LYRICS: "Shake The Dust Off"A prophet is not honored
In his own country
Not in his own country
Not in his home
A prophet is not honored
In his own country
Not in his own country
He's got to go
He's got to go, go, go…
Shake off that dust!
Shake the dust off, yeah, yeah
Shake the dust off, uh, uh
Come on and shake that dust off of your feet, ya
Shake the dust off, huh huh
Shake the dust off, yeah, yeah
Come on and take the good news to the street, yeah
When a door is closed just wait another one will open
So no bother try to knock it down like the police, NO!
When a door is closed thank God another one is open
Then shake all the dust from off your dirty feet
Shake the dust off
Shake the dust off
Shake that dust off of your feet, ya
Shake the dust off, huh huh
Shake the dust off, yeah, yeah
Come on and take that good news to the street, yeah
Shake off that dust!
Staying in my lane and I’m going up
Take a dirt road straight to the the hilltop
Climb up just shout from the rooftop
They plot, we won’t stopWhen an enemy come my way
Same hits but different day
They try to make it stop
But just like dust I’ll shake it off
Shake shake shake
Shake shake, shake, shake off that dust
Shake shake shake
Shake shake
shake off that dust (dust off)
Shake shake shake
Shake shake, shake off that dust
Shake shake shake
Shake shake
shake dust
Shake the dust off, uh, uh
Shake the dust off, ah, ah,
Come on and shake that dust off of your feet, uh
Shake the dust off, uh ha
Shake the dust off, ah, ah
Come on and take the good news to the street, yeah
Bless those who curse you
Better pray for those who hurt you
You’ll need the strength of God
To help you when you’re weak
Love those who hate you
With your coat
Give them your shirt too
And if they slap
You better turn the other cheekShake the dust off
Shake the dust off
Shake that dust off of your feet, ya
Shake the dust off, huh huh
Shake the dust off, yeah, yeah
Come on and take that good news to the street, yeah
Shake that dust
Shake that dust
Shake that dust
Off of your dirty feet
They wanna take me down but I’m going up
Take the high road and carry their heavy load
Sometimes I wanna say I’ve had enough
Then I’m reminded Christ truly had it tough
They fight and fuss and cuss
Their actions are so unjust
My mindset must adjust
So I do this dance and shake off the dust
Shake shake shake
Shake shake, shake, shake off that dust
(Shake off the dust)
Shake shake shake
Shake shakeshake off that dust (dust off)
(Shake off the dust)
Shake shake shake
Shake shake, shake off that dust
(Shake off the dust)
Shake shake shake

Shake the dust off, yeah, yeah
Shake the dust off, uh, uh
Come on and shake that dust off of your feet, ya
Shake the dust off, huh huh
Shake the dust off, yeah, yeah
Come on and take that good news to the street
FULL-TIME MISSIONARIES
After visiting places like Africa, Central and South America, and some of the most remote islands on earth, it became clear also to the rest of the band that these were the types of places that the Lord wanted them to invest their time and talents in from here on out. Their mission was simple: “To reach the lost at any cost and make disciples of every nation.” But the band quickly became troubled by the reality that Third World nations and developing countries couldn’t afford to fly out even a single member of the band, let alone their entire team.
After the inception of Christafari, the band took several annual mission trips to Jamaica. “The funny thing is that one of my first prayers to the Lord after coming to Christ,” recalls Mohr “was, ‘Please don’t make me a missionary in the jungle in some Third World country.’” He now thanks the Lord for not answering that prayer – for it would quickly become the greatest desire of his heart.
So they became full-time musical missionaries – willing to travel to the ends of the earth in an effort to preach the Gospel through the universal language of music to those who could never afford them in conventional terms. Each of the members in Christafari has the same mission and vision, a commitment that requires tremendous sacrifice and discomfort. But this is right where they believe the Lord has called them. Seeing lives changed across the globe makes it entirely worth their while, and the results have been astonishing: in the last few years alone, the band has seen over 3/4 of a million decisions for Christ at their free outreach events! They are well on their way towards their goal of seeing one million decisions for Christ.
