God's Only Wish
The glory of Jehovah,
the redemption of Jesus,
and all God's deeds today,
are what you see today.
Words of God's Spirit you've heard,
His wisdom and His wonder,
His disposition you have known,
His management plan you have been told.
Though you were born in the last days,
you've understood what's of the past,
experienced what's of this day,
which is accomplished by God's hand.
God's demand is within reason
because He's given a lot,
much you've seen from Him.
Bear witness for God,
as former saints did,
that's the only wish
from the heart of His,
that's the only wish
II
What you've seen is not merely
a loving God, but a righteous One.
You've seen how wondrous God's work is,
known His wrath, His majesty.
You've also known that once God
brought His great raging fury
on the house of Israel,
this day, it's come your way.
Though you were born in the last days,
you've understood what's of the past,
experienced what's of this day,
which is accomplished by God's hand.
God's demand is within reason
because He's given a lot,
much you've seen from Him.
Bear witness for God,
as former saints did,
that's the only wish
from the heart of His,
that's the only wish
from the heart of His.
III
You've realized God's mysteries
more than Isaiah and John.
You've known His loveliness more
than all previous saints.
You don't just receive
God's truth, His way, and His life,
but vision and revelation greater
than what John received.
Though you were born in the last days,
you've understood what's of the past,
experienced what's of this day,
which is accomplished by God's hand.
God's demand is within reason
because He's given a lot,
much you've seen from Him.
Bear witness for God,
as former saints did,
that's the only wish
from the heart of His,
that's the only wish
from the heart of His.
IV
You've understood more mysteries,
seen God's true countenance.
You've received more of God's judgment,
known more of His righteousness.
Though you were born in the last days,
you've understood what's of the past,
experienced what's of this day,
which is accomplished by God's hand.
God's demand is within reason
because He's given a lot,
much you've seen from Him.
Bear witness for God,
as former saints did,
that's the only wish
from the heart of His,
that's the only wish
from the heart of His.
