[Chorus]
Some people call You Father
Maybe You could set me free
'''These people hate each other
But You've always been there for me'''
Some people call You Father
Maybe You could set me free
These people hate each other
But You've always been there for me
Some people call You Father
Maybe You could set me free
These people hate each other
But You've always been there for me
"The Messenjah"
I message, written in rhyme, prophetic
Teachers amongst the skeptics and guiding the misdirected
Infected with their lies and their alibis
With their third eye blind, out of line, they try to prophesy
I and I unfold the mysteries told
From the futuristic realms to the days of old
Make straight through the path of the one voice calling
Truth shines, back again two times in the Second Coming
[b-section:]
I am the Messenjah [x 4]
[chorus:]
This I pledge, and I'll take it to my death
I'll lay my life down for you and die over again
I and I, I'm not ashamed of the Most High
Even if I die tonight, if I die tonight
This I pledge, and I'll take it to my death
You can bet your life on my words and everything I said
You can't take away my love for this sacrifice
Even if I die tonight, if I die tonight
True king descendant, master to the apprentice
Pleased to release and reveal in me His presence
Forever blessed, I believe if Jah said it
The word of life came alive in the scriptures ?C I read it
All hail, we prevail, the Tribes of Israel, flow through ya
We pursue the conquering lion of the Tribe of Judah
Don't let 'em fool ya, before this, the foolish get rushed
So don't slop, you never knew us

[Verse 1]
You're not who they say You are
They made You the enemy, enemy, enemy!
Christ! In Jah flesh
Christ! The light within
Christ! Beginning and the end (Christ!)
They have taken something so beautiful
Painted a new picture that makes me sick, sick sick
Christ! Witness
Christ! Living one
Christ! First and last
Feed our minds confusion
Sweeten the taste of pollution
Christ! Word life
Christ! Resurrect
Christ! Everlasting Jah
[Chorus]
Some people call You Father
Maybe You could set me free
These people hate each other
But You've always been there for me
[Verse 1]
I refuse to be like you
Without my life, caving in, caving in, caving in
Christ! In Jah flesh
Christ! The light within
Christ! Beginning and the end (Christ!)
I surrender, giving up all that is me
Yielding to you
Christ! Witness
Christ! Living one
Christ! First and last
Shape me in my brokenness
Empower me forever
Christ! Word life
Christ! Resurrect
Christ! Everlasting Jah
[Chorus]
Some people call You Father
Maybe You could set me free
These people hate each other
But You've always been there for me
Some people call You Father
Maybe You could set me free
These people hate each other
But You've always been there for me
Some people call You Father
Maybe You could set me free
These people hate each other
But You've always been there for me
[Bridge]
I know You will complete this work started in me
I need You more than ever now that I know who You are
I know You will complete this work started in me
I need You more than ever now that I've come so far
I know You will complete this work started in me
I need You more than ever now that I know who You are
