Oh Jah
Glen Washington
(written by Glen Washington, N. Livingston)

This is a prayer of sincerity and love for His Majesty...

Oh Jah, who makes my joys come over.
Oh Jah, bless your sons and daughters.
Oh Jah, my maker, my creator.
Oh Jah, who saves me from the vulture.
Open  their eyes and let them heed the warning.
Let them see the fire is still burning.

Wicked men don't you know,
judgement is at your door,
Jah will be there to even the score.
And all the evil things you do,
to the weak the humble and poor,
right now poor people can't take no more.

Oh Jah, who makes my joys come over.
Oh Jah, bless your sons and daughters.
Oh Jah, my maker, my creator.
Oh Jah, who saves me from the vulture.
Keep me strong, lest I lose my culture.

One thing I'd really love to see,
is peace and harmony,
all people living in unity.
I want the whole world to know,
how much I love Jah so,
I'll sing out his praises where ever I go.

Oh Jah, who makes my joys come over.
Oh Jah, bless your sons and daughters.
Oh Jah, my maker, my creator.
Oh Jah, who save me from the vulture.
Change their minds, from racial partiality.
Touch their hearts, teach them peace and harmony.

Oh Jah, who makes my joys come over.
Oh Jah, bless your sons and daughters.
Let it be so they'll see, Thy righteousness in me.
Let them be led to glorify Thee.
And all that's in captivity,
Oh Jah let their minds be free.
Let them denounce their iniquity.

Oh Jah, who makes my joys come over.
Oh Jah, bless your sons and daughters.
Oh Jah, my maker, my creator.
Oh Jah, who saved me from the vulture.

Wicked men don't you know,
judgement is at your door,
Jah will be there to even the score.
And all the evil things you do,
to the weak the humble and poor,
right now poor people can't take no more.
Oh Jah, who makes my joys come over
