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
