Give Thanks And Praises Lyrics

[Intro]
Give thanks and praises to the Most-I (Jah!)
Give thanks and praises so high (so high)
He will not deceive us my brethren
He will only lead us again (again)
Oh, take that veil from off of your eyes
Look into the future of realize

[Verse 1]
Noah had three sons, Ham, Shem and Japheth (Ham, Shem and Japheth)
And in Ham is known to be the Prophet

Glory to Jah, the Prophet is come (through all these ages)
Glory to Jah, the Prophet has come (through all these stages)
When my soul was hurting deep within
And I'm worrying to be free, desperately, yeah
So guide and protect I'n'I, O Jah - Jah
Through all these ages
Guide and protect I'n'I, O Jah - Jah
Through all these stages

[Break]
Rastafari is his Name (Jah!)
Rastafari is his Name (Jah!)
If Jah didn't love I (love I)
If I didn't love I (love I)
If Jah didn't love I (love I)
If I didn't love I
Would I be around today?
Would I be around to say
[Outro]
Give thanks and praises, give thanks and praises
Give thanks and praises, give thanks and praises
Give thanks and praises, give thanks and praises [fadeout]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
