364 You Are Too Rebellious
Chorus
You are too rebellious,
with such grave resistance.
You look down on God
and are too cold towards Him.
You love Him too little,
and you hate Him too much.
You disdain God’s work,
despise His actions too much.
Verse 1
Where is your submission?
Where’s your character?
When have you shown the love within you?
Or taken God’s work seriously?
Did you realize what you do today:
running amok through the world;
shameless and scheming;
not knowing the truth;
deceitful and flattering;
thinking you’re right and above all;
being savage and crude like beasts—
is this fitting for a human?
Pre-chorus
You are rude and unreasonable.
You’ve never treasured God’s words;
instead you bring contempt for them.
Chorus
You are too rebellious,
with such grave resistance.
You look down on God
and are too cold towards Him.
You love Him too little,
and you hate Him too much.
You disdain God’s work,
despise His actions too much.
Verse 2
Where will achievements,
sweet hopes and true life come from?
Will your imagination save you
from the tiger’s mouth and the flames?
If you’d treated God’s work
as a priceless treasure,
would you have fallen to this point?
Is it true that your fate
could never be changed?
Do you wish to die with such regrets?
Chorus
You are too rebellious,
with such grave resistance.
You look down on God
and are too cold towards Him.
You love Him too little,
and you hate Him too much.
You disdain God’s work,
despise His actions too much.
