Lyrics
Ravens
Turned away from false comforts and securities.
Tryin to walk by faith with great surety. You’re in me
Causin me to will and do for your pleasure.
No matter how I feel I’m tryin to use the measure
Of faith you poured in me cause now it means much more to me
To get up in my sword and read and live my life accordingly
Than to know by what means I’ll be provided for.
I’ll take what El Shadaii affords me. This is worth dyin for.
My department is to obey every shot you call,
Take the lumps I got through falls
and trust your plan you’re God through all.
I know you can make the manna fall if need be.
Send the ravens with a simple call to feed me.
You’re the same God now that you were B.C.
I ain’t gotta know how, long as you lead me.
I’ve been walkin with you long enough to know
(You can send the ravens to feed me)
Ain’t gotta worry bout tryin to stack no dough cause
(You can send the ravens to feed me)
You make that manna fall, In your hands you have it all.
(You can send the ravens to feed me)
I’ll seek your kingdom first, you promised to quench my thirst
(You can send the ravens to feed me)
Oh
Read this story bout this prophet in First Kings
Who for your glory said you’d stop the clouds from bursting
And in the middle of the drought seemed like the worst thing
To lead him out away from town when he was thirsting.
You sent him to a brook and you said he’d eat.
One command it took, the ravens would bring bread and meat.
So at every sunrise and at every sunset
He looked up in them skies, there was food to come get.
Stayed right there when the water was gone
Till you said time to tear then Elijah moved on.
Only name he feared was God on the throne.
Not pain nor tears nor the rot of his bones.
Wanna see my faith walked out like a cramp.
Till these doubts get knocked out by the champ.
See my life’s song rocked out like a amp
Till my light bulb pops out like a lamp.
I’ve been walkin with you long enough to know
(You can send the ravens to feed me)
Ain’t gotta worry bout tryin to stack no dough cause
(You can send the ravens to feed me)
You make that manna fall, In your hands you have it all.
(You can send the ravens to feed me)
I’ll seek your kingdom first, you promised to quench my thirst
(You can send the ravens to feed me)
Oh
I was born hard wired with a seed of faith.
I conformed to the mire but was cleaned by grace.
Now the more I desire to see your face
The more of this fire you send me to face.
And the places you’re takin me
have a way of just breakin me
But it’s makin the faith in me
grow greater blatently.
Lately my strength is renewed
greatly by waitin on you.
Make me not shake or be moved
until the ravens come through.
So when you send me away from where people say I belong.
I think of Elijah, Moses, Abraham, David and John.
I don’t know how I’m gon eat next week while I’m makin this song.
Ain’t seekin the ravens I’m seekin the one to whom the ravens belong.
(Yahweh Jireh)
I’ve been walkin with you long enough to know
(You can send the ravens to feed me)
Ain’t gotta worry bout tryin to stack no dough cause
(You can send the ravens to feed me)
You make that manna fall, In your hands you have it all.
(You can send the ravens to feed me)
I’ll seek your kingdom first, you promised to quench my thirst
(You can send the ravens to feed me)
Oh
