Horace Andy & Big Youth - Love Is The Light


Song Lyrics

Biblical Reference

Whoooooaaaah! Whoah, whoah!  
The wages of sin is death,
The gift of Jah is eternal life,
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
So, little children,
No fuss no fight!
Little children,
Please do right!
In dis trial and tribulation,
You must get a fight from the Babylonians,
Who don't wanna see you do right.
 
Love is the light, children,
Love is the light!
1 John 2:10 - He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
Shame and scandal on your family
If they don't do right.
Shame and scandal on your family
If they don't do right.
Love is the light!
 
The wise man built his house on the rock,
The foolish man isn't the same.
Matthew 7:24-27 - Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
So, brother and sister,
Don't fade away!
Do right, in dis time!
Love is the light!
It's easy to be bad,
And it's hard to be good.
So little children, be good on your life.
Love is the light, oh yah!
I say, love is the light!
Shame and scandal on your family
If they don't do right.
Shame and scandal on your family
If they don't live right.
In dis time, oh yeah.
 
Wages of sin is death,
The gift of Jah is life.
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
So little children, don't fight.  
I will praise to you, Jah, with all my heart.
I will ever praise thee continually.
Psalm 9:1 - I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
Psalm 86:12 - I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
It was the same as they to ask,
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain tings?
It was the same false kings that set themselves
And the false rulers took counsel together
'Gainst His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile I Selassie I.
Psalm 2:1-3 - Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
Said, herein stands appointed to rule on earth just now.  
Jah came to break downpression, to set I n I the captive free, Isaiah 42:7 - To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
Isaiah 58:6 - Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
Isaiah 61:1-2 - The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
To drive away transgressors and to rule Iquality.
Equal rights and justice stands for I n I all.
 
To know, to know that all they that loveth Satan's kingdom must fall. Revelation 3:9 - Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Let hands and heart be pure and clean, Psalm 24:4 - He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
To rally round the red, the gold and the green.
And it's an art of God to be pure and clean, as I would say.
To rally around the children Mount Zion I
With His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile I Selassie I
Whom they persecute today, as I would say.
Yeah, Almighty God and King, as I would tell you.
Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jahovah Jah Rastafari,
Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jahoushah,

Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah,  
Mark ye the bulwarks alone in his palaces, Psalm 48:13 - Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
Jah shall break the ships of Tarshish with an east wind. Psalm 48:7 - Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, Jah, a Revelation!
All nations bow.
And den the unfold in iration stand and de wicked that a fall.
Proverbs 29:16 - When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.
And only the fittest of the fittest of the fittest of the fittest of the fittest
Shall stand.
So every day stand for the every day people, and I tell you.
