Junior Byles - Fade Away


Song Lyrics

Biblical Reference

He who seeks of only vanity
And no love for humanity
Shall fade away, fade away.
Job 34:20 - In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
Psalm 112:10 - The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
He who checks for only wealth
And not for his physical health
Shall fade away, fade away.
James 1:10-11 - But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
Though some believe in diamonds and pearl
And feel like they're on top of the world,
They shall fade away, hear what I say.
 
The rich is getting richer every day,
And the little that the poor man got it shall be taken away.
Do you hear what I say? Yeah, hear what I say.
Matthew 13:12 - For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
The man who worships silver and gold
Shall surely, surely, surely lose his own soul,
Then fade away.
Psalm 115:4 - Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
Isaiah 2:20 - In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
Zephaniah 1:18 - Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.
Matthew 16:26 - For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
James 5:3 - Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
The one who's always acting smart
And don't carry no love in his heart
Shall fade away.

God is here and there and everywhere
And he knows when you play the game unfair,
So people beware, or else you fade away!
Hey! Beware, or dare you fade away.
You've gotta fade, gotta fade, gotta fade now.

The rich is getting richer every day,
And the little that the poor man got it shall be taken away.
Do you hear what I say, hey? Hear what I say.

The one who's always acting smart
And forgetting to carry love in his heart
Shall fade away.
 
God is here and there and everywhere
And his eyes, his eyes are watching you,
Job 34:21 - For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.
Proverbs 15:3 - The eyes of the LORD are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.
You're gonna fade away, yeah, yeah,
You're goin' to fade, fade, fade, fade away...
Fade away... Yeah, yeah... !
