Not Motley Crue | John

Описание: 18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20 Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’[b] If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21 They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 Whoever hates me hates my Father as well. 24 If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. 25 But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’[c]

Verse

If the world turns cold on you
Don’t forget what they did to Me
If you were theirs, they’d call you home
But you were chosen, you were set free

You don’t belong to what they praise
You walk a road they cannot see
That’s why their voices rise in hate
The same dark hate they showed to Me

Chorus

They hated Me first — remember the name
The fire you walk through is part of the flame
Stand your ground when the night gets worse
If they come for you… they hated Me first

Verse

A servant never stands above
The master that he follows on
If they chased Me with their stones
They’ll come for you when I am gone

But if they hear the truth you bring
Some will listen, some will learn
Yet many strike because My name
Is one they never chose to turn

Chorus

They hated Me first — remember the name
The fire you walk through is part of the flame
Stand your ground when the night gets worse
If they come for you… they hated Me first

Verse

If I had never walked their streets
Never spoke the truth they heard
They’d have no guilt upon their hands
But now they stand against My word

They saw the works no one had done
They saw the power, clear and bright
Still they turned their hearts away
Still they chose the darker night

Chorus

They hated Me first — remember the name
The fire you walk through is part of the flame
Stand your ground when the night gets worse
If they come for you… they hated Me first

Verse

Whoever hates the Son they see
Hates the Father just the same
This was written long before
Yet still they rise against the Name

They saw the truth before their eyes
Still they cursed the holy birth
Just as Scripture said it would
They hated Me without a cause on earth

Chorus

They hated Me first — remember the name
The fire you walk through is part of the flame
Stand your ground when the night gets worse
If they come for you… they hated Me first
