Rock of Offence  notes  [mp3 file - 1 MB]

Behold I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone
a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation
he that believeth shall not make haste
judgment also will I lay to the line
righteousness to the plummet
and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies  
and the waters shall overflow the hiding place  Isaiah 28:16-17
Behold I’m setting down in Zion a chief corner stone
Elect, precious - he who believes shall have no cause for shame I Peter 2:6
 
Rock of Offence
Rock of Offence
Rock of Offence
Rock of Offence

Come ye let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh
to the house of the God of Jacob
He will teach of of His ways
we will walk in His paths
for out of Zion shall go forth the law
and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem
and He shall judge among the nations
and He shall rebuke many people
and they shall beat their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning hooks
and nation shall not lift up sword against nation
neither shall they learn war any more
But they shall sit every man under his own vine and his fig-tree;
and no one will make him afraid: Micah 4:2-4 Isaiah 2:3-4

Rock of Offence
Rock of Offence
Rock of Offence
Rock of Offence

Unite you nations and be broken in pieces
Listen up distant parts of the earth
arm yourselves you shall be broken in pieces
arm yourselves you shall be broken in pieces
make your plans but they'll be foiled
propose what you please but it shall not stand
for God is with us

These were the words of Yahweh unto me
for His hand on me was strong
and He warned me not to follow in the ways of this people
ye shall not say "a confederacy"
to everyone who says unto this people "a confederacy"

You will neither dread nor fear that which they fear
sanctify the Lord of Hosts Himself
and let Him be your fear and let Him be your dread
He shall be for a sanctuary
but for a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence
stone of stumbling and a rock of offence
a rock of offence,  rock of offence
unto both the houses of  Israel… Isa 8:9-14

Rock of Offence
Rock of Offence
Rock of Offence

all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces,
though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

Mister Pill Doctor  notes  [mp3 file - 1.3 MB]

Mr. Pill Doctor sir, have you any medicine today?
Mr. Pill Doctor sir, the whole world needs it right away

Mr. Pill Doctor sir have you any medicine?
My mother is ill and afraid she’s going to heaven
There’s some news I’ve heard and I would like your opinion
Nature is better than the medicine your selling

Now I know many people with cancer in for chemo
the cure makes them sicker than all the disease we know
Why the strong aversion to any and all things natural
Fighting against the vitamins and herbs that make the cancer go?

No more reason for suffering a cardiac arrest
Those doctors with their pills and Cadillacs
Know I’m not talking about the signs of the zodiac
But being a vegan will prevent your heart attack

Mr. Pill Doctor sir have you any medicine?
My brother is ill headed for hell or heaven
There’s an herb I’ve heard could cure his condition
And I know that he won’t take it and I don’t know what to make of it

Mr. Pill Doctor sir, have you any medicine today?
Mr. Pill Doctor sir, the whole world needs it right away
Mr. Pill Doctor sir, have you any medicine today?
Mr. Pill Doctor sir, the whole world needs it, yeah they need it right away

No more reason for suffering a cardiac arrest
Those doctors with their pills and Cadillacs
Know I’m not talking about signs of the zodiac
But being a vegan will prevent your heart attack

Was a lady named Reenee who had saved many patients
Who were sick with cancer and AIDS so they took away her license
The people who are responsible are without a conscience
The decision was the American Medical Association’s

Mr. Pill Doctor sir have you any good reason
For continuing the con-game medical establishment
Now show people the depths of your compassion
Tell the truth about the pharmaceutical assassins

Mr. Pill Doctor sir, have you any medicine today?
Mr. Pill Doctor sir, the whole world needs it right away
Mr. Pill Doctor sir, have you any medicine today?
Mr. Pill Doctor sir, the whole world needs it, yeah they need it right away yeah

Mr. Pill Doctor sir, have you any medicine today?
Mr. Pill Doctor sir, the whole world needs it right away
Mr. Pill Doctor sir, have you any medicine today?

We Need the Kingdom   notes  [mp3 file - 1 MB]

Luke 9:11

Well just about every idea I have
When I think like this
Is top of the elevator shaft, he says
As I step on my own feet
Trying to get out of here
Got to get out of here!

Maybe I need a 6 mos. course
I need to type but that stops the elevator
Maybe I’ll be late
Better late then better never
I think if you can get Tayshaun
To have a bad game
You can stop the Pistons
And get a win
But when do I begin
To tell you I believe
We need the Kingdom?

You could stop it by cleaning
Or plug it with a really bad joke
Or let the elevator move on
Through higher weather
Past media analysis
Of the parts of the game I missed
And then on to
We need the Kingdom
We need the Kingdom

Elevate your brain! Elevate your mind
Too many people think about nothing all the time
Elevator brain! Elevate your goal
Looking for the just right person in line
And sharing your heart and soul

We Need the Kingdom
We Need the Kingdom oh yeah!
We Need Jah Kingdom
We Need the Kingdom

Love is on the highest floor
I see the type that might start the elevator
Save the open door
When it’s closed that time is gone forever yeah
People they talk a good game
And don’t say a thing
In their conversation
About the King
And it’s why I sing
To bring you to believe
We Need The Kingdom

Thinking you can talk about your sports
Politricks and everything from Hollywood
And I can think I can win
Wonderful prizes
Experience surprises
From an ethereal Jesus
But we really need
We need the Kingdom oh yeah!
We need Jah Kingdom
 
Elevate your brain! Elevate mine
Too many people think about nothing all the time
Elevate your heart, Elevate your role
Working for Jah Kingdom is sublime
Now sing it with your heart and soul oh!

We Need the Kingdom
We Need the Kingdom
We Need Jah Kingdom
We Need the Kingdom

We Need the Kingdom, Yeah need the Kingdom
I need the Kingdom, You need the Kingdom
We need the Kingdom, Yeah need the Kingdom

Psalm 24  notes  [mp3 file - 1.3 MB]

The earth is Yahweh’s, and the fullness thereof;
The world, and they that dwell therein.

For he hath founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the flood.
Who shall ascend the mountain of Yahweh?
And who shall stand in his holy place?

The clean of hands, and pure of heart;
Who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity
Nor sworn deceitfully.

He shall receive a blessing from Yahweh,
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

This is the generation of them that seek him,
That seek thy face - o God of Jacob. Selah

Lift up your heads, O ye gates;
Yea, lift up, ye everlasting doors:
That the King of glory may come in.

Who is the King of glory?
Yahweh strong and mighty 
Yahweh mighty in war.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates;
Yea, lift up, ye everlasting doors:
And the King of glory will come in.

Who then is the King of glory?
Yahweh of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah

[Psalm 24]
..........

I declare that Yahweh's Representative Moshiach
Is here now - present on the earth,
He is setting up His kingdom which is in opposition to all the powers of darkness.
This is the real cause of the trouble and shaking and overturning of society,
All who oppose truth and righteousness are the enemies of the new kingdom,
And unless they quickly surrender they must soon suffer ignominious defeat.
Yet the masses will be heedless of wise counsel, as they've always been,
Until completely humbled underneath the iron rule of the new kingdom,
Only at last realizing the folly of their course.

Those in the light are not to be left in darkness
For their enlightenment - provision has been made.
By the sure word of prophecy, which shines as a light in a dark place.
Those in the light are not left in darkness to learn of Moshiach's presence
By the manifestations of his wrath and power, as the world will learn.

They are clearly and definitely informed just what to expect.
Through the prophetic word, they shall not only be
Shielded from discouragement, - to overcome besetments,
Snares and stumbling stones so prevalent in "the evil day,"
Thus they become the light-bearer and instructor to the world.
Thus enabled to point out to the world the cause of the trouble,
To announce the presence of the new Ruler,
To declare the policy, plan and object of the new dispensation,
And to instruct the world as to the wisest course to pursue

And though men will not give heed to the instruction
Until the lesson of submission has been forced upon them
By the trouble, will they learn the lesson?
It is to this mission to declare upon the mountains - the kingdoms
The battle of the great day of God Almighty
The beginning of the Kingdom of the Lord and His Presence
And Babylon the Great is utterly overthrown
And Babylon the Great is utterly overthrown

Without The Sun   notes  [mp3 file - 1 MB]

I do feel godforsaken but I don't want to believe it
I'm in pain, forgiveness is a planet I'm not from
Tied to a stake and the nails are coming I see it
Can't say nothing like a sheared sheep I'm dumb

I've got nothing and no one, I don't have any fun
There's nothing that I'm very interested in, nothing new under the sun
Can't seem to get it in gear, through self doubt and fear
There's no hope for me, no hope for any one
Without the sun, Without the Son
There's no hope for any one without the sun

Without the Sun
Without the Son

I'm a clown who's let everybody down and I just want to drown
I don't like the way I look, I don't like the way I sound
I'm alone and I don't have a phone, can't ask for a loan
I'm weak, there's nothing there I want to seek, guess I'm a freak

And there's no bridge to get across, I'm some soldier of the cross
If I could be a kid again then I could pretend
There's someone coming over - red rover red rover
But there's no one without the sun
There isn't anything or anyone without the sun

Without the Sun
Without the Son
Without the Sun

I haven't got 2 measly bucks I'm broke
Life sucks cause I choke
There aren't 2 birds of a feather in my flock
I'm not a geek, I'm not a jock

I have too small of a TV, the stuff inside's not fit to see
and the stars all disagree
on how the war is to be won
I have a radio, a lot of voices come and go
And there's a Book I know where I know I can run
Where I won't have to be without the sun

Without the sun
Without the Son
Without the sun

Without the sun
Without the Son
Without the sun

Life, Death and the Here After   notes  [mp3 file - 1 MB]

Where were you the day the world ended? Where were you?
Do you remember where you stood?
The moment our whole world turned new?
Now do you believe?
No use asking me just where I stood
Cuz Lo I’m always with you
Through Life Death and the Here After

All that is gold does not glitter
Not all that glitters is gold
Praise is heaped on the wicked all the time
The righteous stand out
In the cold

Well it may have always been that way
But it won’t always be so no, no, no, no
Not when all the valleys are raised
And the Mountains made low
Through Life, Death and the Here After

Huss was a goose they cooked for the Truth
Truth is a bird you cannot cage
Flames were heaped at the righteous feet
Poor geese would wait to fly
In the Next Age

Well it may have always been that way
But it won’t always be so no, no, no, no
Not when everybody is raised
From the grave below
To Life, Death and the Here After

When all of the mountains are lowered
Valleys Raised
Sun is Shining Down
On Better Days
When all of the ears and eyes are opened
All of the world will witness
Sin and suffering
Selfishness and thoughtless crimes erased
Through Life, Death and the Here After

solo

Well it may have always been that way
But it won’t always be so no, no, no, no
Not when everybody is raised
From the grave below
To Life, Death and the Here After

When all of the mountains are lowered
Valleys Raised
Sun Shining Down
On Better Days
When all of the ears and eyes are opened
All of the world will witness
Sin and suffering
Selfishness and thoughtless crimes erased
Through Life, Death and the Here After

When all of the mountains are lowered
Valleys Raised
Sun Shining Down
On Better Days
When all the graves on earth are opened
All the world will witness
Something New
Love in every heart on every face
That’s Life, Death and the Here

Yeah, I will be with you in
Life, Death and the Here After
I’ll always be with you
In Life, Death and the Here…
After

About the CD art:  The original version of the poster was produced on the back page of a Bible Student tract in 1918.  Upon its release, hundreds of Canadian clergymen signed a petition asking the government to stop the Bible Students from publishing.  The Canadian government made it a criminal offense to possess the tract, punishable by fine and imprisonment.

It is the "Battle of that Great Day of God Almighty," when he shall gather the nations and assemble the kingdoms to pour upon them his indignation, even all his fierce anger; for the Lord of hosts himself mustereth the hosts of the battle. Rev. 16:14; Zeph. 3:8; Isa. 13:4

It is "a Great Earthquake such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake and so great," which shall "shake, not the earth only, but also heaven." Rev. 16:18; Heb. 12:26

It is "The Fire of Jehovah's Jealousy, which shall devour all the earth." Both the present heavens (the ecclesiastical powers of Christendom) and the earth (the social organization under both church and state influence) are reserved unto fire against this day of judgment. "The heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements [of present ecclesiasticism] shall melt with fervent heat; the earth [society] also and the works that are therein shall be burned up...The heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved." All the proud and all that do wickedly shall be stubble, and this fire shall burn them up. It shall leave them neither root nor branch. Zeph. 3:8; 2 Pet. 3:10,12; Mal. 4:1

"His way is in the Whirlwind and in the Storm." "Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger?" Nahum 1:3,6,7

"Behold, it cometh mighty and strong from the Lord, as a Tempest of Hail and a Destroying Storm, as a Flood of Mighty Waters overflowing, and shall cast down to the earth with power the crown of pride." "He rebuketh the sea and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers...The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth [symbols of the entire present order of things] is burned at his presence; yea, the world and all that dwell therein...With an overrunning flood will he make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies." Isa. 28:2; Nahum 1:4,5,8

That these are not to be literal floods and fires, destructive of our planet Earth, and its population, is evident from the statement (symbolic) that the present order of things, when destroyed, will be followed by a new order--"a new heavens [ecclesiasticism, God's glorified Church] and a new earth [human society reorganized under God's Kingdom on a basis of love instead of selfishness]." Referring to that new order of things after the fire of God's retributive vengeance shall have burned up present evils, God, through the Prophet, says: "Then will I turn to the people a pure language [the truth], that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one consent." Zeph. 3:9
