Lyrics

My Fathers House      c 2007 Jerry Stevens, Deborah Stevens, Patterson Martin

I will occupy my Fathers house until He returns 
He has left me with the strength and wisdom to aid with my concerns
I will occupy my Fathers house until I can see His face 
I will guard these walls and fences until He comes to take his place

Like a thief inna de night I saw de Fada entah
Chase all de parasite from around eyah
Thief, liah, even murderah, chase dem out de house because dem cannot entah
Pure in heart and cleans hands only, only dem could entah in god house you see
Save ya soul surrender quickly, thas why we livin in de fada house you see

I will occupy my Fathers house and wont allow the wicked
To come and keep me sleeping, steal the truth, and my soul along with it
There are those in this world who would harm us but they will not prevail
cause when I occupy my Fathers house it puts more wind into His sails

brother let we do it anna do it properly, mi fada don wan no murderah roun we
Thou shalt not kill man He don tell we, occupy de house anna we do it properly
Only pure heart and song enter e, just like a thief inna de night Him entah
No wicked man killah man coulda roun eyah, coulda nevah see de face of de fada

I will occupy my Fathers house until it becomes clear
That He has come to take control I know thats why He put me here
All investment will be in good faith and in good time
I will protect His remnant and I will not let it fall to petty crime

When you reach deh man you must be propah, man you mussa talk, talk propah
Have a love peaceful heart, Rasta, so you a go see de face of de fada
No wicked man me say coulda entah, couldnt jump thru de back door an entah
Couldnt even climb thru de windah, Have to come thru de front door said de fada

I will occupy my Fathers house until He comes to take His throne
And the time will be all of His choosing it will not be of my own

I will occupy my Fathers house until He returns
And if they take my speech I will make sure that my song and my 
prayer will burn

Luke 19:13
