REGGAE FOR CHRIST

Lyrics

GOOD PEOPLE STAND UP
(Words and Music by Tennyson Walters)
Good People Stand up, stand up, stand up yeah
Good People, stand up, stand up
Raising its ugly head
Are acts of hatred
All over the world
Vile is being hurled
There’s an absence of grace
A propensity to agitate
So, good people stand up
Defeat the unjust
 
Good people stand up stand up
Good people stand up, stand up
Reject the prejudice
Show that you resist
Good people stand up stand up
Good people stand up stand up (Rise, Rise, Rise, Rise)
For peace and justice
 
Show that you commit 
Show that you don’t condone
The evil that’s being honed
Exemplify humanity
Advocate morality
Embrace God’s truth and will
His commandment you must fulfill
Love your neighbour as yourself
Shine His light, let hatred melt
 
Good people stand up stand up
Good people stand up, stand up
Reject the prejudice
Show that you resist
Good people stand up stand up
Good people stand up stand up (Rise, Rise, Rise, Rise)
For peace and justice 
show that you commit
Oh Lord Yeah Oh Lord Yeah Oh Lord Oh Lord
 
Good people Good people
Good people must unite
To fight the good fight
For love is the highest state
To which we must elevate
Good people stand up stand up
Good people stand up, stand up
Reject the prejudice
Show that you resist
 
Good people stand up, stand up
Good people stand up, stand up (Rise Rise Rise Rise)
For peace and justice
Show that you commit
(CHORUS OUT)
