Guard at the Gate

Hallelu, Hallelu
JAH! Set a guard at the gate of my heart
To keep away all filth and corruption
JAH! Set a guard at the gate of my soul
Drive away vanity and those who lust after silver and gold

One come to rob, plunder and steal
The Holy One come to save and to heal
Some sit up in a mansion sipping their wine
Others them are dying on the front line
See the rich them getting richer while the poor stay poor
Ask them what they want, Babylon cry "more, more and more"
Tree that grows crooked no man can make straight
No greediness shall enter through Zion gate

Hallelu, Hallelu
I & I no falter. Duppy, hater, badmind dem we a conquer
Pure heart and clean hands, we approach the altar
Keep fear, hate and jealousy away far from me
So my vibe no alter
Rastafari is my Rock of Gibraltar

JAH! Set a guard at the gate of my heart
To drive away all death and destruction
JAH! Set a guard at the gate of my soul
To keep away dutty work and those who lust after silver and gold

I want to go where the milk and honey flow
I want to be where JAH children feel irie
Free, so free, to sit beneath the tree
Reason with my brethren and praise His Majesty

Hallelu, Hallelu
JAH! Set a guard at the gate of my heart
JAH! Set a guard at the gate of my soul

Ves al natty dreadlock en la montaña
Ven al rastaman allá en la montaña. Jah Jah man toma agua de la fuente
Natty dread bebe agua de la fuente
Las aves en el campo cantan, rasta en el monte cultivando
La buena medicina el planta, la verde y olorosa ganja
