Give I Strength

Buju Banton

Lord give I strength

Never let I fail

To live out the greater part of my days

Give I strength

Jah give I strength

Never let I fail

To live out the greater part of my days

Give I strength



Indeed I see pestilence and plague

But I'm not afraid

They are looking for what they can take

Come in all size appear in all shape

Lord give us the vision to differentiate

Yeah they lay wait, we shall escape

God who protect is greater than great

In all that we do He holds our fate



Jah Jah give I strength

Never let I fail

To live out the greater part of my days

Give I strength

Jah give I strength

Never let I fail

To live out the greater part of my days

Give I strength



Teach the youths them right in the way they should grow

Joy is a stream constantly flow

And I don't want to be unhappy

Let me live till I'm gray

I work hard to get pay

Keep out of tale bearers and back-biters way

Never let this bit of education decay no way



Jah Jah give I strength

Never let I fail

To live out the greater part of my days

Give I strength

Jah give I strength

Never let I fail

To live out the greater part of my days

Give I strength

Jah Jah give I strength

Give I strength

Jah give us strength

Never let us fail

To live out the greater part of our days

Give us strength



(Ras Shiloh's part)

Keep out of tale bearers and back-biters way

Never let this bit of education decay no way



Jah Jah give I strength

Never let I fail

To live out the greater part of my days
