Hymns: We Have Been Caught Up Before the Throne
We have been caught up before the throne,
which is entirely due to God’s grace and mercy.
God-loving hearts
are born in the myriad saints,
who do not waver on their spiritual journey.
They hold fast to their belief
that the one true God has become flesh,
that He’s the Head of the universe,
who commands all things:
This is confirmed by the Holy Spirit,
it’s as immovable as the mountains!
And it shall never change!
Oh, Almighty God!
Today it’s You who’ve opened our spiritual eyes,
allowing the blind to see,
the lame to walk, and lepers to be healed.
You’ve opened the window to heaven,
allowing us to perceive
the mysteries of the spiritual realm.
Being permeated by Your holy words
and saved from our humanity,
which was corrupted by Satan
such is Your inestimably great work and mercy.
We are Your witnesses!
II
Long have You remained hidden,
humbly and silently.
You’ve undergone resurrection from death,
the suffering of crucifixion,
and undergone
the joys and sorrows of human life,
and persecution and adversity;
You’ve experienced and tasted
the pain of the human world,
forsaken by the age.
God incarnate is God Himself.
For the sake of God’s will,
You’ve saved us from the dunghill,
holding us up with Your right hand,
freely giving us Your grace.
Sparing no pains,
You have wrought Your life into us;
Your painstaking efforts
and the price You’ve paid
are crystallized upon the saints.
We’re the product of Your painstaking efforts;
we are the price You have paid.
Oh, Almighty God!
It’s because of Your lovingkindness and mercy,
Your righteousness and majesty,
holiness and humility
that all peoples shall bow down before You
and worship You for all eternity.
III
Today You’ve made complete all churches
the church of Philadelphia
and thus fulfilled
Your 6,000-year management plan.
The saints can humbly
submit themselves before You,
connected in spirit and following along in love;
they’re joined to the source of the fountain.
The living water of life runs without cease,
washing away and purging all the mud
and filthy water in the church,
once again cleansing Your temple.
VI
We let God reign supreme in our spirits,
walking with Him, gaining transcendence,
overcoming the world,
and our spirits fly free and attain release:
This is the outcome
when Almighty God becomes King.
Actively cooperate with God,
coordinate in service and become one,
satisfy Almighty God’s intentions,
hasten to become a holy spiritual body,
trample over Satan,
and put an end to Satan’s fate.
