It Was Yah That Gave

Verse

There was a man

After Yah's own heart

They love his psalms

But not the parts

Where he walked in a way

That most men won't

Cause they've been told

That Yah said don't

But I wonder what they'd say

If they saw him face to face

Would they call his blessings shame

Or would they recall

The one who gave

The one who gave

The one who gave

The one who gave

Chorus

He anointed his head

Gave him a name

He set the crown

Gave him the reign

All of the wives

And arrows they bore

And He said son

Ida given you more

So don't call evil

What He made

And don't forget

When you speak his name

It was Yah that gave

And it's Yah who reigns

Verse

They sing of harp and sling in hand

But hate the way his family stands

They preach his words as set apart

While speaking falsely of his heart

But the God who saw his rise and fall

He blessed his house his name it all

So guard your lips before you blame

And remember

It was Yah that gave

And it's Yah who reigns

Chorus

He anointed his head

Gave him a name

He set the crown

Gave him the reign

All of the wives

And arrows they bore

And He said son

Ida given you more

So don't call evil

What He made

And don't forget

When you speak his name

It was Yah that gave

And it's Yah who reigns

Bridge

So tell me now

Before you blame

If He calls it good

Should you call it vain

And if He showed you truth

Would you still profane his name

Chorus

He anointed his head

Gave him a name

He set the crown

Gave him the reign

All of the wives

And arrows they bore

And He said son

Ida given you more

So don't call evil

What He made

And don't forget

When you speak his name

It was Yah that gave

And it's Yah who reigns

Don't forget

When you speak his name

The one who gave

It was Yah that gave

It was grace

It was no mistake

It was Yah that gave
