Scriptures

[Intro]
**intelligible speech**
Let Jah be free
Lord above
Rastafari!

[Verse 1]
Put your trust in Jah
Learn to keep the faith
Never lost your way
The Most High is so great
Don't you turn aside
Pay your respect now
A new love will come by any means
Any how

[Chorus]
Jah bear my witness
Life worth more than riches
Read it in the Scriptures
Go and read your Scriptures
Jah bear my witness
Most High cleanse all sickness
Read it in the Scriptures
Go and read your Scriptures

[Verse 2]
He's the king of Zion
He is the Conquering Lion
Little David slew the giant
Only Jah can make us strong

[Chorus]
Heaven bear thy witness
Life worth more than riches
Go and read your Scriptures
Go and read the Scriptures
Heaven bear thy witness
Most High cleanse all sickness
Go and read the Scriptures
Go and read your Scriptures

[Verse 3]
Eh, system designed
Things keep happening
Now it seems, surprising to them
Things they've been fantasising
Hypnotising them
Why-yyyy won't they take heeeeed?
Nowadays why-yyyy
They don't wanna reeeaaaad
Nowadays why-yyyy
They don't wanna live
Nowadays
Seem as if they're not holding strong
They only wanna speed

[Chorus]
Nowadays, Jah bear my witness
Life worth more than riches
Children read it in the Scriptures
Go and read the Scriptures
Jah bear my witness
Most High cleanse all sickness
Read it in the Scriptures
Yeah oww

[Hook]
King Selassie I say
Material things will fade, yeah yeah
And loveth giveth length of days
I, would be lying if I say I don't love Jah
No denying, put no one above Jah
Give Jah all the praise
JAH BEAR MY WITNESS!

[Outro]
Life worth more than riches
Go and read your Scriptures
Go and read your Scriptures
Jah bear my witness
Most High cleanse all sickness
