Here I come again, Jah Jah
Before your presence we're singing
Lord, watch over our shoulders tonight
And help us live thy words tomorrow
Let's not forget where we're from
Father, show us the way to go
You said I must love and feed my enemies
And I'm gonna do it
You said I shouldn't change or grudge
And I won't; not even for a minute
Let only truth come from my lips
Bless our souls, 'cause without you we can't make it
Lord, watch over our shoulders tonight
And help us live thy words tomorrow
Let's not forget where we're from
Father, show us the way to go
You're the wind beneath my wings
Seen me through all little things
You lifted me when I was down
Now you have me standing on higher ground
Lord, watch over our shoulders tonight
And help us live thy words tomorrow
Let's not forget where we're from
Father, show us the way to go
How excellent is thy name?
Deliver us from sin and shame
Out of the mouths of babes and suckling
You are ordained strength
Oh Jah, I'm depending on you
Oh, no other help I know
Oh Jah, I'm depending on you
Oh, no other help I know
You're the only way
Guide me day by day
With you I wanna stay
Please don't go away
Lord, watch over our shoulders tonight
And help us live thy words tomorrow
Let's not forget where we're from
Father, show us the way to go
You said I must love and feed my enemies
And I'm gonna do it
You said I shouldn't change or grudge
And I won't; not even for a minute
Let only truth come from my lips
Bless our souls, Lord without you we can't make it
Lord, watch over our shoulders tonight
And help us live thy words tomorrow
Let's not forget where we're from
Father, show us the way to go
You're the wind beneath my wings
Seen me through all little things
You lifted me when I was down
Now you have me standing on higher ground
Lord, watch over our shoulders tonight
And help us live thy words tomorrow
Let's not forget where we're from
Father, show us the way to go
Oh Jah, I'm depending on you
Oh, no other help I know
Whoah Jah, I'm depending on you
No other help I know.. oh-oh -oh
Watch over our shoulders
Help us live thy words
Ooo-ee
Alright
Lord, watch over our shoulders tonight
And help us live thy words tomorrow
Let's not forget where we're from
Father, show us the way to go
Lord, watch over our shoulders tonight
And help us live thy words tomorrow
Let's not forget where we're from
Father, show us the way to go
