I knew that jah would never forsake I
And I know he won’t,
I knew that jah would never forsake me
No, no, no, no,
I knew that jah would never forsake me oh, no, no, no,
I knew that jah would never forsake me so, so
I heard them seh lock the door
And shut him out that’s what them seh
I heard them seh clean him up from off the south aye! Aye! Aye!
I heard them seh lies and illusions,
Too much
I heard them seh lies and illusions
So I got to pray
Our father who art in zion,
Hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come jah
Thy will be done on earth yeah!
As it is in zion
And give us this day our daily bread, ohhy! Ohhy!
And forgive us, our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against we
That our days might be long
To give thee praises, praises, oh jah
So I know, so I know, I knew that jah would never forsake me, lord
I knew that jah would never forsake me
No, father I knew that jah would never forsake me
Though they try and try and try
Them block one door jah open up another
Them block one door, too much lies, too much
Them block one door jah open up another
Them block one door, lord I got to say
Unto mt. Zion, I lift up mine eyes
From whence cometh my salvation
In thee oh jah I put my trust
For thou art my redemption
Just like moses in the pit of moab
Jah jah is my shield and sword
Some trust in gain and some trust in vain
Selassie “I” is my defense
So, so, so, so, so, so
Them block one door,
Jah open up another
Them block one door,
Protect I jah
Them block one door,
Jah open up another
Them block one door,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Unto the hills I lift up mine eyes
From whence cometh I salvation
For unto jah, unto jah ras tafari
I lift up mine eyes, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Protect I jah, protect I jah, protect I jah from the heathen
Them block one door jah open up another
Them block one door, too much lies, too much
Them block one door
