Father God, we come before you today
And we come to You with a clean heart
We come to you, as Your humble servant
And we put everything in Your hands
Father God, we pray for the sinners of the world
The gun man, the rapists, the backbiters, the warmongers
The obeah workers
Father God, you see someone is standing over me
With one intention, with a gun in his hand
But I pray for him, I pray that you will bless him
I pray that you will change him
I pray that you will join him from his wicked ways
And let him see how sweet salvation is

Jaw star
Jah know star
Jaw star you a hear
Jah know

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Jaw me done with dem thing yah
Jah know
