Joseph Hill - A slice of mt. zion lyrics

A slice of Mount Zion is for I A slice of Mount Zion is for I I pray to Jah earnestly To please let me live honestly Love my brother that's all I need I need no riches just harmony A slice of Mount Zion is for I A slice of Mount Zion is for I 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, but A slice of Mount Zion is for I A slice of Mount Zion is for I I pray every day to see The falling of the wicked man I know that wickedness will prevail But only for a little while and A slice of Mount Zion is for I A slice of Mount Zion is for I 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 A slice of Mount Zion is for I A slice of Mount Zion is for I Children having children Poverty upon the door I've seen white squall Walking on the street With man under arrest (yeah) A slice of Mount Zion is for I A slice of Mount Zion is for I 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 A slice of Mount Zion is for I Hear me when I say A slice of Mount Zion is for I Hear me when I pray Give me strength oh Jah I pray With Thy manna up from Mount Zion And no one can give satisfaction But Thee alone Sit upon Thy throne And pardon our transgression And stretch forth pity to Thy children In the morning time A slice of Mount Zion is for I A slice of Mount Zion is for I A slice of Mount Zion is for I A slice of Mount Zion is for I A slice of Mount Zion is for I A slice of Mount Zion is for A slice of Mount Zion belong to A slice of Mount Zion is for I
