I
I love You in heart, but feel unworthy.
Having no face to meet You, I’m so anxious, I’m so anxious.
I cannot but resolve inwardly to offer up my mind and body
and undergo, undergo all manner of hardships, undergo all manner of hardships for You.
O God! You know I’m waiting, waiting for Your return.
Please don’t forget me. I can’t live without You!
II
Though unworthy to meet You, I won’t lose hope.
I’m full of faith, full of faith and loving You silently.
As long as it’s for You, I won’t hesitate.
With great faith, I’ll welcome Your return. With great faith, I’ll welcome Your return.
O God! Please wait for me, wait for me to give You love.
I believe You’re loving me, and I can’t live without You!
III
Though I’m weak in flesh, miserable and sorrowful,
You can trust, can trust that I haven’t forgotten You.
I hate my flesh and loathe Satan.
How I wish to break away from unrighteousness! How I wish to break away from unrighteousness!
Unable to satisfy Your desire, I’m unwilling to die.
Not until seeing, seeing Your smile will I feel slightly gratified.
IV
I have resolution and perseverance,
and I’m not passive; I’m loving You truly.
However many are the sufferings, or great the hindrances,
I’ll try, try to satisfy You, try to satisfy You.
When I live out Your image, a new likeness of innocence and liveliness,
my holy spiritual body will belong to You, and I will never part with You,
my holy spiritual body will belong to You, and I will never part with You!
