Here in the USA, we’re entering the thankful season. Everyday should be as such not only for Americans but folks world wide. Anyway thanks and praise is my inspiration for today’s Battle of the Bands. My Internet search lead me to one song and then another both by the same artist. I thought why not use them to let you decide which song you like the best. That sounds good to me.
In this battle, my twice featured artist is the late reggae singer, Bob Marley. I’m asking you to pick your favorite Marley song.
“Give Thanks And Praises”
Give thanks and praises so high (so high)
He will not deceive us my brethren
He will only lead us again (again):
Oh, take that veil from off of your eyes
Look into the future of realize
Noah had three sons, Ham, Shem and Japheth (Ham, Shem and Japheth)
And in Ham is known to be the Prophet
Glory to Jah, the Prophet is come (through all these ages)
Glory to Jah, the Prophet has come (through all these stages)
When my soul was hurtin’ deep within
And I’m worrying to be free, desperately, yeah
So guide and protect I’n’I, O Jah – Jah
Through all these ages
Guide and protect I’n’I, O Jah – Jah
Through all these stages
Rastafari is his Name (Jah!) –
Rastafari is his Name (Jah!)
If Jah didn’t love I (love I)
If I didn’t love I (love I)
If Jah didn’t love I (love I)
If I didn’t love I
Would I be around today?
Would I be around to say:
Give thanks and praises, give thanks and praises
Give thanks and praises, give thanks and praises
Give thanks and praises, give thanks and praises
