    My wife and I used to listen to this song every night. In fact she introduced this song to me. She died on the 18 Jan 2023. I cry heavily when I listen to this song alone and other songs from Gregory Isaac. I love my wife so much and I am deeply hurt from her death. 'Who is going to quench this taste for me' when my night nurse is gone? I will forever love you my dearest Angela.

    Lyrics
    A word from the wise, don't try to make life on your own
    Remember that jah just by your side
    For I was a son who was lost, and my life was in dismay
    For a money the forces in which I came
    Guns and ammunition, were my chosen way of life(ooh ooh)
    With god fearing people I chose to strife
    For all of the lives that I've taken
    They can never be replaced
    But still jah jah chose to remember my face
    Though I never live like he wanted
    I'm still mindful of what he taught me
    So now I beg and plea, I'm on my bending knee
    God father you rescue me
    I've got the scars to show
    Daily made it along lives road
    'Cause when my life got dark he was the only spark
    He was the light at the end of the road
    When I was a young boy, growing up in August town
    We eat from the same pot, we were idrens all around
    From colour to colour red corner
    From rockers to jungle till tired
    Praises to dreadites and river all around yeah
    And then the football ground became my battlefield
    And my life seams so unreal
    People were falling all around
    But jah help me to stand my ground
    Only jah, only jah
    Could've help me to stand my ground
    Though I never live like he wanted
    I was mindful of what he taught me
    So now I beg and plea, I'm on my bending knee
    'Cause father you rescue me
    And I've got the scars to show
    Daily made it along lives road
    'Cause when my life got dark he was the only spark
    The light at the end of the road
    Never live, to please him
    Never live like I should
    Oh oh ooh ooh ooh, father you rescue me oh yeah oh yeah
    I've live and I've learnt, I've made mistakes along the way
    Now I beg for forgiveness, each day as I tried to pray
    So take it from me son, you can change the world today
    And I'm living proof, living proof that crime doesn't pay
    For I never live like he wanted
    I was mindful of what he taught me
    So now I beg and plea, I'm on my bending knee
    'Cause father he rescue me
    And I've got the scars to show
    Daily made it along lives road
    'Cause when my life got dark he was the only spark
    The light at the end of the road
    I never live like he wanted
    I was mindful of what he taught me
    So now I beg and plea, I'm on my bending knee
    'Cause father you rescue me
    And I've got the scars to show
    Daily made it along lives road
    'Cause when my life got dark he was the only spark
    The light at the end of the road
    Though I never live like he wanted
    I was mindful of what he taught me
    I'm on my bending knee, I ask the father please
    Father, you rescue me
    And I've got the scars to show
    Daily made it along lives road
    As my life got dark he was the only spark
    The light at the end of the road
    I never lived
    Never lived
    I never lived
    The way you wanted me to
    I never lived
    Lord I tell you
    Now I'm practicing my religion
