Lenny Kravitz - Justify My Love Lyrics
Lyrics taken from the bible(from revelation 1:3)Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the prophecyAnd blessed are those who hearAnd who keep what is written thereinFor the time is near(from revelation 1:7)He is coming with the cloudsAnd every eye will see himEveryone who pierced himAnd all the tribes of the earth will wail on account of him(from revelation 2:1-4)Those of you who have not learned what some call the deep things of satanI know your works, i know your toil, and your patient enduranceAnd how you cannot hear evil menBut have tested those who call themselves apostles, but are notAnd found them to be falseI know that you are enduring patiently and bearing out for my namesakeAnd you have not grown wearyBut i have this against youThat you have abandoned the love you had(from revelation 2:9-10)I know your tribulation and your povertyAnd the slander of those who say that they are jews, but they are notThey are a synagogue of satanDo not fear what you are about to sufferBehold the devil is about to throw you into prisonWanting, needing, waiting for you to justify my loveHoping, praying for you to justify my love(from revelation 13:1-10)And i saw a beast rising out of the sea with ten horns and seven headsAnd a blasphemous name upon its headAnd the beast that i saw was like a leopardIts feet were like a bear'sAnd its mouth was like a lion's mouthAnd to it the dragon gave his power, and his throne, and great authorityOne of his heads had a mortal woundBut it seemed to have a mortal wound that was healedAnd the whole earth followed the beast with wonderMen worshipped the dragon for he had given his authority to the beastAnd they worshipped the beast saying"who is like the beast and who can fight against the beast?"And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous wordsAnd it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two monthsIt opened its mouth to utter blasphemous words against godIt was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquerAnd authority was given it over every tribeAnd a people and tongue and nationAnd all who dwell on earth could worship it in vainIf anyone has an ear let him hearIf anyone is to be taken captive, into captivity he will goIf anyone who slays with the sword, with the swordWanting, needing, waiting for you to justify my loveHoping(from revelation 21:1-8)Then, i saw a new heaven and a new earthAnd i heard a great voice from the throne saying:"behold the dwelling of god is with menHe will dwell with them, and they shall be his peopleAnd god himself will be with themHe will wipe away every tear from their eyesAnd death shall be no moreNeither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymoreFor these things will have passed awayTo the thirsty i will give water without priceFrom the fountain of the water of lifeHe who conquers shall have this heritageAnd i will be his god and he shall be my sonBut as for the cowardly, the faithless, the pollutedAs for the murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolators, and all liarsTheir lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone."(from revelation 22:10-13)And he said to me, he said to me:"do not seal up the words of the prophecy, for the time is nearLet the evildoers still do evil, and the filthy still be filthyAnd the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holyBehold, i am coming soonI am the alpha and the omegaThe first and the lastThe beginning and the end."AmenWhat are you gonna do?
