Citizen-Ship Sinkin’ Down

Chorus (Reggae chant):
Citizen-ship sinkin’ down, sinkin’ down inna ocean of debt,
Captain boast say, “Not even God can sink we yet,”
But the iceberg of judgment comin’ straight ahead,
Only the lifeboat of grace keep a man from the dead. 

Verse 1:
Sailin’ on the debt-sea, passport in hand,
Name on the paper, not the name God planned.
Lawyer is the bosun, banker steer the bow,
They promise you tomorrow, but the ship sink now.

Chorus (Reggae chant):
 Citizen-ship sinkin’ down, sinkin’ down inna ocean of debt,
Captain boast say, “Not even God can sink we yet,”
But the iceberg of judgment comin’ straight ahead,
Only the lifeboat of grace keep a man from the dead. 

Verse 2:
Dancin’ on the deck with the pension wine,
Singin’ Babylon song sayin’ “We be fine.”
But the hull full of holes from the Adamic curse,
And the lifeboat of Jesus is the only reverse.

Bridge:
Lifeboats lower, but the crowd say no,
“Stay on the ship, that’s the way to go.”
But a few jump free from the surname chain,
Sail away with Messiah, never sink again.

Chorus (Call & Response):
 (Call) Citizen-ship sinkin’ down…
(Response) Down, down, Babylon drown.
(Call) Iceberg of judgment come ‘round…
(Response) Only Christ lifeboat keep you sound. 

Outro (Chant, fading):
Sinkin’ debt-ship, Babylon drown,
Grace be the lifeboat, Zion bound.
Sinkin’ debt-ship, Babylon drown,
Free man in Christ wear a righteous crown.
