Can't Come In Lyrics

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...

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.
