[Jamaican Patois] Unshaken

Lyrics

[Intro — Gentle, Reverent, Building]

Oh-oh-oh, Almighty One,  
Ova di earth, beyond di sun.  
When all 'roun' start fi tumble down,  
Yuh heavenly throne still wear di crown.

Hallelujah, hallelujah,  
Yuh reign foreva, mi sure.  
Hallelujah, hallelujah,  
Wi refuge still secure.



[Verse 1 — Refuge in the Storm]

Inna yuh, mi soul find rest,  
Mi shelter when mi faith get test.  
Why mi fi run whey heights dem call,  
Like frighten bird weh night enthrall?

When danger whisper, "Run weh,"  
Yuh presence gimme strength fi stay.  
Mi confidence nuh inna flight,  
But inna di Lord, mi saving light.



[Verse 2 — Arrows in the Darkness]

Deh wicked pull dem arrow tight,  
Dem aim inna di dark a night.  
Hidden unda di cloak a night,  
Dem hunt di heart weh walk upright.

When truth get threaten, justice mash,  
When all foundation seem fi crash,  
An' righteous heart cry, "What fi do?"  
Yuh sovereign power still come through.



[Pre-Chorus — Faith Above Fear]

When di ground beneath wi shake,  
When di world 'roun' wi break,  
Yuh remain, foreva true,  
All wi hope find waan place inna Yuh.



[Chorus — Unshaken]

Unshaken, unshaken,  
Yuh throne nuh ever fall!  
Above di heavens, reigning,  
Yuh see an' judge wi all.

Unshaken, unshaken,  
Wi refuge through di night.  
When every earthly pillar fall,  
Yuh stand inna holy light.

Oh-oh-oh, foreva Yuh reign,  
Through di fire, through di rain.  
Unshaken, unshaken,  
Wi God remain di same!



[Verse 3 — The Holy Throne]

Inna yuh sacred dwelling,  
Yuh reign inna majesty an' blessing.  
Yuh royal seat rise 'bove di skies,  
No hidden ting escape yuh eyes.

Yuh search di depth a every soul,  
Each secret thought, each hidden goal.  
No mortal heart escape yuh sight,  
Yuh weigh wi ways in perfect light.



[Verse 4 — The Testing of Hearts]

Di just an' unjust face yuh gaze,  
Dem heart reveal 'neath yuh rays.  
Yuh test di faithful, prove dem ways,  
Through trial, refine dem songs a praise.

But dem weh cherish violent deeds,  
Dem heart delight when odda bleed,  
Yuh holy nature turn away,  
Cyaan share yuh way wid cruelty.



[Pre-Chorus — The Righteous Judge]

Yuh know di heart a everyone,  
Every daughter, every son.  
Mercy flow, but justice stand,  
All creation inna yuh hands.



[Chorus — Unshaken]

Unshaken, unshaken,  
Yuh throne nuh ever fall!  
Above di heavens, reigning,  
Yuh see an' judge wi all.

Unshaken, unshaken,  
Wi refuge through di night.  
When every earthly pillar fall,  
Yuh stand inna holy light.

Oh-oh-oh, foreva Yuh reign,  
Through di fire, through di rain.  
Unshaken, unshaken,  
Wi God remain di same!



[Verse 5 — The Judgment of Evil]

Pon di wicked judgment fall,  
Like blazing embers from yuh hall.  
Burning sulphur, fire from above,  
Answer fi di violence dem love.

A scorching tempest fill dem cup,  
Di bitter portion measure up.  
No hidden darkness cyaan endure,  
Before yuh judgment, just an' pure.



[Verse 6 — The Promise of His Face]

Fi yuh righteous, Lord a light,  
Every judgment pure an' right.  
Yuh cherish deeds a truth an' grace,  
An' honour dem who seek yuh ways.

Di upright shall behold yuh face,  
An' stand before yuh throne a grace.  
Beyond di shadows, fear, an' night,  
Dem see yuh glory shining bright.

[Bridge — Prayer When Foundations Fall]

God weh deh 'pon di heavens, listen wi cry,  
When every hope pon earth done dry.  
When di ground a shake 'neath wi foot,  
When no shelter deh, no way fi look.

Search wi heart, clean up wi ways,  
But spare wi life through di testing days.  
No mek di trials bring wi end,  
Be wi Redeemer an' wi Friend.

Look wid compassion pon di Chosen One,  
Jesus Christ, yuh holy Son.  
Through Him, restore di broken soul,  
Bring wi healing, mek wi whole.

Oh, heal wi, Lord, heal wi again,  
Through every sorrow, every pain.  
In Jesus Christ, wi hope sure,  
Yuh love an' mercy shall endure.

[Final Chorus — Triumphant, Full Choir]

Unshaken, unshaken,  
Yuh throne nuh goan fall!  
Above di heavens, reigning,  
Yuh si an' judge we all.

Unshaken, unshaken,  
Our refuge through di night.  
When every earthly pillar falls,  
Yuh stand in holy light.

Yuh love what's just, yuh love what's true,  
Our hearts a turn in faith to you.  
Di upright shall see yuh face,  
An' live inna yuh holy grace.

Unshaken, unshaken,  
Forever yuh remain!  
From generation to generation,  
Yuh righteousness shall reign!

[Outro — Soft, Prayerful]

When foundations fall, yuh remain.  
When shadows rise, yuh still reign.  
When hearts a test, hear wi prayer,  
O God of heaven, meet wi there.

Through Jesus Christ, restore an' heal,  
Yuh truth, yuh justice, love reveal.

Hallelujah, hallelujah,  
Yuh throne high above.  
Hallelujah, hallelujah,  
Our refuge, righteous God.

Unshaken...  
Forever unshaken...  
Amen.
