Lyrics

Take one day off and rest yourself
Praise your God for another day
Take one day off and rest yourself
Praise your God for another day
Praise him
Praise him
Take one day off and rest yourself
Praise your God for another day
Take a day off and rest yourself
Praise your God for another day
Praise him
Praise him
Praise Him for life and everything
Praise Him for life and everything
Praise your God (Alla is Jah Rastafari), praise your God, praise your God
Praise your God, praise your God (Alla Jah Rastafari), praise your God
Praise your God
Take a day off and rest yourself
Praise your God for another day
Take a day off and rest yourself
Praise your God for another day
Take a day off and rest yourself
Praise your God for another day
Take a day off and rest yourself
Praise your God for another day
Praise him
Praise him
Some days you work
Some days you don't
Some days you don't
Some days you don't
Take a day off and rest yourself
Praise your God for another day
Take a day off and rest yourself
Praise your God for another day
Praise your God, praise your God, praise your God (praise your God for another day)
Praise your God (praise him every day), praise your God, praise your God
Praise your God, praise your God, praise your God (praise your God for another day)
Praise your God, praise your God, praise your God
Praise your God, praise your God (praise him), praise your God (praise him)
Praise your God (praise him), praise your God, praise your God (praise him)
Praise your-
