Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sweep over my soul
Sweep over my soul
Though the roving life get rough
Jah Jah sweep over my soul
Bingi vibes sweep over my soul
Sweep over my soul
Though the builder’s roll tempers blow
(Sweep over my soul)
Jah Jah sweep over my soul

Every day every moment
I will sing a song of praise to HIM
Hail the king of kings (Hail the king of kings)
Every day I will rise, every morning I will sing
Every evening I will lift my voice
With my voice and praise higher higher

Oh lord Sweep over my soul
Sweep over my soul
Though the builder’s roll tempers blow
(Sweep over my soul)
I hear a voice callin from somewhere out there
A voice is singin from somewhere in my head
And I know that I must rise
And sing my heart and pray
And sing for Jah Jah all my days

I say sweep over my soul ooh
Sweep over my soul
Though the roamin gets tough
And the goin get rough
Gethsemane Gethsemane Gethsemane
Oh ohh I shall live I ver and see The holy One
(Gethsemane)

Until the end of creation (Gethsemane)
And I shall sing songs of redemption (Gethsemane)
Song of praise and influence (Gethsemane)
I claim (Gethsemane) in my position (Gethsemane)
In creation in (Gethsemane) the son of the Almighty Jah
Behold in His glory manifest (Gethsemane)
In me forever and Iver





Oh lord Sweep over my soul
Sweep over my soul.........

June 2019 one month after my mother's murder, I flew down to JA to pause and heal. I woke from a nap one afternoon to hear the bar down the lane playing this song, and I swear my soul took flight. Now as I come to terms w my father having cancer, my aunt, and myself going thru chemo for stage 3 breast cancer, I can say w my soul this song and Luciano are anointed. God bless and stay strong thru whatever you are going thru 🙏

Greetings from the African land of Zimbabwe thanks for the music of life

@user-bx5mk9lq7n

As a young refugee in the early 90tis in Ghana from Sierra Leone, the first time I hear this tune from Joy Fm played by the great Gabi Ajatay, I had goose bumps feeling so blessed on the day. And I thank Jah for being at the messager's concert on so many occasions in the UK never missed one. Jah bless Luciano the greatest messager of Jah in our time.

@deeg9537

Bless up Luciano. This song played on the entry of my stepfather's coffin in church. I sang, bubbled in praise. Was comforting on a stressful day. Unexpected and unbelievable death. But God is in control.

@danielobeng9677

It's 2022 n I still drop by to let Jah sweep over my soul. Who is still enjoying here like I 🔥🔥
