The lyrics of Iba Mahr's song "Great Is H.I.M." are a reflection on the greatness and power of Jah, or Rastafari. The opening lines, "Nah nah wooah, I descended from the mountain of Zion, so is the lion," suggest that the singer is descended from a powerful and ancient lineage, and that he embodies the spirit and strength of a lion. He goes on to proclaim that Jah is the king of all kings, giver of life to all people, regardless of their race or ethnicity.
In the first verse, Iba Mahr references the prophesies of Marcus Garvey and the boldness of Ethiopia, a country often associated with Rastafarianism. He suggests that the time has come to recognize the power of Jah and to live in the present, without worrying about the future or waiting for judgment. In the second verse, he gives thanks for the blessings in his life, even in difficult times, and acknowledges that the strength and protection of Jah is all that he needs.

LET JAH LEAD THE WAY Lyrics — Ibar Mahr
Longtime I a talk is like dem never listen
I tell dem stop ship in the shine and
Well everyday another youth get missing
By the gun, I see deh now

His majesty a him a head creator
Iyah flames pon Rome duty paper
I see deh now you wan fi kill your owner brother fi de dollars so
I say, Let Jah lead the way, cause everyday
I pray, nuh leaders nuh lost dem way cause nuff a dem gone
I say Let Jah Lead the way, cause everyday
I Pray Nuh youth Nuh lost dem way

I come closer make me a deh history
Immancipate under slave mentality
But I n I no need no UK colony

While black people under strain and poverty
