Babylon Be Still - Garnett Silk

Babylon be still while I blow this trumpet

Babylon be still

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God

The same that was in the beginning with God.

All things were made by him;

and without

Him was not any thing made that was made.

In him was life;

and the life was the

light

Of men.

And the light shineth in darkness;

and the darkness comprehended it not.

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

He came

Unto his own, and his own received him not.

But as many as received him,

to them gave he

Power to become the sons of God…

Jah Rastafari, Haile Selassie the First

Who was born not of the will of man, nor of the will of the flesh,

but of the will of God

Full of grace and truth.

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among I and I

and I and I

And we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,

full of grace

And truth

King Haile Selassie I

King Haile

Oh God, he is Christ

Christ in his kingly character

Christ in his kingly character

Tell…

There is no other

There is no other

There is no other

His foundation is in the holy mountains.

The Lord God Jah the Almighty loveth

the gates of

Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

Glorious things are spoken of thee,

O city of

God.

Selah.

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me:

behold

Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia;

this man was born there.

And of Zion it

shall be said

This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

The Lord

God Jah the Almighty Haile Selassie, our Father’s chanted redeemer shall count,

when he

Writeth up the people, that this man was born there.

Selah.

As well the singers

as the

Players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee

Oh well now…

Babylon be still while I blow this trumpet

Babylon be still while I blow this trumpet

Bobalon be still

Can’t give I your pill

Want to see I be killed

Oh well now…

Give thanks and praise to the Most High always!

And I know Jah will help in your days

This is no time to gaze

No, no, no

No time to gaze

Play rasta song

All the day long

And you’ll be strong

To carry on, yes…
