Bunny Wailer - Moses' Children


Song Lyrics

Biblical Reference

Tell them tell them,
Tell them the reason why you crying children
Tell them, tell them tell them the
Reason why you shed those tears
(rep.)

If I never did right or if I
ever did wrong, wrong, wrong,
It's because situation arise
Where things don't seem to belong
 
Trial and crosses are always
Before me thorns and prickles
in-a my way, my way, my way,
Ezekiel 2:6 - And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
With the task-master always
Behind me, waiting for a chance
To take my life away.
 
And my burdens, they're getting
Heavy and heavier every day
My burdens,
Psalm 38:4 - For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
Matthew 23:4 - For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
I'm like one who
Labours without no pay
My burdens sweating like a slave to live another day
My burdens, if I didn't follow my
Mind I would be gone astray.
 
For silver and gold have I none have I none
Silver and gold have I none have I none
Silver, silver, silver and gold have I none, have I none
Silver and gold have I none have I none.
Acts 3:6-7 - Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
So won't you tell them tell them
Tell them the reason why you crying children.
Tell them, tell them, tell them the
Reason why you shed those tears
(rep.)

Working round the clock and obeying
The gong is like the weak who's
Got to feed the strong
I got to carry my load like a
Child of Israel battering and
Dragging along, along, along.
 
Blessed is the man who keepeth
his faith, and hope for the
day of his great Redemption
Jeremiah 17:7 - Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
to get away from grief and hate
And into the joys of the sweet liberations.
 
Slave driver, dry bone crying in the wilderness Ezekiel 37:1-2 - The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
Luke 3:4 - As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
John 1:23 - He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
Slave driver, only muscle and blood can stand the test (rep.)  
Moses' Children I know was
In shadows of death the shadows a death
Psalm 23:4 - Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

But Moses' Children, they rose from strength to strength. (rep.)
