I and I give thanks unto the Omnipotent One
Continue to manifest his Spirit through I and I
Which is only flesh Behold!

Jah seed has been planted in I and I
He's our roots and the source of our lives
We are the branches, the leaves that have life
We are the apple of Jah eye, forever full of life

Jah taught us how to live and love all ways
And even how to worship in reverence
He's the Light and the Way to all things
Him we give all glory, Him we hail as King of kings

Unto Him we make our vows, and render all things
Only Him shall I and I give praise for all things
Mighty and glorious King, glorious King!

All rich and poor belongs unto Him
All Creation shall bow unto Him
And behold the purity of the glorious King
Unto Him we make our vows, and render all things

Only Him shall I and I give praise for all things
Mighty and glorious King, glorious King!
