Текст песни: Robbers of Glory + перевод

This is the story of Herod the robber

A wicked man who you probably wouldn’t want to marry your daughter

Herod got mad at the people of Tyre and Sidon

They pleaded for peace 'cause they wasn’t tryin' to fight him

Not trying to beef but striving for peace

They were under Roman yoke so they still desired to eat

People liked his decrees, he got up high on a seat

To address the people because he was writing a speech

He gave an oration of perfect duration

And after his statements got a standing ovation

The crowds kept yelling, «this is the voice of a god»

But boy they were wrong, because he surely was flawed

Herod was struck by an angel, he’s breathing his last

His body cut like a bagel, he’s defeated and smashed

Don’t be repeating his path, but please flee from the wrath

He deceased, it was fast, and if you’re needing to ask

«How come?» it’s 'cause he was robbin' God’s glory

Cuz he was acting like Kobe, when he’s Robert Horry (uh)

Humility he was needing to learn

His pride was futility, his body was eaten by worms

So what’s the lesson? It’s believe and then turn

To Jesus, and be urgent 'cause that heat it will burn

Herod thought the credit was really all mine

So God put him to death 'cause He was stealing His shine

This is the story of robbers of glory

And the lessons that come as we walk through the stories

This is the story of robbers of glory

And the lessons that come as we walk through the stories

This is the story of robbers of glory

So let’s walk through the stories, let’s walk through the stories

This is the story of robbers of glory

So let’s walk through the stories, let’s walk through the stories

Nebuchadnezzar was a blasphemous fool, his actions were bold

He was passing some rules about a statue of gold

You refused to bow and you weren’t trying to worship

Then you got cast into the burning fiery furnace

Three Hebrews tossed in, these young guys didn’t deserve this

No ice or a Thermos, so why aren’t they nervous?

The boys untouched by the flames, now Neb is in awe

He realized this act came from the power of God

But then he’s boasting in self, thinking he’s the smartest

He would show off his wealth, but then his kingdom is parted

He thought Babylon was the glory of his majesty

But he was sadly wrong 'cause the story is a tragedy

God makes his dwelling with the beasts of the field

He’s needing to yield to God, so He sees that he kneels

And he acts like a fox or a beast or an animal

Eating grass like an ox without reading the manual

He gazed through his lenses, then his reason returned

And he came to his senses, now he seeks and he yearns

To bless the Most High and His immaculate kingdom

Because His dominion’s an everlasting dominion

I was talking like a fool, or a donkey or a mule

But now I realize that He is sovereign and He rules

Neb’s kingdom is restored, now he listens to the Lord

God had to humble him, and now His wisdom he adores

This is the story of robbers of glory

And the lessons that come as we walk through the stories

This is the story of robbers of glory

And the lessons that come as we walk through the stories

This is the story of robbers of glory

So let’s walk through the stories, let’s walk through the stories

This is the story of robbers of glory

So let’s walk through the stories, let’s walk through the stories

So we saw the consequences of Herod and Nebuchadnezzar robbing God’s glory.

Let’s take a look at the story of Saul of Tarsus

This is the story of Saul of Taurus the robber (check it)

When it came to righteousness the Jews called him a father

Seen as fervent in wisdom and murdering Christians

He’s earnest to kill 'em, even murking the children (brutal)

If you’re following the Way, then Saul was gonna slay

At all hours of the day, 'cause he thought it was ok

Saul was known as the leader of persecution

And at the stoning of Stephen he was approving («Stone him!')

When it came to killing Christians, no one surpassed this

He was going the fastest on the road to Damascus

But then a light from the Lord shown, then he asked this

Why do you persecute me? You know that it’s backwards

He tried to gain the favor of God by obeying the law

But failed to realize he was a hater of God

His name was once Saul but God changed it to Paul

He had blinders on but God was taking them off

He was once blind but his sight regained and he saw

The grace of our God so His greatness He awed

God uttered and proclaimed he would suffer for His name

They were beating him with rods and then clubbing at his brain

He counted all as loss because nothing else remained

Apart from knowing Christ because something in Him changed

He was hungering in pain, in the thunder and the rain

In the dungeon and in chains in abundance of much strain

He was whipped 39 times, five times

That’s one hundred and ninety-five times for the divine shine

Also taught humility by his thorn in the flesh

And anxiety almost wore him to death

So be humble like Kendrick, and don’t trust in aesthetics

And take none of the credit, because the Son is who gets it

You wanna rob His glory you could run for the exit

Because He died for our sins, to the Son we’re indebted

So stop boasting again and be opposing your sin

And draw closer to Him in devotion, my friend

The victory is ours, man, we know we will win (That's right)

He’ll exult us, if not now, at the close and the end (He will)

So be mourning and weeping in the morning and evening

In all four of the seasons, He gives glorious freedom

He’s forgiving our treason, the Lord we will see Him

And the gospel is the greatest story’s the reason

This is the story of robbers of glory

And the lessons that come as we walk through the stories

When we’re giving props let’s be deflecting the praise

And redirect the gaze to His credit always

This is the story of robbers of glory

And the many lessons that come as we walk through the stories

So whatchu learn as we walked through the stories?

So whatchu learn as we walked through the stories?
