Jah!

Plead my cause, oh Lord, with them that strive with me
Fight against them that fight against me
Take a hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help
Draw out also the spear and stop the way
Against them that persecute me
Say unto my soul, I am Thy salvation

Mi Lion!
An' me tell You
Amen

The Lord is my light, let me tell you and my salvation
Oonu hear me, an' me seh who shall I fear

But them accusing me wrongly
An' me seh heavenly Father de Almighty

And Jah will never leave we lonely

Me know seh nothing in this world is impossible to Thee

Me know me read it in the prophesy
Dem seh Him walk with the cross down to calvary
A sacrifice to forgive we

That a de truthful prophesy
