The bumpy path makes my love purer.
God's words of judgment
are always with me.
His righteousness burns me like a fire,
and now I see how corrupt
I've become.
I
God's judgment drives out
my rebellion.
Suffering has taught me how to obey.
My love for God
brings me closer to Him,
and to bear witness to Him
is my wish.
I see now that judgment
is God's blessing.
To gain truth,
we must suffer much pain.
The lazy, the timid,
and the cowardly
can never bear witness for Him.
I wish to suffer more to satisfy God.
Persecution strengthens my love
for Him.
Be of one mind with God,
expend it all for Him.
Love Him, follow His will,
strive to reach what He asks.
With all my will and faith
multiplied a hundred-fold,
I march toward real human life.
Success beckons me on. Oh~

Christ of the last days
brings us the way (brings us the way)
of eternal life, such great salvation
(such great salvation)!
Such a blessing
when God shows us His will
(when God shows us His will).
I hope to gain all God's true love
for man (love for man).
Severe judgment benefits me more
(benefits me more).
I know God only through
His judgment (through His judgment).
The final pain is God's love even more
(even more).
I'll be loyal to God and repay His love
(repay His love).
I wish to suffer more to satisfy God.
Persecution strengthens my love
for Him.
Be of one mind with God,
expend it all for Him.
Love Him, follow His will,
strive to reach what He asks.
With all my will and faith
multiplied a hundred-fold,
I march toward real human life.
Success beckons me on. Oh~
Yes, be dauntless
on the path of loving God! (Oh~)
Yes, be dauntless
on the path of loving God! (Oh~)
Yes, be dauntless
on the path of loving God! (Oh~)
