Lyrics
Blessed be unto those who put their trust in the true and living God
Yes, I beseech man and man to cease from war
Inna dem yah judgement time, yeah
Now beware, here come the sign of the beast (666)
Mark his pagan season (December 25th)
Don't be no part of his system
I'm sure he'll use you as one of his victims
And if you ask him where him going
Him walking to and fro (Make fire burn him)
No place in my Father's kingdom
For such a spirit, evil spirit (Oh Jah)
Oh Jah, oh Jah, I pray thee now, yeah now
You didn't have to do it
But you do it to save my soul
Oh Jah, oh Jah now, woah
You didn't have to do it
But you do it, you do it and you still do it, yeah
Satan is a sly old fox
If I catch him, I'd lock him in a box (Make fire burn him)
Lock that box and throw away the key
For all them funny tricks Satan played on me now
And if you ask him where him going
Him walking to and fro (Make fire burn him)
No place in my Father's kingdom
For such a spirit, evil spirit (Oh Jah)
Oh Jah, oh Jah, I pray thee now, yeah now
You didn't have to do it
But you do it to save my soul
Oh Jah, oh Jah, my Father, woah
You didn't have to do it
But you do it, you do it and you still do it, yeah
Now beware, here come the sign of the beast (666)
Mark his pagan season (December 25th)
Don't be no part of his system
I'm sure he'll use you as one of his victims
And if you ask him where him going
Him walking to and fro (Make fire burn him)
No place in my Father's kingdom
For such a spirit, one evil spirit (Oh Jah)
Oh Jah, oh Jah, my Father
You didn't have to do it
But you do it to save my soul
Oh Jah, oh Jah, I pray of thee each and every day
You didn't have to do it
But you do it, yes you do it (Oh Jah)
Oh Jah, oh Jah, I'm a asking of thee every day
(You didn't have to do it)
But you save a wretched soul like me (You save my soul)
Oh (Oh Jah), woah
Oh Jah, and for years like that first
(You didn't have to do it)
Shall live to see the day when our enemies stand
(But you do it, you do it and you still do it)
To feel their seekers in the presence of the Most High (Oh Jah)
Jah Rastafari, I sing praises
You didn't have to do it
But you save a soul like me (You save my soul)
Why did you have to do it? (Oh Jah)
What did I do to deserve all of this, oh Jah?
Yes, I beseech man and man to cease from war
Inna dem yah judgement time, yeah
Now beware, here come the sign of the beast (666)
Mark his pagan season (December 25th)
Don't be no part of his system
