Lyrics

Jesus went into the mountain Many years ago, His disciples were there And He began to speak, with new meanings So very loud and clear He said, blessed are the poor For they shall have food And blessed are the merciful And the pure in heart But there shall be no mercy For the prosecutor, who works in the dark So let us give praise, Jah Jah children Let our soul be free, huh! And let us have faith, Jah Jah children And our conscience set us free So when we pray We must pray for each other What do we need, but goodness and love For all our brothers, sisters, huh! He said, blessed are the poor For they shall have food And blessed are the merciful And the pure in heart But there shall be no mercy For the prosecutor, who works in the dark Come, let us give praise, Jah Jah children Let our souls be free And let us have faith, Jah Jah children Let our hearts be free And when we pray We must pray for each other 'Cause what do we need But goodness and love For all our brothers, and sisters To see the light That shine for tomorrow, huh! There won't be no sorrow Let us have love and faith To carry us all We must have faith And we will be strong
