Lyrics
JAH IS THE WORD
Words and music by Andru Branch & Halfway Tree © 2008
Jah is the word
The word I use to express my sentiments about the Most High
Jah is the word, you know that Jah is the word
Jah is the word
The word I use to express my sentiments about the Most High
Jah is the word, you know that Jah is the word
The body is the camel
Upon which the spirit
Traverses the desert of life
It’s not about religion,
Nor customs or traditions
It’s about freedom, self regognition
He lives and dwells in you whether you like it or not
Jah is the word
The word I use to express my sentiments about the Most High
Jah is the word, you know that Jah is the word
The body is the temple
Upon which the spirit
Resides in the Kingdom of Love
He is the Most High
He is the Life Force
He is the Almighty
He’s the natural mystic that’s flowin’ through the air
Jah is the word
The word I use to express my sentiments about the Most High
Jah is the word, you know that Jah is the word
Jah is the word
The word I use to express my sentiments about the Most High
Jah is the word, you know that Jah is the word
