Full Us Up With Your Mercy (Belly Full) Lyrics
Garnett Silk
Lyrics
Let Jah be praised
While I pray for my blessings to rise
Listen
Dem belly full but they're starving
Have a lot and still wanting
Jah, without You we're empty
Fill us up with Your mercy
Dem belly full but they're starving
Have a lot and still wanting
Jah, without You we're empty
Fill us up with Your mercy
Man shall not live
By bread alone and I know
But by the words
That proceeded from Jah, Jah
Man shall not live
By bread alone and I know
But by the words
That proceeded from Jah, Jah
Dem belly full but they're starving
Have a lot and still wanting
Jah, without You we're empty
Fill us up with Your mercy
Never leave us alone
Can't You see the way is dark
And we can't make it on our own?
I'm kind of happy but till morning
They're looking on but not seeing
They're born with sight and lacking vision
Oh Lord, I pray for their salvation
Belly full but they're starving
Have a lot and still wanting
Jah, without You we're empty
Fill us up with Your mercy
Belly full but they're starving
Have a lot and still wanting
Jah, without You we're empty
Fill us up with Your mercy
Can't you see it's Jah we need?
And without Him we can't succeed
He's my friend in times of need
Thank you, Jah 'cause You revealed
Dem belly full but they're starving
Have a lot and still wanting
Jah, without You we're empty
Fill us up with Your mercy
Belly full but they're starving
Have a lot and still wanting
Jah, without You we're empty
Fill us up with Your mercy, please
Listen, man shall not live
By bread alone, I know
But by the words
That proceeded from Jah, Jah
Man shall not live
By bread alone, no
But by the words
That proceeded from Jah, Jah
Belly full but they're starving
Have a lot and still wanting
Jah, without You we're empty
Fill us up with Your mercy
Belly full but they're starving
