IJahman - I Am A Levi


Song Lyrics

Biblical Reference

Early as the morning dew
Holy and beautiful Thy eyes
There's nothing new
They say that I smile like an angel Jah
They even wonder why and how I'm looking so well
Some they say it's a secret with me
While others question right down to my own religion

I'm a levi I fear Jah and live
Whether rain or sunshine
 
Early as the morning dew
Holy from the wombs of the early morning spring
Thou art the dew of Thy youth Jah Jah say Jah
Psalm 110:3 - Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
Thou art the rod of the strength out of Mount Zion
Sit thyself down at thy right hand children
And I will make you rule right round the midst of the heathen
Psalm 110:1-2 - The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
I'm a levi fear Jah and live
I'm a levi fear Jah and live

I give God thanks and praises every day
So Jah Jah say
For me it must be a chapter a day
I'm a Levi I fear Jah and live
Whether rain or sunshine Jah

Early as the morning dew
He circumcises I and dwelleth in I
Watch the words you all speak mind misinterpretation
It is for free share I tendency with I
It is better for a man to conquer himself
Than a King to conquer and capture many city
I'm a levi fear and live, I'm a levi fear Jah and live
I give Jah God thanks and praise every day so Jah Jah say
For me it must be a chapter a day
I'm a levi fear Jah and live
Whether rain or sunshine Jah

I'm a levi
My father didn't give I any of this earthly portion
I'm a levi
He let I behold this heavy load that I really carry
I'm a levi
 
I obey his rules and law and regulation Jah Genesis 26:5 - Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
I'm a levi  
It's like I'm Daniel living in the lions' den, Jah Daniel 6:16-23 - Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee. And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel. Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of musick brought before him: and his sleep went from him. Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions. And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions? Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever. My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt. Then was the king exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.
I'm a levi
I know what it is to cry the eyes without shame
I'm a levi
 
But this a head that was crowned with thorns
Is now crowned with glory
Matthew 27:29 - And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
Mark 15:17 - And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,
John 19:2 - And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
John 19:5 - Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
Hebrews 2:9 - But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
I'm a levi I'm a levi
I'm a levi I'm a levi
I'm a levi I fear Jah and live
Whether rain or sunshine
