Broken Down Comunication - Christafari

Scriptural Inspiration: Ecclesiastes 3:7, 1Peter 3:8, Proverbs 25:11, Proverbs 15:1 & Colossians 4:6

CHORUS:
Broken-down communication
Tangled lines causing confusion
Seems we've lost a good connection (Eph 4:26)
Cutting short our conversation (Prov 15:23)
Broken-down communication
Tangled lines causing confusion (2Cor 6:7)
We can't read minds so the solution
Is you've got to say what's on your mind (Col 4:6).

You've got to say what's on your mind (Eph 4:26)
If you do not, it would be a crime (Eph 4:27)
To bridle your tongue through the passage of time
It will ferment like a bitter wine (Prov 12:18)
And if there is no one in whom you confide (James 5:16)
The pressure will keep building up inside (Prov 15:1)
You better prepare for the rising tide (Prov 18:21)
From this explosion no man can hide (Ecc 9:17 & Eph 4:29)

(Chorus)

I used to be tight with them (Psalm 41:9)
But then me a fight with them (Psalm 41:7)
And quarrel all night with them (Psalm 35:1)
So things nah gone right with them
I used to be strong with them and sing out a song with them (Psalm 55:12-14)
But things them gone wrong with them, So mi nah go-long with them (Psalm 1:1)
I used to be right
And then I'd be wrong
Sometimes I'd be weak
Then times I'd be strong
So full of pride-And then knocked down (1Pet 5:5-6)
Why can't we all just get along?
Why can't we just get along?

(Chorus)

Well you've to tell me what is wrong (Prov 25:11)
I can't figure out why your face is so long
I know you hold in your feelings so strong
But please just tell me what's goin' on (Ecc 3:7)
Because miscommunication cause assumption and misinterpretation--you draw the wrong conclusion
So tell me if I'm truly your friend (Eph 4:26)
This guessing game has to end.

(Chorus)

Well you've got to say
You got to say
What's on your mind (Prov 15:1)
I used to be good with them (Psalm 55:12-13)
And eat up a food with them
But things them gone rude with them
Me fight the whole brood of them (Psalm 5:9)
I used to be cool with them
And sit in a school with them (Psalm 55:14)
But things them turn cruel With them
So me nah-go fool with them
I used to be right
And then I'd be wrong
Sometimes I'd be weak
Then times I'd be strong
So full of pride (1Peter 3:8)
And then knocked down (Eph 4:2)
Why can't we all just get along?
You've got to say
You got to say
What's on your mind (Ecc 3:7)

Washes white as snow
On the cross, my jesus
You gave your life for me

Pour the blood of jesus over me

Chat Chorus: I say Jah Works in mysterious ways, (said He works in) and I am one of His mysterious ways (1 Cor 9:19-23). Who has the right to judge the mind of the Lord so that he may instruct Him? (he may instruct Him) (1 Cor 3:16). I say Jah works in mysterious ways and I am one of His mysterious ways (I am, I am, I am). But Jah know we have the mind of Christ so that we may be like Him (1 Cor 3:9).

He was a radical-different in every way, controversial-the talk of the town hear them say; them want to crucify the Carpenter on Good Friday. Cha, ooh yucka yo yucka yeh. (Chorus).

We are the Salvation Army fighting for the truth just like the founder Sir William Booth. The Salvation Army fighting for the truth just like the founder Sir William... Booth Teach us the right and him don't teach us the wrong. (AAAAH) Booth Teach us to reach them with contemporary songs. There is a brand new voice for each generation but the Spirit gives the inspiration. So you are to change up the style and change the pattern, change up the rhythm and change up the song, change up the singers and change musicians but don't Change the message cause then you've gone wrong. (Chorus).

Magnify, Magnify, Magnify. Blood and Fire. Magnify, Magnify. Jah Works in mysterious ways and I am one of His mysterious ways (I am, I am, I am). The Bible says we have the mind of Christ so that we may be like Him (1 Cor 3:9).

Best Friend - Christafari

I don't really deal with religion so to say, I deal with relationship, Jesus is my best friend, to the end.

Tell your enemy and tell it to your friend, Go on, go up on the mountain and tell it again. Jesus is my best friend, unto the end man.

(Chorus):
Oh how I love the Lord, Jesus is my best friend, unto Him I'll be true to the end, any time you knock me down, I will get up and follow Him again through the Spirit of God that He sends. (John 15:13-16) (repeat)

It is Him I shall follow, His name I'll hallow, (Matt 6:9) whether suffering or pain I shall go against the grain. (Rom 12:2) It doesn't matter what they see or what the outward appearance seems, like a salmon up the river I shall go against the stream. Seen?

(Chorus)

I have seen the light and counted the cost, made one choice, my past has been lost.
Settled the question with the conflict resolved, stepped up over the line and forsaken it all. Signed the covenant made the decision and agreed to the terms, met the author, joined the ranks, my bridges have been burned. There's no looking back, I'm upon the attack with my eyes on the finish as I run on the track. (Heb 12:1-2, & ICor 9:24) Upon this long and narrow road!

(Chorus)

(Bridge):

I love Jesus He is Lord of all
I love Jesus and I will hear His call
I love Jesus when my back is against the wall
I love Jesus upon my knees I am going to fall

I love Jesus so come one and come all
I love Jesus come let us break down the wall
I love Jesus upon your knees you must fall
I love Jesus I am asking you to hear His call

(Chorus)

The road is narrow and the path is long (Mat 7:13-14) but as I follow (Mat 16:24) I've a companion. My best friend to the end, and I am not just pretending
With Him eternity I am going to spend
I want you to sing along

(Chorus)
(Repeat verse 2)
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
A road diverged in the wilderness. . . I took the one less traveled. I was the best decision of my life.

BEHOLD (feat. Monty G & Urban D) - Christafari

Inspired by Matt 24, 1 Thes 4:15-18, 2 Thes 2:2-3 and 2 Peter 3:9-10.

The sun shall be darkened and the moon
shall turn to blood In these days
These dreadful days.
Just as in the age of Noah before the flood
Living in their wicked ways
Til they were swept away.

So come along, come along,
come along, come along with me
And come along, come along,
come along, come along and see.

Chorus:
Behold the coming of the Son of Man
Behold the day of the Lord is at hand.

Every ear will hear
Every eye shall see
His Second coming
(His great glory)
And where the vultures fly the carcass shall be
You'll see the lightening flash
(And hear the Trumpet blast )

So come along, come along,
come along, come along with me
And come along, come along,
come along, come along and see.

Chorus:
Behold the coming of the Son of Man
Behold the day of the Lord is at hand.


Monty G:
We know that Christ will return any time.
Cause we are the righteous
and we see the signs.
Awaiting to see the King in His glory
Risen Savior, His majesty
What a day to behold
What a site to see
King Jesus return so come along with me.


No, don't let them fool you
Many will claim to be Messiah
Impostors that are building
a house of lies.

Watch out for doomsday deceivers
Wanting you to be believers
For the Master will return in the sky

Behold the coming of the Son of Man
Behold the day of the Lord is at hand. (2X).

Monty G:
Ohh behold this great Son of Man.
The Conquering Lion of Judah
descendent of King Solomon.
A true He will come like a thief in the night ,
The powers of wickedness
a Him come to fight .
And dispel the darkness
and Him bring the light
Defend what is true
Defend what is right
And so the Bridegroom
shall return for His bride
With a head full of crowns and fire in his eyes.

Urban D:
Some say that time has passed
I ain't heard no trumpet blast
I ain't seen no dead bodies
come up up out they casket
Watch out for false messiahs
You know, the prophets,
the preachers, those liars
Who tickle your ears and your desires
Jesus say - The sun will fade out,
the moon will cloud over
Stars fall out the sky
Man get ready for Jehovah

(CHORUS)

Urban D:
It's no surprise
He'll split the skies
Split their lives
Split the guys on the block
No matter what your size
Verse thirty nine; One will be taken one left behind
It's too late to find
So I push, hustle and I grind

(CHORUS)
Take heed! / It's Word.

And see if there may be an offensive way in me, ooh woe
And lead me to the path of everlasting, woy yoi...
