English Christian Song | “The Likeness of Those Used by God”
Intro
The people God uses may look unlike others.
They don’t seem to be rational,
or have good ties with others.
But they don’t speak carelessly.
They speak with propriety.
And their heart is always quiet before God.
Verse 1
Those used by God
don’t show outward love nor act to impress.
But when they say spiritual things,
they open their heart and selflessly provide
all people with the enlightenment
they’ve gained from actual experience before God.
That’s how they show their love for God
and satisfy God’s will.
Chorus
They’re lively, lovable, and innocent,
but possess a sense of calmness.
This is the likeness of those used by God.
Verse 2
Those used by God,
when they are slandered and ridiculed,
they’re able to not be controlled
by outside people, circumstance or things,
and still be quiet in front of God.
Such a person seems to have their own unique insights.
Regardless of what others do,
their heart never leaves God.
Chorus
They’re lively, lovable, and innocent,
but possess a sense of calmness.
This is the likeness of those used by God.
Verse 3
Those used by God,
when others chat with careless glee,
they remain calm and pray to God,
seek His intentions or think of His word.
They never think of how to maintain
proper relationships with other people.
Such a person doesn’t seem to have
philosophy of life.
Chorus
They’re lively, lovable, and innocent,
but possess a sense of calmness.
This is the likeness of those used by God.
Bridge
God’s standard of using man is that
they’re able to turn their hearts to Him,
yearning for His word, willing to seek the truth.
People as such can be enlightened,
gain the work of the Holy Spirit.
Chorus
They’re lively, lovable, and innocent,
but possess a sense of calmness.
This is the likeness of those used by God.
