Backslider - Christafari

How do you give your life to Jah

And know that it’s eternal

But now you want (to) turn your back

And run to the inferno?

How could you give your life to Christ

And say it is forever

But now you want (to) sell Him out

For 30 pieces of silver?

Don’t drift away

Come back to Him

Don’t drift away

Turn away from sin

Backslider — come back now

Backslider — step back to Jah

Well don’t you know that the Lord

Is full of Godly sorrow?

'Cause you don’t wanna turn your back

Upon Sodom and Gomorrah

And so you come to the Lord

Ask forgiveness and repent

But now you wanna be allured

By the cunning of the Serpent

Don’t drift away

Come back to Him

Don’t slip away

Turn away from sin--ooyeah!

Backslider — come back now

Backslider — step back to Jah

Backslider — come back now

Backslider — step back to Jah

You sing on Palm Sunday

«Hosanna in the highest!»

But when it comes Friday you shout «Crucify Him!»

You never see/say that you’re slipping away

Come back apostate

Yes come back to your faith

Me see you on Sunday

You’re dressed up in your finest

But every other weekday

You’re always getting high yes

You never think/say that you’re slipping away

Come back apostate

Yes come back to your faith

Come back--repent!

You say you wanna serve your God

Yet you call ‘pon Bathsheba

It seems you have forgot

Like spiritual amnesia

Christ’s in a deep pursuit

Because you have fallen away

Well don’t you know He left the 99

To find the one that’s gone astray--That's you!

Don’t slip away

Turn back to Him

Don’t drift away

No, turn away from sin--eeyeah eeyeah!

Backslider — come back now

Backslider — step back to Jah

Backslider — come back now

Backslider — step back to Jah

When people ask you

«How ya doing?»

You say you’re «Doing great!»

But you’re being fake

It’s a front, you’re a fraud

This is a facade

And it’s not pleasing to God

And there’s one word

That’s just not popular today: Repent

That means to turn the other way

The opposite direction of your sins

You may be fooling others

And you think you’re fooling God

But there’s only one person

That you’re really fooling

Yourself
