Текст песни Oh Ye of Little Faith - Akira the Don , Jordan B. Peterson

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow
They toil not, neither do they spin
And yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory
Was not arrayed like one of these
Wherefore if God so clothe the grass of the field
Which today is and tomorrow is cast in the oven
Shall he not
Much more
Clothe you?

Oh ye of little faith
Oh ye of little faith
Oh ye of little faith
Oh ye of little faith

Shall he not
Much more
Clothe you?
Therefore, take no thought saying:
What shall we eat? Or what shall we drink? Or, wherewithal shall we be clothed?

Those are famous lines and
That's sort of Christ the hippie, right?
It's like, "Hey, let it all hang out, do your thing and everything will come to you"
(Everything will come to you)
But that's seriously not the proper interpretation
Because there's a kicker with this
And the kicker is this:
For your heavenly father knows you have need of all these things
But seek ye first, the kingdom of God and his righteousness
And all these things shall be added unto you

Oh ye of little faith
Oh ye of little faith
Oh ye of little faith
Oh ye of little faith

Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness
And all these things shall be added unto you

That's a lot different than the hippie thing (bucko)
That's a lot different than the hippie thing, right?
That's a lot different than the hippie thing (bucko)
That's a lot different than the hippie thing, right?
That's a lot different than the hippie thing (bucko)
That's a lot different than the hippie thing, right?
That's a lot different than the hippie thing (bucko)
That's a lot different than the hippie thing, right?

There's a very, very, very interesting idea here
It's certainly one of the most profound ideas that I've ever encountered
If you configure your life, so that what you are genuinely doing is
Aiming at the highest possible good
Then the things that you need to survive
And to thrive
On a day-to-day basis
Will deliver themselves to you
If you dare to do the most difficult thing that you can conceptualize
Your life will work out better than it will if you do anything else

Well, how are you going to find out if that's true?
There's no way you're gonna find out
Whether or not that's true, unless you do it
You have to be all in, in this game
All in, in this game
All in, in this game
All in, in this game

Oh ye of little faith
Oh ye of little faith
Oh ye of little faith
Oh ye of little faith
