Congos - Hail The Word Of Jah

Song Lyrics

Biblical Reference

Hail the word of Jah
Take heed unto his warning
Hail the word of Jah
Take heed unto his calling
Children leave out the vulture
Children stick to your culture
Children of Israel
 

Every day every day you disobey Jah call
You disobey Jah, you disobey Jah call
Tell them the daughter dem
Take too long to see the light
The daughter dem
The daughter dem
Those painted lips
Those painted eyebrows
Those painted fingernails
Those painted toes
2 Kings 9:30 - And when Jehu was come to Jezreel,
Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and
tired her head, and looked out at a window.
Jeremiah 4:30 - And when thou art spoiled, what
wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with
crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of
gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting,
in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers
will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
Ezekiel 23:40 - And furthermore, that ye have sent
for men to come from far, unto whom a messenger was
sent; and, lo, they came: for whom thou didst wash
thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and deckedst thyself
with ornaments,
1 Timothy 2:9 - In like manner also, that women
adorn themselves in modest apparel, with
shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair,
or gold, or pearls, or costly array;


You come from Zion with a banner in your hand


Psalm 60:4 - Thou hast given a banner to them that
fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the
truth. Selah.

You reach the river Jordan and you turn back
