Seasoned By God

[Lorenzo]

God works in mysterious ways,
Always fulfilling His Divine Plan.
He inducts the hearts He chooses.
Did He not see St. Paul's potential?
Temporary taking His sight away,
He softened Paul's heart to His affinity,
Transmuting him into a great teacher.

[Lorenzo]

God is the true transforming power.
Many sufferers are moulded by Him,
Including captives of war and prisons.
Using their prolonged solitude,
God reaches them in an obscure way,
Teaching them true righteousness
And a great compassion for others.

[Lorenzo]

Then He sends them out into the world;
To follow the footsteps of His Son.
Hardened by their sufferings
And softened by the love of God,
Nothing stands in their destiny;
Their only fear being the fear of God.
Chosen, they have been seasoned by God!
