Verse 1
I quiet myself before God,
pray and bare my heart to Him.
I simply and honestly open up,
speak from the heart.
I hand my difficulties and shortcomings over to God
and look to Him.

May God enlighten and illuminate me
to understand His will.
Through sincere seeking,
I gain the Holy Spirit’s light in me.
Understanding the truth,
I gain discernment and have a path of practice.
With God’s guidance I live in the light,
my heart is full of joy and sweetness.
I quiet myself before God.

Verse 2
Quiet before God, I ponder His words.
I see humanity’s corruption,
how we’ve lost all human likeness.
With the revelations and judgment of God’s words
I reflect on myself:
Motives lurk behind my words, I lie too much.
In my duty, I’m without principles of the truth,
I adhere to rules in my actions.
I lack love for brothers and sisters,
I’m both arrogant and selfish.
I still need to accept more
of God’s judgment, trials and cleansing.
I quiet myself before God.

Verse 3
Quieting myself before God
and seeking the truth,
I gradually grow in my life.
Quieting myself before God
and reflecting on myself,
I gain true repentance.
I often quiet myself before God
and truly commune with Him.
It allows me to fear God and shun evil,
and live before Him.
In all things I accept God’s inspection;
I live in the light.
Cleansing occurs in me,
and I live out a true, true life.
I quiet myself before God.

Verse 4
Often thinking on God’s words,
I’ve reaped a great harvest.
The Holy Spirit has enlightened me
to understand even more truths.
Fulfilling my duty,
I’m at ease and find enjoyment.
Putting God’s words into practice,
I receive His blessings and love.
Through sincere seeking
I gain the Holy Spirit’s light in me.
Understanding the truth,
I gain discernment
and have a path of practice.
With God’s guidance I live in the light,
my heart is full of joy and sweetness.
I quiet myself before God.
My heart is full of joy and sweetness.
I quiet myself before God, before God.
I quiet myself before God.
I quiet myself before God.
