Congos - Can't Come In (Cedric Myton) *You keep on knocking but you can't come in You've got to be clean You keep on knocking but you can't come in The door is locked on you, don't you know that it's true **When the Bridegroom cometh You've got to be ready When the Bridegroom cometh You've got to be clean ***There were ten Brethrens together Five were wise, and five were foolish, foolish So you keep on knocking but you can't come in... The rolling stone gathers no moss Too late, too late shall be your pride You keep on knocking but you can't come in You've got to be clean To rally round the Red, Gold and Green You keep on knocking but you can't come in The door is locked on you Mercy 'pon Jah Jah judgement come Telling the world... Biblical References... *Luke 13: 24-25 - Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: **Matthew 25: 6 - And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Luke 12: 35-37 - Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. ***Matthew 25: 1-13 - Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
