The Hymn of God's Word The Effect

God's Judgment Can Achieve

I

God's work

in passing judgment is not,

in two or three words,

to make clear man's whole nature,

but slowly to reveal, deal with,

prune him over time.

Such forms of treatment

can't be changed for common words,

only for truth,

which lies beyond man's compass.

Only such work is deemed judgment;

only such judgment

can make man obey God

in heart and mouth, within, without,

and truly come to know Him.

II

The work of judgment brings man

to know the very face of God,

and the truth of his rebellion.

It teaches him the purpose

and intent behind God's work

and of mysteries

man doesn't understand.

It helps him to know his corruption

and see the ugliness of his own.

Only such work is deemed judgment;

only such judgment

can make man obey God

in heart and mouth, within, without,

and truly come to know Him.

III

These effects of the work of God

come about

through the work of judgment.

For in substance,

it's just to open up the truth,

the way, and life of God

to all those that believe in Him.

This is what

God works in His judgment.

Only such work is deemed judgment;

only such judgment

can make man obey God

in heart and mouth, within, without,

and truly come to know Him.

from "Christ Does the Work of Judgment With the Truth" in The Word Appears in the Flesh
