Culture - Slice Of Mount Zion

(Joseph Hill)

Song Lyrics

Biblical Reference

A slice of Mount Zion is for I
A slice of Mount Zion is for I

I pray to Jah honestly
To please let me live honestly
Love my brother that's all I need
I need no riches just harmony

A slice of Mount Zion is for I
A slice of Mount Zion is for I
 
I'm willing Jah to lay down
At Zion doorway like a foot mat
Psalm 84:10 - For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
Even the saints of Zion
Trod upon my back and enter in, but

A slice of Mount Zion is for I
A slice of Mount Zion is for I

I pray every day to see
The falling of the wicked man
 
I know that wickedness will prevail
But only for a little while and
Jeremiah 1:19 - And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.
A slice of Mount Zion is for I
A slice of Mount Zion is for I

Cannot go to Zion with your force
Have manners and enter in Jah house
You cannot live here with your big gun
All you got to do is help me pray
Let's kneel on our knees and clasp our hands
And say: Father please help me

A slice of Mount Zion is for I
A slice of Mount Zion is for I

Children having children
Poverty upon the door
I've seen white squall
Walking on the street
With man under arrest (yeah)

A slice of Mount Zion is for I
A slice of Mount Zion is for I
 
Satan is around us like a roaring lion
Seeking Jah children to devour
Psalm 22:13 - They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
1 Peter 5:8 - Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
All the days of our lives
Like a hungry eagle
Flying through the sky
Seeking form and soul to devour
But don't let him catch us

A slice of Mount Zion is for I
Hear me when I say
A slice of Mount Zion is for I
Hear me when I pray

Give me strength oh Jah I pray
 
With Thy manna up from Mount Zion Exodus 16:35 - And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.
And no one can give satisfaction
But Thee alone
 
Sit upon Thy throne Revelation 5:13 - And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
And pardon our transgression Micah 7:18 - Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.
And stretch forth pity to Thy children Exodus 7:5 - And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
In the morning time

A slice of Mount Zion is for I
A slice of Mount Zion is for I
A slice of Mount Zion is for I
A slice of Mount Zion is for I
A slice of Mount Zion is for I
A slice of Mount Zion is for
A slice of Mount Zion belong to
A slice of Mount Zion is for I
