2mørVs - Shallow Preachers (feat. Jonathan Pageau) Lyrics

Sadly we've heard the name of...
We've heard preachers go at us for too long
Like, not- not you, you're- you're good
But you know what I mean!
'All those other bad guys!' All those other guys
We've heard them come at us for- for too...
For too much and to just want you to
You know, like, 'If you believe in the name of Jesus...' and all that stuff
And it's come to a point where it doesn't mean anything anymore
It doesnt mean anything
You know, 'Believe in Jesus and you'll be saved!'
I don't know what you mean by 'believe'
Not sure what you mean by 'Jesus'
And 'saved'? For sure I dont know what you're talking about, okay?
And so all those things, I don't know what you're talking about
And so I'd rather talk about... Bring people, like
Bring people into that kinda mystery
And then let them see for themselves where it goes
And so that's why I'm always very careful in the way that
I talk about this stuff because... yeah, because of that and I think it's been...
A lot of it's been ruined so let's help people understand the words and then slowly...
You know I always tell people I hope I mean, my hope
And I've said this in my videos before is that
My hope is that one day most people will be able to say
'Our Father, who is in Heaven (Our Father, who is in Heaven)'
And they won't have to explain it anymore
They won't have to say... but for now
You need to understand why we say Father
You need to understand why we say Heaven
You need to understand all that stuff
And at some point I mean I, I do it
I can say 'Our Father who is in Heaven' and not flinch at all
Because I- I- I- I- I don't...
I feel like I'm enough in the story that it's fine
And that's my hope and so that's my hope for Jordan, too
Is that he- he- he- he sets up this whole story about how
This bottom-up structure of how The Father...
You know, the- the- the- the
We've created, we've, kind of...
All these images of different fathers have come together
Into this like essential image of the father
And kind of in doing this bottom up thing
Until we realize that there is this image of the Heavenly Father
Thats part of our- that's build in us
You know, this image, and so
Now I don't have to say that- all that stuff?
You don't have to say it anymore, you can just say
'Our Father who is in Heaven; hallowed be Your name!'
You see what I'm saying? 'Yeah'
And so that's what I want- that's what I want- that's kind of my...
That's what I feel like I- I- I- I- I need to do
Is to talk about those things first and then
We'll get there slowly...
