It’s not about us, Yahweh.
We try to make it about us,
But it’s not.
It’s about you.
You get the glory
Because you are so deeply loving,
Because you are so true blue.
People think they’re so smart,
Asking us, “Where is your God?”
The reason he can’t be seen
Is because he’s not earth-bound like we are.
He’s above us and beyond us,
Doing whatever he pleases.
They’re attempts at “God”
Are impressive silver and gold.
But what’s the value of a “God”
You made up for yourself?
They have mouths but can’t talk.
They have eyes but can’t see.
They have hands but can’t hold.
They have feet but can’t walk.
They have throats but can’t speak.
Here’s the thing:
You become like the “God” you worship.
Just let that sink in for a bit.
Israel, trust in Yahweh!
He actually helps you,
Actually protects you.
Household of Aaron, trust in Yahweh!
He actually helps you,
Actually protects you.
All who orient your lives toward Yahweh, trust him!
He actually helps you,
Actually protects you.
Yahweh notices us,
Pays attention to he.
He’ll also bless us.
He’ll bless Israel.
He’ll bless Aaron’s household.
He’ll bless all who orient their lives toward him,
From the least to the greatest among them.
You’ll see it as Yahweh gives you more and more,
Especially more children.
Yes, you’ll be blessed by Yahweh,
The Maker of heavens and earth and everything.
Heaven belongs to Yahweh alone,
But he’s given earth into humanity’s care.
When you’re as dead as an idol,
You can’t praise Yahweh.
You’ve become voiceless in the Silence.
But we bless Yahweh
And we’ll keep at it.
Unstopped.
Forever.
Hallelujah!
