Hymn
Welcoming Your Smiling Face
Appearing Before Me

I
You raised me from the dust
and into Your embrace.
You woke my heart from
the long and dark night's slumber.
Looking through my haze,
I see Your smiling face.
It draws my heart and my love.
Never dreamed I'd see Your face.
Such a blessing
has caught me by surprise.
Such a blessing
when I saw Your appearance.
For I am from the dust
and without any worth.
Yet the glorious Almighty God
has come to me face to face.
Quiet before You,
I listen when You talk.
Your words are gentle,
yet Your words are strong.
Judgment and chastisement
awaken my heart.
A love sincere and beautiful
that I'll always hold dear.
Your loveliness is beyond words.
It's wondrous!
Taken my heart, rousing my love too.
I've memorized Your every
lovely attribute.
It's my biggest wish
to give all my love to You.
Give all my love to You, to You.

I Am Unfit to See Christ | Eastern Lightning

31. I Am Unfit to See Christ

Since I first began believing in Almighty God, I have always admired those brothers and sisters who can receive the personal ministry of Christ, who can hear His sermons with their own ears. In my heart, I have thought how wonderful it would be if one day in the future I can hear Christ’s sermons, of course to see Him would be even more wonderful. But lately, through listening to His fellowship, I have come to feel deeply in my heart that I am not fit to see Christ.

Always Yearn for God's Love | Eastern Lightning

Hymn
Always Yearn for God's Love

I
I was once naive, ignorant in bliss;
I never knew it
until God awakened me.
How I ignored His word and His love;
now I can see how much I've missed.
I often regret the time I laid to waste,
dreaming away, day after day.
I paid no mind to what God had said,
with a deaf ear I had turned.
Oh God! It's Your word, it's Your love
that has awakened me from my sleep.
Oh how it fills my heart!
Oh God! It's Your word, it's Your love
that has awakened me from my sleep.
I always yearn for Your love.

A Hymn of God's Words
What God Makes Perfect Is Faith

I
Great faith, great love are required
of you in this stage of work.
You may stumble if you're careless,
for this work is not like before.
What God makes perfect
is the faith of mankind.
One cannot see it,
one cannot touch it.
God changes words
to faith, love and life.
What God makes perfect
is the faith of mankind.

Reflections on Being Replaced | Eastern Lightning

30. Reflections on Being Replaced

Yi Ran    Laiwu City, Shandong Province

Some time ago, owing to my not understanding the principle behind the church’s revision of personnel, when the church replaced a leader, a conception arose within me. From what I could see, the sister that was replaced was very good at both receiving and fellowshiping the truth, and could be open about her own expressions of corruption. So I could never get how someone who sought the truth so much could be replaced. Could it be that she talked about her own expressions of corruption too much, and so her leader mistakenly took her to be someone not in pursuit of the truth, and replaced her? If this is what really happened, then hasn’t a training opportunity for someone who was seeking the truth been ruined?

The Words of the Holy Spirit | Almighty God's Words "Is the Work of God So Simple as Man Imagines?"

The Words of the Holy Spirit | Almighty God's Words "Is the Work of God So Simple as Man Imagines?"

Almighty God says, "His work now is to make pure all that has been corrupted by Satan so that they may be regained and become His possession and become His glory. Such work is not as simple as man imagines the creation of the heavens and earth and all things to be, and it is not akin to the work of cursing Satan to the bottomless pit as man imagines. Rather, it is to transform man, to turn that which is negative into the positive and to take into His possession that which does not belong to Him. This is the inside story of this stage of God’s work. You must realize it, and should not oversimplify matters. The work of God is unlike any ordinary work. Its marvel cannot be conceived by the mind of man, and its wisdom cannot be attained by such. God is not creating all things, and He is not destroying them. Rather, He is changing all of His creation and purifying all things that have been defiled by Satan. Therefore, God shall commence work of great magnitude, and this is the total significance of the work of God. From these words, do you believe that the work of God is so simple?"
