Mikey Dread - Prophecy

Song written by Mikey's wife, Monika

Song Lyrics Biblical Reference
Every day that I rise I give thanks and praise for life
Every day that I rise I give thanks and praise
Psalm 18:49 - Therefore will I give thanks unto thee,
O LORD, among the heathen,
and sing praises unto thy name.
Psalm 92:1 - IT IS A GOOD THING
TO GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD,
AND TO SING PRAISES UNTO THY NAME,
O MOST HIGH:
Psalm 119:62 - At midnight I will rise
to give thanks unto thee
because of thy righteous judgments.
Thank Jah for life, thank Jah for love, thank Jah for everything
Thank Jah for life, thank Jah for love, thank Jah for everything
For I sing thanks and praises
So I give thanks and praises

'Cause the prophecy, the prophecy, the prophecy
It's all around me
The prophecy, the prophecy, the prophecy
It's all around me

Take a look inside
Are you filled with pride?
 
Let Jah be your guide Isaiah 58:11 - And the LORD shall guide thee continually,
and satisfy thy soul in drought,
and make fat thy bones:
and thou shalt be like a watered garden,
and like a spring of water,
whose waters fail not.
Let Jah be your life  
The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof
The world and those that dwell therein
Psalm 24:1 - The earth is the LORD's,
and the fulness thereof;
the world, and they that dwell therein.
And we were all born in sin Romans 3:9 - What then? are we
better than they? No, in no wise: for we
have before proved both Jews and
Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
Galatians 3:22 - But the scripture hath
concluded all under sin, that the
promise by faith of Jesus Christ might
be given to them that believe.
But we must let him in Revelation 3:20 - Behold, I stand at the door,
and knock: if any man hear my voice,
and open the door, I will come in to him,
and will sup with him, and he with me.
'Cause it no matter the colour of your skin
We were all born in sin
It no matter the colour of your skin
We were all born in sin

But the prophecy, the prophecy, the prophecy
It's all we can see
The prophecy, the prophecy, the prophecy
It's all around me

We see the words of the Bible fulfilled
 
We know we see the Father's will John 6:39 - And this is the Father's will
which hath sent me,
that of all which he hath given me
I should lose nothing,
but should raise it up again at the last day.
And all the things that he prophesied
Now revealed to the human eyes
Praise of Rastafari, praise of Selassie I
Abashanti I, Bongo Bingi I, Jah Rastafari
 
One man can open the Book of the Seven Seals Revelation 5:1-5 - And I saw in the right hand
of him that sat on the throne
a book written within and on the backside,
sealed with seven seals.
And I saw a strong angel
proclaiming with a loud voice,
Who is worthy to open the book,
and to loose the seals thereof?
And no man in heaven, nor in earth,
neither under the earth,
was able to open the book,
neither to look thereon.
And I wept much, because no man
was found worthy to open
and to read the book,
neither to look thereon.
And one of the elders saith unto me,
Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah,
the Root of David,
hath prevailed to open the book,
and to loose the seven seals thereof.
But the prophecy, the prophecy, the prophecy
Revelation you can see
The prophecy, the prophecy, the prophecy
It's all around me

Every day that I rise I give thanks and praise
In my humble ways
Every day that I rise I give thanks and praise
In my humble ways
 
'Cause Jah Jah is the King of kings, the Lord of lords 1 Timothy 6:15 - Which in his times he shall shew,
who is the blessed and only Potentate,
the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
Revelation 17:14 - These shall make war with the Lamb,
and the Lamb shall overcome them:
for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings:
and they that are with him are called,
and chosen, and faithful.
Revelation 19:16 - And he hath on his vesture
and on his thigh a name written,
KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah Revelation 5:5 - And one of the elders
saith unto me, Weep not:
behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah,
the Root of David,
hath prevailed to open the book,
and to loose the seven seals thereof.
So I thank you for life, Lord
So I thank you for my life, God

Every day that I rise I give thanks and praise
In my humble ways
Thank Jah Jah for my nights, thank him for my days

Scriptures can reveal
You can't care, you must haffi feel
Scriptures can reveal
He should open the Book of the Seven Seals
Scriptures can reveal
Jah Jah open the Book of the Seven Seals
Scriptures can reveal
Yeah, Revelation says so
Scriptures can reveal
