| Givin’
out my warning... |
|
Now you rich
people listen to me
Weep and wail over the miseries
That are coming, coming up on you |
James
5:1 - Go to now, ye rich men,
weep and howl for your miseries that shall come
upon you. |
Your riches
have rotted away
And your clothes have been eaten by moth |
James
5:2 - Your riches are
corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. |
Your gold and
silver is covered with rust
And this rust will be witness against you
And eat up your flesh like fire
You have piled up your riches in these last days |
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. |
But heads a go
roll down Sandy Gully one of these days
Heads a go roll down Sandy Gully that’s what
Marcus says |
|
Your life here
on earth have been filled with luxury and
pleasure
You have made yourself fat for the day of
slaughter |
James
5:5 - Ye have lived in pleasure
on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished
your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. |
You've not paid
the men that work in your fields
The cries of those that gather your crops
Have reached the ears of Jah, Jah Almighty |
James
5:4 - Behold, the hire of the
labourers who have reaped down your fields, which
is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the
cries of them which have reaped are entered into
the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. |
Heads a go roll
down Sandy Gully one of these days
Heads a go roll down Sandy Gully that’s what
Marcus says
Dog up a Beverley Hills a eat T-bone steak an’
drink cornflakes
While poor people in the ghetto a rake an’
scrape to get a cake |
|
Be patient my
brother be patient as a farmer is patient
As he waits for the autumn and the spring rains
to water his crops
You also must be patient and keep your hopes up
high |
James
5:7-8 - Be patient therefore,
brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold,
the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of
the earth, and hath long patience for it, until
he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also
patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of
the Lord draweth nigh. |
Happy are those
whose greatest desire is to do what Jah Jah
require
Heads a go roll down Sandy Gully one of these
days
Heads a go roll down Sandy Gully that’s what
Marcus says
Bald head a go roll down Sandy Gully one of these
days
Heads a go roll down Sandy Gully that’s what
Marcus says |
|
I say; you
look, you look, you look and you can’t see...
I said; you listen, you listen, you listen and
you can’t hear... |
Isaiah
42:20 - Seeing many things, but
thou observest not; opening the ears, but he
heareth not.
Matthew 13:13
- Therefore speak I to them in parables: because
they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not,
neither do they understand.
Matthew 13:14 -
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias,
which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall
not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and
shall not perceive:
Mark 4:12 -
That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and
hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest
at any time they should be converted, and their
sins should be forgiven them. |
