Chorus

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



Verse 1

indeed I see pestilence and plague

but Im not afraid

they are looking for what they can take

come in all size appear in all shape

lord give us 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 faite



Chorus

Verse 2

teach the youths them right in the way they should grow

joy is a stream constantly flow

and I dont want to be unhappy

let me live till Im 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



Chorus
