I'm Resolved to Follow God

A Hymn of Life Experience
I’m Resolved to Follow God
I
Holding faith so long,
now I see the light.
Experienced ups and downs,
persecutions and hardships.
Happiness and sorrows,
garment wet with tears.
Countless nights,
stayed awake and prayed.
Rejected by the world;
distanced by loved ones.
Wandering every day,
having no resting place.
Freedom, just a sham,
no human rights to share.
Deep hatred of Satan!
When to right the wrong?
This world, dark and evil,
I desire more the light of my life.
Christ is the truth, the way, and the life.
I’ve made up my mind to follow Him.
This world, dark and evil,
I desire more the light of my life.
Christ’s the truth, the way, and the life.
I’ve made up my mind to follow Him.
II
God struck the shepherds;
a tribulation arose.
Dark clouds pressing down,
terror everywhere.
Trapped in devil’s hand,
narrowly escaped from death.
Comforts of God’s words,
filled my heart with strength.
Suffered all torments,
I know God is love.
God rules over everything,
yet man’s faith is poor.
Trial of fiery lake,
I reap a lot from it.
I see through Satan,
hate great red dragon.
Red dragon, mean and cruel,
devoured and corrupted human souls.
Truth and life, not easy to get;
I’ll love God more to comfort His heart.
Red dragon, mean and cruel,
devoured and corrupted human souls.
Truth and life, not easy to get;
I’ll love God more to comfort His heart.
III
Thinking of God’s work,
I feel God is kind.
Accepting God’s judgment,
disposition being changed.
Painful chastisement,
I know more of God.
It is such an honor
to follow practical God.
Spending for the true God,
my heart feels comfort.
Faithfully having duty done,
enjoying in bitterness.
Life’s short, a blink of eye;
loving God, most happy.
Blessed to serve God,
I can’t ask for more.
It’s practical God who saves me.
It’s He who gives me a true life.
I’ve realized my long-cherished dream.
I’ll keep on running ahead.
It’s practical God who saves me.
It’s He who gives me a true life.
I have realized my long-cherished dream.
I’ll keep on running ahead.
