2020 English Gospel Song | "God Hopes People Do Not Become Pharisees"
Intro
Every brother and sister
who seeks the appearance of God,
I hope that you will never repeat
the tragedy of history.
You must not become modern Pharisees
and nail God to the cross again.
Verse 1
You should carefully consider
how to welcome the return of God,
and you should be very clear on
how to be one who submits to truth.
It’s the responsibility
of every person who is waiting,
everyone waiting for Jesus
to return riding upon a cloud.
Refrain
Don’t become modern Pharisees
and nail God to the cross again.
Don’t become modern Pharisees.
Verse 2
We should rub our spiritual eyes,
so that they may become fully clear,
and we should not become mired
in words of wild, empty fantasy.
Let’s think on God’s practical work,
consider His practical aspects.
Do not lose yourselves in daydreams
or let yourselves be carried away.
Refrain
Don’t become modern Pharisees
and nail God to the cross again.
Don’t become modern Pharisees.
Verse 3
Don’t spend time longing for the day
when Jesus, riding upon a cloud,
suddenly descends among you
and takes you, who’ve never known or seen Him,
who don’t know how to do His will.
That would be a fantasy indeed!
You’d do better spending your time
thinking on more practical matters.
Refrain
Don’t become modern Pharisees
and nail God to the cross again.
Don’t become modern Pharisees
and nail God to the cross again.
