Emancipation
they say will never come, oh, will never come

Down inna Babylon with war and strife
Grief and terror and tongues of hate
This I know will soon abate |

the land of my Father in my visions |

saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four

| From the hills
of captivity's plains |

3:23 - Truly in vain is
salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the
multitude of mountains: truly in the LORD our God
is the salvation of Israel. |
Yes I, the

Will some day clear for I this land |
Exodus
6:8 - And I will bring you in
unto the land, concerning the which I did swear

and my sisters
And my brethren in the yoke of oppression |

Deliverance will come |

shall call.

No more
visitation
Now I know where I man stand, yeah
For I have seen the land of my Father in my
visions
From the hills of captivity's plains
Yes I, the scene of the Righteous One
Will some day clear for I this land
Now my good ways(?)
They all laugh at me
My captivity and bondage all they can see
Emancipation they say will never come |
|
Your destiny is
in Babylon
Not in Beulah Land, Beulah Land |
Isaiah
62:4 - Thou shalt no more be
termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more
be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called
Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD
delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
|
But I know the
weary, destitute and scorned
Weakened strength by oppression and dread reforms
But deliverance will come, come, come
Deliverance will come inna dis ya time
It will come, come, come
Deliverance will come
Jubilation!
Seh, depression no more
Visitation inna dis ya time
Jubilation, yeah, inna Beulah Land |
