REGGAE FOR CHRIST

Lyrics

LIVE BY THE SWORD DIE BY THE SWORD
 (Words and Music by Tennyson Walters)
 History should be our teacher
God’s Word our faithful messenger
Guiding us in the right direction
Away from killing and destruction
Yet we choose to submit
To unending wars and conflict
Participants in an unholy marathon
Going on and on and on and on
 
Them that live by the sword
Shall die by the sword
Them that live by the Word
Them He shall preserve
It’s the meek
That shall inherit the earth
Stop the streak
Of killing and hurt
 
Oh nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
 
Destiny cannot be breached
The Hand of God will always reach
When Peter cut off the soldier’s ear
Jesus healed him and made it clear
Vengeance is mine saith the Lord
I alone decide who stands and falls
No weapon formed shall ever prosper
The end thereof is always disaster
 
  
Them that live by the sword
Shall die by the sword
Them that live by the Word
Them He shall preserve
It’s the meek
That shall inherit the earth
Stop the streak
Of killing and hurt
 
We have got to stop the killing and hurt
No more killing
Oh No
We have got to stop the killing and hurt
OOH Yeah
 
Thou shalt not kill
That is God’s will
He commands you today
Stop your evil ways
Murderers will face Hell’s fire
An inescapable quagmire
 
Them that live by the sword
Shall die by the sword
Them that live by the Word
Them He shall preserve
It’s the meek
That shall inherit the earth
Stop the streak
Of killing and hurt (REPEAT)
