Prayer for these Signs of the times

Oh Jah, we come before you today to ask Your forgiveness and to seek Your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, "woe to those who call evil good" but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual eqilibrium and reversed our values. We confess that:

We have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it Pluralism;

We have endorsed perversion and called it alternative lifestyle;

We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery'

We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare;

We have killed our unborn and called it choice;

We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable;

We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem;

We have abused power and called it politics;

We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition;

We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression;

We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.

Search us, Oh JAH, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Guide and bless all men and women who have been sent to direct us to the center of Your will, to openly ask it in the name of the most High Jah!! Rastafari!!

Religion

Religion, Religion, Religion
Yes that's the means
The means by which we were sold into slavery
Whites came to our shores with religion
But in the end, they enslaved us
We were made to believe in a merciful God
But were thesr white merchants merciful themselves?
Not at all
They brought with then white idols
and they called these images of saints
They made us worship these images
But to them our cly images were evil
And according to them, the supreme God hates them
We were made to kill ourselves
All in the name of religion
Some of us fought in crusades and killed our brothers
we even killed our blood brothers
All in the name of religion
we were taught how to commercialise religion
What a wicked teaching this is?
Today,my black brothers exploiut others in the name of religion
The so called reverend ministers raped our sisters
And they even raped our wives and mothers
All in the name of religion
False religions now on the increase
Religion is making the poor poorer
And the rich are gettin richer
Pastors and Reverend Ministers now live in a clover
What has religion odne for us?
So many killings in the name of religion
So many violence in the name of religion
Exploitation of innocent blacks in the name of religion
Religion, the means by which we were sold into slavery
Yes, look out for false prophets and so called men of God
These men can kill you in the name of religion
Beware of them
Babylon the great has fallen and Jah's Kingdom rules.
