Joshua Judges Ruth Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am, I am your creator
I will, I will never fail you
I am, I am your creator
I will, I will never fail you

I'm still ashamed, not worthy of your grace

We are the boys who sing to our own heartbeats

Oh God why don't we sing to yours, sing to yours
Oh God why don't we sing to yours, sing to yours

I've cut through every tie that's connected me to you
The concept of a God I cannot see
It has no value to the life I lead
It has no value to the life I lead

Yet, I'm still wanting the love you preach
Yet, I'm still wanting the love you preach

How can I believe in something I can't touch, taste, or feel
Or put my faith in a ghost?
It leaves such a bitter taste on my tongue
How can I believe?

Oh dearest one, you have so much to learn
So get your facts straight

I am the father, I am divine
They call me counselor, I am, the one
I am the word

I've finally realized that I can't do this on my own
The thought of living life without your love

So now I'll put my selfishness behind
To rely on your perfect, undying love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Joshua Judges Ruth's song "Logos" are powerful and thought-provoking. It starts with the repetition of "I am your creator" and "I will never fail you," indicating that the singer is likely referencing a higher power or God. However, it soon becomes clear that the singer is struggling with their faith and relationship with God, as they admit to feeling "ashamed" and "not worthy of your grace."

The next verse introduces the idea that the singer and their peers may be more focused on their own personal desires and music than on worshiping God. They question why they don't sing to God's heartbeats instead of their own. The following verses continue to explore the singer's struggle to believe in something intangible and unseen while acknowledging their desire for the love and guidance God offers.

The chorus features a bold declaration that the singer is relying on God's love and not their own selfishness to face life. The final verse brings a sense of resolution, as the singer acknowledges the importance of their faith and the power of the divine.

Overall, the song expresses the inner turmoil that comes with questioning faith and the struggle to find a way to connect with a higher power. The lyrics suggest that even when we face doubts and obstacles, we can find strength and meaning in relying on the love and guidance of God.

I will, I will never fail you
I promise that I will always be there for you and won't let you down.

Despite my faults and failures, I feel remorseful and undeserving of your kindness and forgiveness.

We are the boys who sing to our own heartbeats
We are absorbed in our own self-interest and desires, ignoring your presence and wishes.

Oh God why don't we sing to yours, sing to yours
Why don't we direct our focus and efforts towards worshiping and honoring you?

I've cut through every tie that's connected me to you
I have deliberately distanced myself from you and severed all means of connection.

The concept of a God I cannot see
The idea of a deity that is not physically visible to me.

It has no value to the life I lead
It doesn't hold any relevance or importance in the way I choose to live my life.

Yet, I'm still wanting the love you preach
Despite my skepticism and doubt, I desire the affection and care that you promote.

How can I believe in something I can't touch, taste, or feel
It is difficult for me to place faith in something intangible and beyond my sensory perception.

Or put my faith in a ghost?

It leaves such a bitter taste on my tongue
It causes me to feel discomfort and unease because of its indeterminacy and ambiguity.

Oh dearest one, you have so much to learn
You have much to gain from seeking knowledge and understanding from me.

So get your facts straight
Make sure you have proper comprehension and insight before making assumptions or conclusions.

I am the father, I am divine
I am your spiritual father and a divine being to be revered and respected.

They call me counselor, I am, the one
I am referred to as an advisor and guide, and I am the only true and ultimate authority.

I am the word
I am the message and teaching that will lead you to a fulfilled and righteous life.

I've finally realized that I can't do this on my own
I have come to the conclusion that I cannot navigate life independently and require your help.

The thought of living life without your love
The prospect of living without your love and support is unbearable and bleak.

So now I'll put my selfishness behind
I will leave behind my egocentric desires and prioritize serving and pleasing you.

To rely on your perfect, undying love
To depend on your flawless and never-ending affection.

“I’m a man in the land of giants,
I’m the cry of a thousand dreams,
I’m the shoulders holding a nation
High enough to still believe.
We remember the chains we carried,
Won’t forget about the day we left.
Every heart still beats with hope
Of a promise made, a promise kept.

No mercy in the hot noon desert
No shadow’s gonna block the sun.
Still covered in dust from our yesterdays
And days to come.
Every turn is a new temptation,
You want to bow down to someone new.
As for me and my generation,
We will serve no one but You.”

In the garden of Eden there were many trees but also unique two trees.They were both beautiful and appealing. However one led to eternal life and the other led to eternal punishment.
The same can be said about the names Yahusha and Jesus.
One leads to eternal blessing and the other to eternal punishment.

Yahuah loves you so much that he sent his only begotten son Yahusha to die for your sins.
However Yahuah is also just.
So if you deny the name Yahusha then Yahuah will deny you and eternal punishment awaits you.

Acts ‪4:10-12‬
10 then know this, you and all the people of Yisrael: It is by the name of Yahusha HaMashiach of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom Yahuah raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.
11 Yahusha is
“‘the stone you builders rejected,
which has become the cornerstone.’

12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

Yahusha said he came in his fathers name, “literally”
Yahuchanon (Jn)‪5:43‬
43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.
His fathers name is Yahuah.
His name is Yahusha.
YAHU...ah .... The Father.
YAHU...sha.... The Son.

Yahusha came in his fathers name.

The name Jesus is the one who came in his own name.

1 Yahuchannon (Jn)‪3:23‬
23 And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Yahusha HaMashiach , and to love one another as he commanded us.
Yahuchanon (Jn)‪17:11‬ B

11 ..... Qodesh Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me,
so that they may be one as we are one.
Yahuah did not give his son the English name Jesus.

Yahuchanon (Jn)‪1:12‬
12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of Yahuah.

Christian Bibles have changed Yahusha, firstly to IESOUS in 325 AD ,

then 400 years ago changed IESOUS to modern day Jesus.

The letter J was not even invented until about 400 years ago making it impossible for the name of the Mashiach to be Jesus Christ.

Keep sinning after you have been told the truth.

Hebrews 10:26, 27, & 31
26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of Yahuah.

31 It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living Elohiym.

You have been told the true names of Yahuah and Yahusha.

If you continue to call a “Yahuah” “the Lord” or “God”and continue to call “Yahusha HaMashiach” “Jesus Christ” then according to the above scriptures you will be condemned.

All false teachers use the false name Jesus Christ.

The names in the Bible you are reading has been changed not transliterated not translated but CHANGED!

Why? Because satan does not want you to be saved!
Satan does not want you to know the names of Yahuah and Yahusha. That’s why Satan gave the names the Lord God and Jesus Christ.

Accepting the NAME JESUS is a STRONGHOLD OVER YOUR MIND!

If you can accept the above it’s because Yahuah is calling you.

Only those whom Yahuah is calling will accept this message.

The rest will only argue a foolish argument without any scriptural support to back up their OPINIONS.

@laconic151

@@JCResDoc94 I can understand why bibleproject is soft peddling the destruction of the Canaanites in the promised land; genocide as we know it in the modern era is motivated by pride, selfishness, and racist hatred. This is in stark contrast to God's judgement of the Canaanites which was because of their wickedness; not Israel's righteousness. Whether by water, or fire and brimstone, or a foreign army, God judges the world for their transgressions and His people for their sin. This is not hyperbole!

The people of Israel were warned not to lust after other gods or marry those marked for destruction; of course it was foretold they would disobey and be judged for it. The Canaanites would be a thorn in their side they could not get rid of. That's the reason the laws in Leviticus and Deuteronomy point to a remnant of Canaanites as Moses prophesied. God clearly wanted them destroyed, but Israel disobeyed. The consequences of Israel's disobedience is evident throughout the Bible. The lesson is disobeying God is the travesty; His judgement is nothing to be ashamed of.

You said the map was boring. I thought the same about the names that were repeated in the book of Numbers and elsewhere, but being patient and reading through them all has resulted in the joy of seeing those names repeated throughout the Bible! It has helped me make connections. I truly believe every word in the Bible has special meaning. If the boundary lines of the children of Israel are drawn out for us, it is deserving of our attention, just as the names of the children of Israel are!

God is so good! Yesterday I was praying so hard and asking God to forgive me for failing my 13 year old cousin who's our adopted daughter. She is so disrespectful and difficult and no matter how hard I try I make mistakes and fail her. I dreamed last night about a difficult teen boy whom I couldn't get through to about his sinning. It seemed important I know his name so I asked him twice. His name "Michael Joshua."

Explain. Correct me if I'm wrong; I think you (like me) are searching for understanding and truth. Tim said the guy who stole then lied about it was punished harshly. Yup, that's right. They killed him and his entire family. That was after he confessed the truth. Yeah... I get it. He confessed because he was caught in his lie. The chapters were clear that every living thing was killed and the cities were burnt to the ground. So, yeah... I had questions! Mainly; how can a God who wipes out entire civilizations care about me the individual? This presentation by The Bible Project brought peace to my heart.

In a similar way of argument, that is used here, it was used to take JESUS (Yahusha) to the cross. My first name is José which in English is Joseph, and they call me Pepe in Spanish which is Joe in English, which is short Joseph, and Pepe is also Jose in Spanish. And Yahweh, our FATHER in heaven knows that all of those four names were given to me And HE knows who I am. And HE also knows who I belong to when I pray in the name of JESUS. Because HE can see my heart when I am praying.
Someone said ones, "The problem with society is, that society wants to make GOD to its image, instead of it being to the image of GOD".
And someone else also said, "There is only two kinds of people, those who go before GOD and say 'YOUR will be done', and those to whom GOD says, 'Your will be done' ".
So, in which group and society did the ones that took CHRIST to the cross fall into? Who really knows? GOD knows for sure.
GOD BLESS and to not offend anyone,
May YAHUAH bless everyone.

How God in his merciful way always look for his people and indeed, with the people of Israel show us (the rest of the world), the right way to be obedient to the one and only God who creates everything and everyone. We are his creatures and must obey Him simply because he wants to be with us and show us how to be in a close relationship with Him. Honor and Glorify Him. Thanks so much for your hard work.

The problem is that it's a great generalized summary, that tends to "skim" over the really questionable parts and justify it like "...the reason they were ordered to kill all men, women, and children... well you see... they prayed to false idols. And sacrificed Children! That's bad... so they had to be erased-- and the thing about killing them all, it was just a phrase of speech". So was Sodom and Gomorrah a figure of speech... was wiping out the entire earth with a flood, God responding to Elisha sending bears to go maul young kids... it can't all be hyperbolic, the fact is Yaweh apparently destroyed whole civilizations and ppl as a demonstration of power, he killed first borns and thousand of Egyptians in Exodus to "prove a point".
But that isn't the big problem with these narratives, it's that they skim over the controversial shit.... okay, like Josuah for instance, after the Jewish ppl had the successful victory in Jericho, I can't remember if it was Ai, but they had a failed battle and Joshua says that god was unhappy 'cause the one soldier looted some Babylonian stuff from their last conquested, which displeased God so they collectively had him stoned to death... yep. Fucked up, right, imagine if we stoned our soldiers to death in the name of an invisible god. Also, the battle where Joshua asks God to keep the Sun in the sky for 2 days straight, which when this story was written made sense to them 'cause it was mostly around Babylonian-exile and they had no idea about Astronomy and Heliocentric theory, we know that stopping the earth's rotation would cause the entire earth to be destroyed today. But again, you don't even hear this stuff mentioned in these narratives 'cause Christian's don't want to address stuff like that, if it defies science, logic, historical accuracy, etc you will NEVER see it brought up here only the good parts.

@psolo3

@@Jaryism agreed. It's a bit too liberal of an interpretation. The old testament, especially in a format like this, should be treated as literature. It shouldn't be interpreted in any way in something like this. Interpretation has its place, but not in this format

JARY Personally I see no wrong in the creator of life taking it away, for the good. He simply doesn’t owe us anything. God gave us life, and his love freely and we spat/spit in his face when we knowingly sin against him. In addition to that let’s note that he never kills anyone without reason. I truly think the problem is some don’t understand how serious our sin is to a HOLY and PERFECT God. It’s so serious it deserves death. For the wages of sin is death... So Instead of blaming God blame the evil doers... We aren’t worthy of the breath in our lungs. Yet God shows mercy towards us and let’s us breathe/live another day. Why? Cause he loves us! God bless you brother I pray the lord softens your heart and opens your eyes! Jesus is waiting for you with open arms, I pray you receive your salvation through him! (Oh and about that Sun part... It seems you have God in this small mortal box, which is foolish. He’s God! creator of ALL THINGS! He can surely do stop the earth and everything be just fine. For HES the creator of all we see. God bless you brother, shalom!)

@florindobinciuc

@roseacresfarmily

@@Jaryism God doesn't defy science or logic; He writes them into existence. God answered the heart of Joshua's prayer and extended daylight. I don't know HOW He did it but He's more powerful than science. It takes faith to trust in God and the Bible. You don't have to love God, but the Canaanites and all the people who were defeated because of their hatred of God probably wished they had loved Him as they were being destroyed. The Gibeonites were smart and entered into a covenant with the Israelites. They saw Israel's God as the one true God. Joshua is an awesome book!!!! I love God and I love His Word!!!! Pray for God to help you love Him and have faith in Him. He loves you and wants you to come to Him! You wouldn't be on this channel if you weren't curious about God.

My own personal take on the Caananites is that they were being led by giants. This is why the spies that were sent into the land came back saying "we were like grasshoppers in their sight." The women and children had to be killed because the giants had corrupted the entire bloodline of these people.

@boisebadboy93

Being named Joshua (after the one in the Bible of course) I strive to live up to my name and be more like the Biblical Joshua every day. He was a pinnacle of Godly manhood and a true warrior/conqueror. With Christ being my ultimate hero, Joshua takes a close second. There is nowhere in the Bible (at least that I can remember) where Joshua falls short, gives into sin, and faces judgment. Of course he did sin, being human, but never to the extent of it being important enough to record. Apart from Christ Jesus, I believe Joshua is the human standard that all Christian men should strive to be like. I strive every day. Thank you for the video and encouragement!
