The higher one say him soon forward.
The higher one say him soon trod.
The higher one say him soon forward.
With the power and the glory.
With the power and the glory.

The higher one say to I call.
The higher one say to remind thee.
The higher one say him soon forward.
With the power and the glory.
With the power and the glory.

So bright soul (bright soul) wha' make you turn back?
Bright soul (bright soul) wha' make you turn back?
Bright soul (bright soul) wha' make you turn back?
A when you reach a river Jordan you turn back.
A when you reach a river Jordan you turn back.

Bright soul (bright soul) wha' make you do that?
Bright soul (bright soul) wha' make you do that?
Bright soul (bright soul) wha' make you turn back?
A when you reach a river Jordan you turn back.
A when you reach a river Jordan you turn back.

Remember, Jah Jah children them no bow to the dragon.
Them only bow to the conquering lion.
Them mi a children, them a rock, them a iron.
Go away, fallen angel.
Go away, fallen angel.

Jah Jah children them no yield to temptation.
Jah Jah children them no commit fornication.
Them mi a children, them a tear down Babylon.
Go away, fallen angel.
Go away, fallen angel.

Bright soul (bright soul).
Bright soul (bright soul).
Bright soul (bright soul).

The higher one say him soon forward.
The higher one say him soon trod.
The higher one say him soon forward.
With the power and the glory.
With the power and the glory.

The higher one say to remind thee.
The higher one say to I call.
The higher one say him soon forward.
With the power and the glory.
With the power and the glory.
