Amen

The word amen (/ˌɑːˈmɛn/ or /ˌˈmɛn/; Hebrew: אָמֵן, Modern amen, Tiberian ʾāmēn; Greek: ἀμήν; Arabic: آمين, ʾāmīn ; "So be it; truly") is a declaration of affirmation found in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. It has been generally adopted in Christian worship as a concluding word for prayers and hymns. Common English translations of the word amen include "verily" and "truly". It can also be used colloquially to express strong agreement, as in, for instance, amen to that.

Pronunciation

In English, the word amen has two primary pronunciations, ah-men (/ɑːˈmɛn/) or ay-men (/eɪˈmɛn/), with minor additional variation in emphasis (the two syllables may be equally stressed instead of placing primary stress on the second). The Oxford English Dictionary gives "ɑː'mɛn, eɪ'mεn".

In anglophone North America the ah-men pronunciation is used in performances of classical music, in churches with more formalized rituals and liturgy and in liberal to mainline Protestant denominations, as well as almost every Jewish congregation, in line with modern Hebrew pronunciation. The ay-men pronunciation, a product of the Great Vowel Shift dating to the 15th century, is associated with Irish Protestantism and conservative Evangelical denominations generally, and is the pronunciation typically used in gospel music.

Amen!

Amen! is the second album by singer and actress Della Reese. The album was her second record for Jubilee Records, and her first of many records dedicated solely to sacred and spiritual material. The album features background vocals by the Meditation Singers, which she had been a part of in the early ’50s. The album also features vocals by the then unknown singer Laura Lee, who had incidentally replaced Reese in the group, when she left in 1953.

The album was released on Compact Disc, alongside her 1959 album What Do You Know About Love?, for the first time in 2008, by Collector’s Choice.

    Amen. is a 2002 German, Romanian and French film directed by Costa-Gavras.

    Plot

    The film Amen. examines the links between the Vatican and Nazi Germany. The central character is Kurt Gerstein (Ulrich Tukur), a Waffen-SS officer employed in the SS Hygiene Institute, designing programs for the purification of water and the destruction of vermin. He is shocked to learn that the process he has developed to eradicate typhus, by using a hydrogen cyanide mixture called Zyklon B, is now being used for killing Jews in extermination camps. Gerstein attempts to notify Pope Pius XII (Marcel Iureş) about the gassings, but is appalled by the lack of response he gets from the Catholic hierarchy. The only person moved is Riccardo Fontana (Mathieu Kassovitz), a young Jesuit priest. Fontana and Gerstein attempt to raise awareness about what is happening to the Jews in Europe but even after Fontana appealing to the pope himself, the Vatican makes only a timid and vague condemnation of Hitler and Nazi Germany.

    by: Mac Miller

    [Verse 1: Da$h]
    Swim in fallopians of Ethiopian women
    The wheels are spinning, moon is glistening
    Few exquisite, Now if you have witnessed
    The youth is twisted, off purple liquid made to cure the sickness
    Feel like my vision took a big shift
    Smoking that Samson got me lifted
    I'm the one who gave your girl cousin them drugs
    Your little brother's plug, Spit instead your mother's mug
    Take a finest bottle, pour the liquor out for em'
    Once above, the last shot is for the homie's lock
    Liqour crop, hit the lot, double spinning till the Guinness drop
    Pull off in fourth gear, put it in park
    The whores, they see me, say the law's here
    My voice is hordes for them [?]
    Like over here, we don't support fear
    Road to the riches, and the course clear
    I'm riding till the tears sparking an exhaust tear
    [Verse 2: Ab-Soul]
    Actavis in cactus cooler
    I bit the Apple on the Mac computer, you a loser
    There ain't a subject I can't tackle, either now or sooner
    Ain't got no shoulder pads, but collateral pass to her
    Running back, running rap, I bet you wish she knew ya'
    Black Lip Pastor, hallelujah (Soulo, Soulo)
    Soulo in this ho, that mean this church up in this bitch
    Gave her a sermon then I hit, god
    I'm an entity into titties, a fat ass, some clean pussy, and some good weed
    Knowledge and wisdom in abundance, infinite energy
    And I'll be sure to write night and day, literally
    Deadline snapback, Backwoods in my backpack
    Xan with that lean nigga, shit you never seen nigga
    Put that on my team nigga, 3 i's, you see me bruh
    Careful, you know the game's T-D-E us
    [Verse 3: Vince Staples]
    I heard they out there praying for the death of me
    I been down to knock, it's my destiny
    I been round the block, it's no testin' me
    We been ran the north, it's no extra key
    So whatchu' got on lock my nigga?
    I tried to tell him, they ain't gon' get it
    I been prolific, been on this shit
    You can check mo millie, that was like 08's
    You niggas ain't no factors, Just come around cause we ain't no actors
    It's no scenes cut, just checks
    Don't waltz 25, but i'll take my time
    If a nigga come around, tryna' take what's mine
    Tryna' take my life? good luck with that
    We got guns for that, you not coming back
    I got fade in the bushes, lurkin' & lookin'
    Bout' that life, don't get yours took quick
    Just a story of some kids left stranded
    Couple of the homies and a couple automatics
    Come to the hood, get a good pack out
    Tombstone re-ripped, with your hood whacked out
    You know what he about, at Romana park till after dark
    They drain they pool, we swam with sharks
    We shooting fools off 7th street
    You make the bed in which you sleep
    I stay awake like visiting dead
    With the hammer sitting indiscreet, indescreets
    [Verse 4: RetcH]
    Sold drugs in your granny building
    In front' the children
    A piece of shit, i'll be considered the most
    Baby hand on the dinner plate
    I start the meal with a toast
    Three assorted cheeses, they garnish the both
    Cut the slices even
    Distribute them to my assemblage of these fucking heathens
    A bunch of demons in these polo fleeces
    I clutch the reapers into bay polices
    I burn the Priest and vanish in the breezes
    I talk to Jesus, reconsidered features
    Rain dance on black sanded beaches
    Pick from the tree that bare the fruit of peaches
    Slaying these skeezers and it feel the Eden
    These backwards got me with the heavy breathing
    Connecting Venus and the shit the cheapest
    I hit the party with the Sherm perm
    Ear rings look like strobe lights
    I cop the gold fish platforms for the cold price
    Hop out the V in all sequence, fish is Swedish
    Sway Padorian, my shit the meanest, you need it
    And i'm the founder of this shit
    On the forty-sixth floor eating flounder with the shrimp
    Got a awfully thick splore and I just pound her with the dick
    Get the dope from outta broad, destroy the county with the shit
    Piece of shit records, where dreams come true
    You saying fuck me? I'm saying fuck you
