Please listen to what God tells you step by step,	dandan to Kami no yū koto kiite kure	だん／＼と　神のゆふ事　きいてくれ
for I shall never tell you anything wrong.	ashiki no koto wa sara ni yuwan de	あしきのことハ　さらにゆハんで

Step by step listen to what I, God, tell you! For I will tell you nothing wrong.

Word by word, please listen to what I, God, have to say. I shall never speak any falsehoods.

From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 32:44

1:59 We are asked to listen carefully to what God has to say. We are assured that God will never say “anything wrong.” This is almost the same as the beginning of the Mikagura-uta song that begins with “Just a word: Listen to what God says. / I never tell you anything wrong.”
