Babylon
be still while I blow this trumpet
Babylon be still |
|
In the
beginning was the Word
The Word was with God
The Word was God
The same that was in the beginning with God
All things were made by him
And without him was not anything made that was
made |
John
1:1-3 - In the beginning was
the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God. The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was
not any thing made that was made. |
In him was life
The life was the light of men
Now the light shineth in darkness
And the darkness comprehended it not |
John
1:4-5 - In him was life; and
the life was the light of men. And the light
shineth in darkness; and the darkness
comprehended it not. |
He was in the
world
And the world was made by him
And the world knew not
He came unto his own
And his own received him not
But as many as received him
To them gave he power to become sons of God |
John
1:10-12 - He was in the world,
and the world was made by him, and the world knew
him not. He came unto his own, and his own
received him not. But as many as received him, to
them gave he power to become the sons of God,
even to them that believe on his name: |

Haile Selassie I the First
Who was born not of the will of man
Nor of the will of flesh
But of the will of God |
John
1:13 - Which were born, not of
blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the
will of man, but of God. |
Full of grace
and truth
Now the Word was made flesh
And dwell among I and I and I and I
And we beheld his glory
The glory as of the only-begotten of the Father
Full of grace and truth |
John
1:14 - And the Word was made
flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his
glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the
Father,) full of grace and truth. |
King Haile
Selassie I! King Haile!
O God! He is Christ
Christ in his kingly character
Christ in his kingly character
Tell them, there is no other
There is no other, there is no other |

| Now his
foundation is in the holy mountains |
Psalm

O city of God. Selah |

I will make
mention of Rahab and Babylon
To them that know me
Behold, Philistia and Tyre and Ethiopia
This man was born there
And of Zion it shall be said
This and that man was born in her
But the highest himself shall establish her |
Psalm
87:4-5 - I will make mention of
Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold
Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was
born there. And of Zion it shall be said, This
and that man was born in her: and the highest
himself shall establish her. |
Now the LORD
God JAH the Almighty
Haile Selassie, your Father, strength and
Redeemer
Shall count when he writeth up the people
That this man was born there. Selah. |

when he writeth up the people, that this man was
born there. Selah. |
As well as the
singers
As the players of instruments shall be there
All my springs are in thee |
Psalm

the players on instruments shall be there: all my
springs are in thee. |
Oh well now
Babylon be still, while I blow this trumpet
Babylon be still, while I blow this trumpet
Oh Babylon be still, can't give I your pill
Want to see I be killed |
|
Oh well now
Give thanks and praise to the Most High always |
Psalm
92:1 - IT IS A GOOD THING TO
GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD, AND TO SING PRAISES
UNTO THY NAME, O MOST HIGH: |
| And I know Jah
will lengthen your days |

5:33 - Ye shall walk in all the
ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you,
that ye may live, and that it may be well with
you, and that ye may prolong your days in the
land which ye shall possess. |
This is no time
to gaze
No, no, no, no time to gaze
Play Rasta song all the day long
And you'll be strong to carry on, yes
Babylon, be still... |
