Ach Herr, lehr uns bedenken wohl TWV 1:24: IV. Recitative. "So nehm ich dann"

歌詞

How could you be so borderline and bored out of your mind When we're discussing the God that turned water to wine Yeah, it's probably your diet- they say you are what you eat There's a lot of stuff I almost ate but couldn't afford to dine And I thank God that I chose not A man is wisest when he knows that he knows not- don't, stop Don't, stop cause you're incredible Just cause it's edible Don't mean that you got to eat it man- let it go Cause your health is important In the Kingdom of Heaven, beware of the king's leaven The faulty views- the movie scenes are giving It's influence is evil- even on screens brethren So stand firm- stand firm Stand close as God's living example- lights on lampposts Modern day Daniels- great exploits for 'em Before we invite em, we got to inform- now let's show 'em That we're incredible- Nat King unforgettable Every believer better know, we're triumphant So be strong in your weakness- week out and week in Grab a buddy- then let 'em know Big chips- nah, God prefers using the small chips He loves when the score's 90 to 10 and you just got the ball stripped He loves when the odds are against you- that's when it all shifts Your strength for His- when you strip you give Up all of the pride that's inside of you- so don't clench your fist Or look at His ways with contempt- strip- just stick to the script God is using them weak things Like a stick for the split of the Red Sea or the reed It makes no difference which One it was or when it was it was a miracle switch Switch- Switch over to the Gideonites- y'all remember Gideon, right Good man, weak clan- yet, God told Gideon fight Then God told Gideon to slice- His men down to 300- we want it fair But God got the glory when the smallest clan smashed the Midianites That's like the disciples- two fish, five new loaves Fed thousands through the God who chose Young David out of His brothers- fighting the giant Defying the armies of "I Am" with five smooth stones And a sling- yeah, you know how God do His thing Using the weak things of the world to put the strong to shame And that's us- so when the wicked do a song in His name Don't get it wrong- nah, God is not at all trying to hang On their coat tails- the people of God boast cause their frail Just because it's big- don't presuppose that that it will Stay afloat- y'all remember when the ocean was filled With debris from the Titanic- small boats set a sail And got people safe to shore- they embraced the oar I'm done teaching- I'ma erase the board But before I go I just want to know that the faith is a paradox Grab a trumpet and blow- now let's show 'em That we're incredible- Nat King unforgettable Every believer better know, we're triumphant So be strong in your weakness- week out and week in Grab a buddy- then let 'em know
