Not only by the words of Your mouth
But the meditation of Your heart
Be accepted
In the sight of the Almighty one (x2)
See before your eyes
Seasons change but not mankind
A fool cannot be wise
What they sow they’ll reap in kind
In this time of derision
Some will do anything for position
More you rise they despise
Heathen rage vanity in mind
By the words of Your mouth
And the meditation of Your heart
Be accepted
In the sight of the Almighty one
What kinda lie?
Can you hate and love the most high?
No compromise
For the wolves in sheep’s disguise
In this crucial dispensation
Too much lies
Too much omissions
Just for wisdom fools will die
Their own judgement they have designed
By the words of Your mouth
And the meditation of Your heart
Be accepted
In the sight of the Almighty one
Will the words of Your mouth
And the meditation of Your heart
Be accepted
In the sight of the Almighty one?

Back In My Arms
03:53

Lonely days and lonely nights
Are all I have got
Since the one I loved
With all My heart
Has left Me and gone
Well I stay awake at nights
Praying for
You to be
In My arms
Like My words
Without no melody
Will never be a song
There’s no turning back
Hands of time
To make a right
From a wrong
It’s like I’m paying the price
Plead My cause
To hold You
Back in My arms
With broken heart tears I cry
Memories of You are all I find
But if miracle or dream come true
One day loving arms will behold You
Lonely days and lonely nights
Are all I have got
All the love I have
Within My heart
There’s no-one to behold
I stay awake at nights
Praying for
You to be
In My arms

Let's Make Up
04:51
|

|
You and I are so far apart
Each day and night I’m seeking signs
If We’ll start to talk
Tell Me what am I to do?
When we’re lost and so confused about
Who was wrong? I don’t know!
In a world that’s filled with blues
Sometimes words we choose
Get caught up We cuss
Let’s make it up
Let’s make love
Can desire bring us close?
Stop for a while
We leave the world behind the door
Tell Me what am I to do?
If pride won’t let us choose
To move on, groove on
Cause in a world that’s filled with blues
Sometimes we win we lose
Get caught up We fuss
Let’s make it up let’s make love
I’m partial to Your touch
Tell Me what am I to do?
When we’re lost and so confused about
Who was wrong? I don’t know!
Cause in a world that’s filled with blues
Sometimes we win we lose
Get caught up
Enough’s enough
Let’s make it up let’s make love
I’m partial to Your touch…

As the day
Turns to night
Feelings of love arise
Hold You close
Your heart and mine
Lead us to lovers paradise
So close
I am Yours
Forever be mine
Just a touch feels so right
You’re the best part of My life
Making love
Natural highs
You’re the best part of My Life
Chapters close
Sometimes
Love dies
Some lovers can’t satisfy
All I know
I’m Yours
Your mine
If We give our all love survives
I know
For sure
I am Yours
Forever be mine
Hold Me close feel the vibes
You’re the best part of My life
The meaning of love
“You and I”
You’re the best part of My Life
So close
I am Yours
Forever be mine…

Love Has Gone
07:41

Pain
Within My heart
Seems to reside
In My thoughts
How could right turn to wrong?
Too late is My cry
Love has gone
I need to know
Where love has gone?
Rain
Don’t stop fall
Wash away My tears
As I recall
How the nights are so long?
I ask Myself…
Where love has gone?
Pain
Release My heart
Why do You preside in My thoughts?
How could right turn to wrong?
Too late is My cry
Love has gone
I need to know
Where love has gone?

Turn tears of pain
To tears of joy
For every Woman,Man
Girl and Boy
As We lay our differences aside
Let thine ears be inclined
If faith is how mountains move
I believe it’s something We can do
Stand united heads held high
Show the world Our nations pride
As We sing
Jamaica
Jamaica
Land that We love
One nation Jamaicans
For the land that We love
Let’s join hands, hearts and minds
Unity with no divide
Try to walk Our heroes strides
May Our hopes and dreams be realised
See faith is how the mountain moves
I believe it’s something We can prove
Stand united heads held high
Show the world Your nations pride
As We sing
Jamaica

Land that We love
One nation Jamaicans
Out of many We are one
See faith is how a mountain moves
Do You believe it’s something We can do?
Stand united heads held high
Show the world Your nations pride
As We sing…

I’d walk a thousand miles
To see your face
Made by the hands of God
Amazing Grace
Your natural beauty
Like the stars I gaze
Beautiful woman from
The darkest of race
Beauty You are, beauty You are
Beauty You are, beauty You are
With You I’d spend my life
Both nights and days
Trust in My heart
You’ll never change Your ways
I know this world
Will try to keep you behind
Beautiful Woman
Made by the Divine
Beauty You are, beauty You are
Beauty You are, beauty You are

Riddim roll
Whole heap a Dem
Sell Dem soul
You know?
Don’t throw stones
If You live up inna glass house
Don’t throw stones
If You live up inna glass house
There is no excuse
To use another just to refuse
Your blessings You will lose
Cah Jah nuh partial
Only few He’ll choose
Cause
Every heart in chest
Deal with cleanliness
Don’t You fail the test
Life can’t start again
Are You east or west?
One thing I’ll suggest
Not only words
Your actions will reveal best
Don’t throw stones
If You live up inna glass house
Don’t throw stones
If You live up inna glass house
Tell Me what’s the use?
Today You love
Tomorrow You rebuke
But it’s there for all to view
Head cornerstone
The one that You refused
So
When You disrespect
Show no intellect
Proves You failed the test
Can’t start over again
Are You east or west?
One thing I’ll suggest
By Your deeds
You’ll be reviewed
So
Don’t throw stones
If You live up inna glass house
Don’t throw stones
If You live up inna glass house
Tell Me what’s the use
Today You love
Tomorrow You rebuke
But
Your blessings You will lose
Jah nuh partial
Ready Armagideon…

Far As Eye Can See

As far as eye can see
Under Jah moon and sun
The war will never cease
Until thy kingdom come
Did you hear the news?
How they sacrificed the youths
What they speak is what they do
While see and blind
Is what You choose
As far as eye can see
Under Jah moon and sun
We will never be free
Until thy kingdom come
Why you so confused
Nuh every day we sing the blues?
Evil what they choose
While righteousness refused
As far as eye can see
The writings on the wall
We will never be free
Until we all know love.
As far as eye can see
Under Jah moon and sun
Behind are the Philistines
My Heels will never fall
As far as eye can see…

Where Is Your Love
04:10

Where is Your Love?
Where is Your Love?
Is there a use for corrupted hearts?
Filled with thorns
In due season You’ll reap Your rewards
Where is Your Love?
Out of reach and out of sight
Like a breeze that blows
And the stars that come out in the night
Is there no use for Your teeth and tongue?
But to scoff and scorn
The builders rejected stones
Where is Your Love?
Where is Your Love?
Is there a use for Your hands and heart?
You plot and ploy
Sow seeds to instigate wars
Where is Your Love?
Can’t see and I can’t find
Like a ship that’s lost
Battered by angry tides
There’s no use
Like a root that bears no vine
You take the truth and turn it into a lie
Where is Your Love?
Where is Your Love?
