2019 Christian Music Video "Only Honest People Have a Human Likeness" | Thank God's Love and Salvation

I once pursued fortune and fame.

My principles were cast away;

I lied for a living.

My conscience was gone,

with no thought for morals.

Integrity, dignity,

all of these things meant nothing to me.

I lived to quench my ever-growing

worldly passions: greed and desire,

wallowing there in a mire of sin

with a heavy and uneasy heart.

I couldn’t escape this endless darkness.

Earthly riches, short-lived pleasures

could not hide the void inside.

Tell me why it’s so hard

to have integrity in life?

What kind of world is this

where man is so cunning?

Tell me who can save me?

I heard the voice of God,

and I returned before Him.

God’s words of truth

cleanse my corruption.

God’s words of judgment, chastisement

are my companions for life.

Accepting God’s scrutiny

brings peace to my heart.

No more cheating or deception now,

and I live in the light.

Honest, with an open heart,

I live out human likeness at last.

I benefit from reading His words,

reading God’s words every day.

I understand so many truths,

having rules of human conduct.

I’ve been through trials, I’ve seen His face.

Within His words, I’ve gained new life,

so I can be an honest person.

I heard the voice of God,

and I returned before Him.

God’s words of truth

cleanse my corruption.

God’s words of judgment, chastisement

are my companions for life.

Accepting God’s scrutiny

brings peace to my heart.

No more cheating or deception now,

and I live in the light.

Honest, with an open heart,

I live out human likeness at last.

I am forever thankful

to God’s love and God’s salvation!

I am forever thankful

to Almighty God!

Christian Testimony | A Father and His Step-Daughter Surpass the Ties of Blood (Audio Essay)

By Xia Zixuan, Hubei Province

A Grey Childhood

There was no mother and no father around when Zixuan was growing up; she didn’t know what the cakes the children from the city talked about tasted like, and she’d never seen a goldfish blow bubbles in a fish tank. On no evening did she ever hear the stories of Grimm’s fairytales, but instead she listened to her grandpa tell her the story of The Seven Heroes and Five Gallants. Her real father leaving and her mother remarrying had brought about feelings of inferiority when she was little, and even more so had become a shadow in the depth of her heart that she could not drive away. Especially when she saw the other children with their parents, caring for them and being with them, Zixuan’s heart would ache with pain.
