Israel Vibration - Brother's Keeper


[Cecil Spence]

Song Lyrics

Biblical Reference

Man to man is so unjust.
Greedy, glutenous and envious.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
We're in this melting pot together,
So we must take heed.
 
Cast no stone, no man no perfect.
Let me see who can throw first blow.
John 8:7 - So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
Nuff got skeleton in hidden closet.
This is something we all should know.
 
I am your brother. I am your keeper.
You're my brother. You're my keeper.
Genesis 4:9 - And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
If there's a problem, let's try to solve it,
Before it gets too late.
This ya problem, do not ignore them,
Because this time it's gonna be great.
There's gonna be a war. Racial war.
Nation slauhtering nation.
There's gonna be a war. Racial war.
 
Nation raise against nation. Matthew 24:7 - For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
For the mercy of the children
teach the children to unite.
For the mercy of the children
black and white must unite.
 
No man is perfect beneath the sun. Ecclesiastes 1:3 - What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?
We all get pay for the work that we done. Psalm 62:12 - Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
Proverbs 24:12 - If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
Proverbs 24:29 - Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
Matthew 16:27 - For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
Revelation 2:23 - And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
Wiping the matter from out of your eye.
Before you come pointing your finger pon I
Matthew 7:3-5 - And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
I am your keeper because you're my brother.
You're my keeper because you're my brother.
You sure there's something you can do,
to help someone worse off than you.
Because he's your brother
and he can never be too heavy now.
