1983 Lyrics by Rod Taylor

If Jah Should Come Now

0

[Intro]
Holy one and faithful one
Come from glory land

[Verse 1]
Holy one and faithful one come from glory land
King of kings and lord of lords, blessed one is he
Dread will be dreader than sun
It is coming from the tribe of Solomon
So sing our song, almighty one, a when he goes no one can know
A when he goes, none of them know
So sing our song, holy mighty one

[Chorus]
We want to go home to our foreparents land
For by nineteen eighty-three Africa must be free
Uh yeah, Africa must be free, uh yeah

[Verse 2]
So give praises continually, oh yeah
All I know, he will come likе a lamb, no-no
To no slaughter, but natty, yeah
But like a thiеf in the night, for Jah will live forever and ever more
As far as I see Jah Jah children must be free
So nice, so keen walk in on the scene
He said dread, he'll be dreader than son
Who step from the tribe of Solomon, down in a Babylon
And face great tribulation, and a lot of prosecution

[Chorus]
Holy-holy one from glory land
Holy mighty king, come let us sing our song now, yeah

[Outro]
This is a tribute to Jah, yeah
Uh, uh-uh-uh, oh yeah
Down in Geneva seventy two nation bow to natty dread
So who is he, Babylon, you got to find out for yourself
Who is he, Babylon, you have to find out for yourself
Who is he, wicked Babylon, you got to find out for yourself
