歌词与翻译

[中文]

踩下刹车，看到停止标志了吗

现在你如鱼得水，牧师看到了

那些美金符号，他一心只追逐金钱

把利润塞进兜里，就像一只披着

羊皮的狼，而他赚这些钱的

原因，呵，是因为

他那贪婪的欲望；把福音当成生意，

这是一种亵渎，一种错误的教义，就像

风中的口哨，我们若在其中听到了

一点点真相，就想找个

适合自己的牧师，他在电视上

西装革履，坐着私人飞机降落在你面前，

让你显得愚蠢无比。

虚荣的物质主义和自私的野心，

是一种愚蠢的宗教。上帝慈爱的丰富，

远胜过你的

迷信。告诉我，一个

基督徒该如何培养辨别力

与智慧？首先，我们要将所有的符号

和征兆，都顺服在

圣经的权威之下。

你是那种会被符号和征兆

完全占据的人吗？如果是的话，

那也行，但你不觉得

很有趣吗？大多数时候，你所谓的

自我解读，似乎总是与你

内心深处的欲望不谋而合，

这似乎相当方便，不是吗？我

不是说上帝不能这样做，也不是说

上帝不会这样做，也许事实确实如此。

我只是在观察，你在这件事上

投入了多少分量，你认为这件事有多重要，

你的信仰在多大程度上是建立在

这些征兆之上的，以及你的

神秘主义在多大程度上混杂了你的

宗教哲学体系。有时候，我们通过追求

philosophic system sometimes what we

超自然体验而认为的真理，其实只是偶然，

是一连串用来让你

偏离真理的干扰事件。但我给你一个征兆，

the truth but I'll give you a sign it's

一个显而易见的：最超自然的作为之一，

就是上帝通过祂的话语，

已经向我们启示了关于

生活与敬虔的一切。有一种观念认为，

如果一个人能看到这些征兆和符号，

并将那些通常看不见的事物

变得显而易见，他就会变得更

属灵。但我说，一个成熟的人的标志，

是能读懂上帝的话语并理解它，

并让真理掌管他的决定

和未来的规划。

his prospective

我喜欢风向转变时的感觉，

人们说那是圣灵的运行，

要聆听那微小的声音。记得

那次我看到落叶，我百分之百确定

那是上帝的召唤。等着瞧，

仔细听，你们都错过了。我曾见过

基甸、参孙、保罗，以利亚看见云层

裂开，从而知道是上帝所作，且

祂至今依然如此。祂的临在让人

感到战栗，对吧？但说实话，

这种事并不常发生。如果没发生，

那就一定出了问题。当我的生活

更像《路得记》而非《出埃及记》时，会觉得乏味。

我从未见过红海分开，没见过

白昼的云柱或夜晚的火柱，

只有平凡琐碎的日常生活。

而那些糟糕透顶的琐事，正是祂主权

的明证。抓挠你的太阳穴，如此深刻，

又如此简单、愚蠢。我们忽视了真理，

却偏爱谜题；攥着上帝的日记，

却一心渴求着奇迹，到处寻找征兆。

pump the brakes stop sign you saw the

sign now you Ace a base preacher saw

them dollar signs he on that paper chase

stuffing profits in his pockets a wolf

with a sheep's appearance and the reason

he's making that scratch huh is cuz

those ears itch pimping out the gospel a

prostitution a false Doctrine lies

whistle in the wind where we listen if

there's a little truth mixed in find a

pastor that suits you on your TV with a

suit and tie hit your ride in this

private jet and you'll be looking stupid

fly materialism and selfish ambition is

a foolish religion The Riches of God's

Mercy is worth more than your

Superstition tell me how does a

Christian begin to develop discernment

and wisdom first we submit every symbol

and sign to the authority of the

scriptures

are you the kind that's completely

consumed by symbols and signs if you are

that's fine but don't you find it

interesting how most of the time your

self interpreting seems to coincide with

what's deep inside your heart's desires

seems rather convenient doesn't it I'm

not saying that God can't do it not

saying that God won't do it that might

very well be the case I'm simply making

an observation of how much weight you

place on it what seems to be at stake

and how much of your faith is actually

banking on it and how much of your

mysticism is mixed with your religious

philosophic system sometimes what we

believe to be true from our Supernatural

Pursuits is actually a fluke a series of

events that's used to distract you from

the truth but I'll give you a sign it's

obvious one of the most supernatural act

is that God through his word has

actually revealed everything pertaining

to life and godliness there is this idea

that an indidual is somehow more

spiritual if he sees these signs and

symbols and takes what's normally

invisible and makes it simple but I say

the mark of a mature man is the one who

reads God's word and understands and

allows that to govern his decisions and

his prospective

plans I like it when the wind shifts

they say it's the movement of the spirit

still Small Voice shall hear it remember

that time I saw that leaf fall I was

positive it was God's call wait for it

listen close y'all miss it I sight

Gideon Samson Paul Elijah saw the cloud

split and know that God did it and does

it still still his presence feels like

chills right and if I'm honest it

doesn't happen often something must be

wrong it's boring when my life is more

like the Book of Ruth than Exodus I've

never seen The Parting of a ocean of a

cloud by day or pillar by night just the

normal everyday working of life with

things that suck royally is evidence of

his royalty scratch your temple so deep

and simple silly us ignore the plane we

prefer a riddle dying to see a miracle

while holding God's diary looking for

signs
