your one and only God.
