Lyrics

With Jesus, when I say Jesus I'm not talkin' about some blonde hair, blue eyed, pale skin, buttermilk complection cracker Christ I'm talkin' about the Jesus of the Bible with hair like lamb's wool I'm talkin' about that good hair, I'm talkin' about that nappy hair That His body would be like beryl Another scripture said His body would be like jasper Another scripture said His body would be like a fine brass As though it had been burned in an oven Jesus, the Lord, the saviour, the master, the redeemer Jesus, the black revolutionary Messiah Taken up on a hill, up on the mountain by Satan, by the devil And the devil talked about a new world order The devil talked about giving Jesus all of this world out there If Jesus would just seek an alliance with him If he would just bow down to him And I sai to you hear tonight, devil, get thee behind me, Satan Get thee behind me, Satan Because the people that we're asking for peace They're a bunch of megalomaniac war-mongers and they don't even understand what peace means But we've got to fight 'em, we've for to struggle with them To make them understand what peace means I can't believe I can't get over my fear They're gonna send me over the hill Ah, the moment of truth is near They're gonna send me over the hill I can't believe I'm so caught up in the thrill, no Ain't nothin' (and nothing's) gonna change my will Locked and loaded up, and I know the drill (Say know what I'm saying) They're gonna send me over the hill I been a witness to this game for ages And if I stare death in face, no time to waste, oh And if I charge it to the game before Every time I slip into the unknown Well that's only when the spot gets blown It's war That is the Lord! I won't nut up when we up thick in the crunch Because a coward dies a thousand times But a soldier only dies just once Once, once Yahweh, Yehushua He don't want no coward soldier Aaah stick it in the golden sand Musta didna hearda ma prayer I receive everything that it means And wield it victoriously Aha, and cast out all the wickedness (When they) send me over the hill I was born to kill Send me over the hill I been a witness to this game for ages And if I stare death in face, no time to waste And if I charge it to the game before Every time I slip into the unknown Well that's only when the spot gets blown It's war That is the Lord I won't nut up when we up thick in the crunch Because a coward dies a thousand times But a soldier only dies just once Once, once
