"Wanna take the time / (to) thank the Lord." Yes! Thank God & thank Jesus. A lot of people have more to be thankful for than they might realize.

@ianstewart5297
Yeh great one of my favourites love it.had it on a single back in the day.
@thesoultwins72
@Ian Stewart.........Yes, one of my favourites too! Always takes me back to my 'youth club days' and being a skinhead! Didn't manage to get the single [released on the Treasure Island label in the UK].
Bought it in 1971 on the first 'Club Reggae' LP [Trojan records]. Absolutely superb compilation album - included Fabulous Flames 'Holy Holy', The Maytals '54-46 Was My Number', Dave & Ansil Collins 'Double Barrel' and so many more Rocksteady classics!
