SLICE OF MOUNT ZION
A slice of Mt. Zion is for I
A slice of Mt. Zion is for I

I pray to Jah honestly
To please let me live honestly
Love my brother that's all I need
I need no riches just harmony

I'm willing Jah to lay down
At Zion doorway like a foot mat
Even the saints of Zion
Trod upon my back and enter in

I pray every day to see
The falling of the wicked man
I know that wickedness will prevail
But only for a little while

Cannot go to Zion with your force
Have manners and enter in Jah House
You cannot live here with your big gun
All you got to do is help me pray
Let's kneel on our knees and clasp our hands
And say Father please help me

Children having children
Poverty upon the door
I've seen white squall
Walking on the street
With man under arrest (yeah)

Satan is around us like a roaring lion
Seeking Jah children to devour all the days of our lives
Like a hungry eagle
Flying through the sky
Seeking form and soul to devour
But don't let him catch us

Give me strength oh Jah I pray
With thy manna up from Mt. Zion
And no one can give satisfaction
But thee alone
Sit up on thy throne and
Pardon our transgression
Stretch forth pity to thy children
In the morning sun

A slice of Mt. Zion is for
A slice of Mt. Zion belong to
A slice of Mt. Zion is for
