Lyrics Silk Chant - Garnett Silk

Be still, all ye enemies of Jah
And know that the Lord God Jah the Almighty
Shall wound the head of his enemies

Jah! Rastafari, Haile Selassie the First

Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered
Let them also that hate him flee before him
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away
As wax melteth before the fire
So let the wicked perish at the presence of God
O, let the righteous be glad
Let them rejoice before God, yea
Let them exceedingly rejoice
Sing unto God, sing praises to his Name
Extol him that rideth upon the heavens
By his Name Jah Rastafari Haile Selassie the First
Our Father, strength and redeemer
Who lives and rules and reigns over all things
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows
Is God in his holy habitation

God setteth the solitary in families
He bringeth out those which are bound with chains
For the rebellious dwell in Jah land
O, God Jah Rastafari Haile Selassie
Our Father, strength and redeemer
When thou wentest forth before thy people
When thou did march through the wilderness, Selah
The earth shook, the heavens also dropped
At the presence of God
Even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God
Jah Rastafari Haile Selassie the First
The God of Israel
Thou, O God Jah Rastafari Haile Selassie
Our Father strength and redeemer
Didst send a plentiful rain
Whereby thou didst confirm thy inheritance
When it was weary
Thy congregation hath dwelt therein
Thou, O God Jah Rastafari Haile Selassie
Our Father strength and redeemer
Hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor

The Lord God Jah the Almighty
Our Father strength and redeemer
Gave the word; great was the company
Of those that published it
Kings of armies did flee apace
And she that tarried at home divided the spoil
Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be
As the wings of a dove covered with silver
And her feathers with yellow gold
When the Almighty God Jah Rastafari
Our Father strength and redeemer
Scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon
The hill of God Jah Rastafari Haile Selassie
Our Father stremgth and redeemer, is as the hill of Bashan
Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill
Which God Jah Rastafari Haile Selassie the First
Desireth to dwell in. Yea, the LORD God Jah the Almighty
Our Father strength and redeemer will dwell in it for Iver

The chariots of God are twenty thousand
Even thousands of angels
The Lord God Jah the Almighty Haile Selassie
Our Father strength and redeemer
Is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place
Thou hast ascended on high
Thou hast led captivity captive
Thou hast received gifts for men
Yea, for the rebellious also
That the LORD God Jah the Almighty Haile Selassie
Our Father strength and redeemer might dwell among them
Blessed be the Almighty God Jah Rastafari Haile Selassie
Our Father strength and redeemer
Who daily loadeth us with benefits
Even the God of our salvation. Selah
He that is our God is the God of salvation
And unto GOD Jah Rastafari Haile Selassie
Our Father strength and redeemer the Lord
Belong the issues from death
But God Jah Rastafari Haile Selassie
Our Father strength and redeemer shall wound the head
Of his enemies and the hairy scalp of such an one
As goeth on still in his trespasses
