    Story Behind the Song
    Inspired by a chant from our dear departed friend and mentor, Rastafarian Elder Ras Pidow, who's work on this eathly plane was cut short by vicious thugs earlier this year. However; his influence continues to be felt, and the seeds that were his mission to sow are bearing fruit even now, as evidenced by this tribute to Rasta culture and theocracy.

    Lyrics
    I give thanks and praise in the morning
    while the bright sunshine is dawning
    I pray for guidance and protection
    as I go through Babylon
    give thanks, give thanks
    give thanks oh yes give thanks
    give thanks, give thanks
    give thanks hail H.I.M. give thanks
    The herb is the healing of the nations
    it was bred from JAH creation
    helps I in Iya meditation
    it keeps me clean and strong
    give thanks, give thanks
    give thanks oh yes give thanks
    give thanks, give thanks
    give thanks I-Man give thanks
    JAH is the One Foundation
    He leads us from temptation
    He is I Light and Salvation
    I know He'll lead me on
    give thanks, give thanks
    give thanks oh yes give thanks
    give thanks, give thanks
    give thanks hail H.I.M. give thanks
    Oh in the summertime
    in the winter
    and in the autumn
    in the springtime
    oh what a springtime
    we'll give thanks
    give thanks, give thanks
    give thanks oh yes give thanks
    give thanks, give thanks
    give thanks hail H.I.M. give thanks
    Oh Our Father
    Who Dwell In Zion
    Niyabinghi
    Oh what a glory
    when the whole world did give thanks
    give thanks, give thanks
    give thanks oh yes give thanks
    give thanks, give thanks
    give thanks hail H.I.M. give thanks
    Oh Rastafari
    is the Conquering
    Lion Of Judah!
    Twelve Trbes Of Israel
    let's Inite and I give thanks
    give thanks, give thanks
    give thanks oh yes give thanks
    give thanks, give thanks
    give thanks hail I-Man give thanks
    JAH is the Whole Foundation
    He leads I and I from temptation
    He is I Light and Salvation
    I know He'll lead I and I on
    give thanks, give thanks
    give thanks oh yes give thanks
    give thanks, give thanks
    give thanks hail H.I.M. give thanks
    give thanks, give thanks
