Forgive Me Jah Lyrics

[Intro]
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

[Verse 1]
The Lord is my light, let me tell you and my salvation
Oonu hear me, an' me seh who shall I fear
Not even heathen dem in a Babylon
Oonu hear that
Me seh me look and tell dem me no fear obeah man
Because me know all a dem a con man
Me nah go mix up with heathen congregation
Because de whole of dem is demon
Me seh some a play God de whole a dem a Satan
An' dem a vipers and vagabonds
Me seh me live in a de belly a de beast of Babylon
Me haf fe trod like a lion
Me a go take de long road up to river Jordan
Me haf fe reach mount Zion
And me seh in my Father's house there are many mansions
Him rule the ark of the covenant
Hear me tell dem
Hear me tell dem
[Hook]
And me seh, Jah me a beg You forgive me
(Jah)
Master God me a beg You forgive me
(Jah)
'Cause if a sin is against You only
(Jah)
Me haf fe devour mi adversary
(Jah)
Oonu hear me, Jah me a beg You forgive me
(Jah)
Master God me a beg You forgive me
(Jah)
'Cause if a sin is against You only
(Jah)
Me haf fe devour mi adversary

[Verse 2]
Forgive me Jah Jah 'cause if a sin is against You only
Oonu hear me 'cause me seh man to man is living unjustly
Jah man we can't trust nobody

A never we go trouble, trouble, trouble come trouble we
Me never powder mi enemy
An' now the wicked dem a perplex mi tranquility
But that a simple atrocity
'Cause I always been living in adversity
But dem still nah go break me
Let He without sin come find me guilty
Jah a mi judge and mi jury

Some a color me bad and some a seh me crazy
But them accusing me wrongly
An' me seh heavenly Father de Almighty
A Him a guide and protect me

Weh me tell dem?
Weh me tell dem?

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

Bless us Jah, Jah, a You alone a we guide and see
Oonu hear me, a with Thy rod and Thy staff
Jah, Jah comfort we
And Jah will never leave we lonely
Me know seh nothing in this world is impossible to Thee
Him a the key to eternity
Him will swim for dry land and Him will will walk pon sea
Him a de highest supremacy
Me seh Jah work miracle and create history
Me know me read it in the prophesy
Dem seh Him walk with the cross down to calvary
A sacrifice to forgive we
Seh one love one God and me seh one destiny
That a de truthful prophesy

A weh me tell dem
A weh me tell dem

[Hook]x5

[Outro]
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!
Amen
