Biblical
Reference

Standing
so I can see them beneath the morning sky
All those who seek to climb so high
|
|
To insure the river Jordan will not run dry
|
Joshua
3:17 - And the priests that
bare the
ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on
dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the
Israelites passed over on dry ground, until
all the people were passed clean over Jordan.
Joshua 4:22 -
Then ye shall let your children
know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on
dry land.
|
All of the tears run out of the valley high
Oh a den Mesada! I fear the War's out
Tell Father they've come, oh tell Mother they've
come
|
|
Lord forgive they for they have stamped upon the
ocean
Oh forgive them who trampled by the way side
Lord forgive them who trod upon the ocean
Lord forgive them for all of dem a they don't
know
|
Luke
23:34 - Then said Jesus, Father,
forgive them;
for they know not what they do. And they parted
his
raiment, and cast lots.

They sit there robbing de poor

22:22 - Rob not the poor,
because he is
poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
Isaiah 10:2 -
To turn aside the needy from judgment,
and to take away the right from the poor of my
people, that widows may be their prey, and that
they
may rob the fatherless!
|
We shall stand upon the lies they told
Rocking the boat that they stole
Remember Babylon rule dem... Dread Iyon Dread
Dem a payaka, want to live and be so free yeah, o
lord
Now if dem want to live, if dem want to live, oh
now shelter we
O Father they stole, another one, another country
poor
Oh another one, another country poor
Well now the youth man say
Well now the Covenant say, oh the youth man say
And them a government now they don't know
Now they don't see Jah people don't want to
Believe them, no more, they are deceived, yes, no
more
While they sit in their illusion wondering how
Babylon rule dem, rule dem
So dem, so dem man, so dem a masses have cried
And left them all out, and left them all out
To suffer in dis a ghetto while dem trampled out
On my soul, brought to you dem
Lepo paya, dem lepo paya, Lepo paya gone a
Ethiopia
Lepo paya, dem lepo paya, Lepo paya gone a
Ethiopia
...
Oh dear Mother and Father come look at me
Flying so peacefully
Oh now de, now de Father come run upon the I-shed
O dear Sistren come upon the ocean
O my Idren run upon the I-shed
O dear Sistren run upon a deh don't know... |
