Holy Temple of Messawa

Concurrent with Sahara revival
In the east build a new Holy Temple
Out of war bring Us Peace
In Messawa, Eritrea

HIM EHSI Museum in Jah restored mansion
By the new House of David by land and by sea
With a large common centre
and six private chapels
Shared by the faiths
from ALL of the lands

Adjacent or nearby to HIM EHSI Museum
Our Holy Ground for Abraham and Sons
And all of our guests from all of the nations
Come worship together in Unity’s name

The north star is Jeshua
Who captured the gentiles
Northwest is Judaic to
Remember that journey
Southwest for Mohammed
Ethiopia gave shelter
South for Ras Tafari
For Africa, for Jah
Southeast for all the humanists
NGOs, peacemakers and enviros
Northeast for Eastern Faiths
Buddist and Hindu, Sikh and Bahai

Draw it on paper you will see what I mean
Start with the Star of the singing Saint-King
The Common in center holds all of the people
That can’t find a corner to love and fit in

Hold back your tongue you doubters and diers!
I don’t worship these idols you sell in your stores
Yet from each we can learn and be good hosts
As we would desire in a friendlier world

So hold back your tongues you friends of Belial
You know not your life then open not your mouth
How many times do I have to send this message?
Have you no Love of Life, no desire to see Jah?

Even if I die, I am just one more messenger
The temple gets built by the sure hand of Jah
For in His Name does Jeshua gain fame
There are still far too many who know not His Name

Sahara Wall is most crucial
For Africa and for Man
Azazel stops here
A line in the sand

Inafrica Line is the Hope of the Nations
Power from the sun and the winds blow all day
Connecting the people with water and transport
Medicine and power and knowledge and Light

Holy Tafari comes Third like a Trinity
Shining the Light of the LORD to all men
Preserving Thy Word for the global community
Creating a home for thy people and then

The Temple of the House of David
Shall rise in the northeast of Africa
Prepare for the Day of Peace among Men
By air, land and sea, they come to begin

SahInaHolDav, SahInaHolDav
Four steps to the Light
See SahInaHolDav

Who sent family to Ethiopia
To escape pagan persection
In a fine Christian Land?
Let Islamic people come

Who defended Jeshua
In the twentieth century
In the face of evil men?
Let Rasta and Amhara people come

Who can turn the cheek
Say prayers for the meek
Heal, help, each day of the week?
Let Christian people come

Who can claim Solomon
And Jeshua as kin
People of Abraham, Moses and David
Let Judaic and Palestinian people come

Who helps his brother
Samaritan sisters, nurses and doctors
Peacekeepers and nature preservers
Let those of good works come

Who leads by example
Whose peace is eternal
The East, so living and mystical
Let those of good mind come

Between the Temple and Museum
Remember Berhane, Bob Marley, Elijah
Saint John the Baptist, Holy Spirit and Light
For Nesta proclaimed HIM to the nations

He proclaimed HIM on High
With wailing Word and searing song
Miraculous mood and joyful tunes
Righteous among us, a Leader of Men

So build Bob a Pathway, a Garden
Outdoors under sky
With music and green pastures
Good people live High

A solar amphitheatre
For rejoicing with Brethren
Where people from all nations
Sing in Bob Marley Stadium

Seats for four thousand
With stage in the center
Grass hills that surround us
Hold eleven thousand more

Messawa, listen up!!!
This is no burden!!!!!
You now have your freedom
To be true and be great

They will come from Harar
They will come from Afar
From Addis Ababa
Jerusalem and Cairo

From New York and London
From Paris and Tokyo
From Toronto my home
They will build by your side

Even while they laugh at me and my brothers
Struggling for our lives in the desert
They will come to you Messawa

The Sacred and the Profane
The Holy and the disdainers
They will be curious of your wonders
These strange and beautiful new monuments

Oh, they will come to you, so be prepared
Stop the lies right about - NOW!
There, you feel better, now get on with the carpet
The foundation and roof

The Son of the silent silence
The crown of the silent night
Glory of the Father, Virtue of the Mother
Three powers came forth from Him

Jah provide the Father, the Mother, and the Son:
Eternal Father, mind as One
Virginal Mother, presiding over heaven,
Ineffable, uninterpretable power
She gave birth to herself!
In agreement with the silent Father

O Jah, through Thy providence
Illuminate the meaning of Son
Bring forth from Thy bosom
Thy secret of the seven seals

For who now is worthy?
Who is ready for Zion
For Jah Holy Herb
Twenty two revelations

I and My Father are One
Our work here is quietly done
We burn Kaneh Bosm, smoke herb in peace
Anointing each new Sacred Son

Teach my words in these eight cities
Jamaica, Tafari, Messawa, Harar
Mecca and Medina
Nazareth and Jerusalem

Shashemene, send some to Messawa
To Tafari come strong
Twelve Tribes in Tafari
Inafricans live free
