Give Thanks
Bob Marley · Confrontation [1983]
Give Thanks and Praises So High
He will not deceive us my brethren
He will only lead us again
Oh take that veil from off of your eyes
Look into the future of realise
Noah had three suns, Ham, Shem and Japhet
And in Ham is known to be the Prophet
Glory to JAH the Prophet is come
Through all these ages
Glory to JAH the Prophet has come
Through all these stages
When my soul was hurtin deep within
And I'm worrying to be free, desperately, Yeah
So guide and protect I and I Oh JAH, JAH
Through all these ages
Guide and protect I and I Oh JAH, JAH
Through all these stages
Rastafari is His Name, JAH Rastafari is His Name, JAH
If JAH Didn't love I, if I didn't love I
If JAH Didn't love I, if I didn't love I
Would I be around today
Would I be around to say
Give Thanks and Praises, Give Thanks and Praises
Give Thanks and Praises, Give Thanks and Praises
Give Thanks and Praises, Give Thanks and Praises
Give Thanks
