(Roots Reggae — steady, heartfelt, strong)
Intro
Yeah… hear me now…
Jah, I lift my voice to Thee…
Every day, every night…
Guide me, keep me, open up the way…
Jah bless! ✊
Verse 1
Jah bless the work of my hands, yeah I tour day and night
I’m moving steady, trying to make things right
Bare foot pon di road, sun hot pon mi head
Mi nuh give up, mi nuh turn back, mi nuh bow mi head
Jah bless mi work — open up new door
Make di road straight, make di burden lighter than before
I want secure future for mi pickney dem
So dem nuh fi walk di hard road weh mi walk dem!
Verse 2
Mi see trouble, mi see pain, mi see hardship too
Lived inna di blaze, nothing nuh easy, nothing nuh new
Night time come, sleep nuh come, mind a run all about
Next move, next step — Jah, show mi di route!
Mi nuh want mi children fi see what mi done see
No more struggle, no more weeping, set dem free
Provide for mi family, give mi strength and grace
Let di work of mi hands find favour in Your place!
Chorus
Jah bless! Jah bless di work of mi hands 🙌
Open avenues, expand mi plans
Jah bless! From sunrise to di setting sun
Every single struggle, Jah, You know mi done
Jah bless! Mi look up, help a go come
Jah bless di work — it shall not be undone!
My children shall stand tall, they don’t have to fall
Jah bless the work — answer to mi call!
Verse 3
Some a say hard times, some a say road rough
But mi know Jah is enough, mi rock and mi tough
When door close, Jah open bigger one
When strength fail, Him give mi brand new one
Hand pon di plough, mi nuh look back again
Faith a mi shield, prayer a mi chain
Jah know mi heart, Him see mi sacrifice
Him a go make mi light shine bright, bright, bright!
Bridge
I lift my hands to You, oh Most High
You are the source of my supply
No lack, no shame, no fear, no doubt
Jah’s provision is pouring out
From generation to generation
Your blessing is my confirmation!
Chorus (x2 — full energy)
Jah bless! Jah bless di work of mi hands 🙌
Open avenues, expand mi plans
Jah bless! From sunrise to di setting sun
Every single struggle, Jah, You know mi done
Jah bless! Mi look up, help a go come
Jah bless di work — it shall not be undone!
Outro (slow, rising, then LOUD at the end)
My kids won’t see what I have seen…
They’ll walk in grace… walk in peace…
Jah bless the work…
Of my hands…
Yeah…
