Lyrics
Ah ha ha
Glory, hallelujah...
Hallowed be thy name...
Oh, Most High, God
Glory be to the Most High, God
Hallowed be thy name...
King of kings, and Lord of lords, worthy to be praised
I'll ascribe to you dominion, power, and grace
Through all the years and years to come, you'll always be the same
It's me again Jah, as I fall on my knees today
Help me God, I pray
Don't wanna be carried away...
It's me again Jah, as I fall on my knees today
Help me God, I pray
Preserve my soul today
Look around the world today, oh God, and you will see...
Pharisees and backbiters taken up in vanity
But I know you control my destiny, and from you all blessings flow
From yesterday, even today, and tomorrow
It's me again Jah, as I fall on my knees today
Help me God, I pray
Don't wanna be carried away...
It's me again Jah, as I fall on my knees today
Help me God, I pray
Preserve my soul today
Ah ha ha
Glory, hallelujah...
Bless my soul, oh Jah...
Oh, Most High, God
My heart is willing, my flesh is weak, but still, Oh Jah, I seek...
To walk Your way, Your holy way, I pray my soul You'll keep
Though my enemies encamp at me, I know I'll be still
Forevermore under Your banner, and for always in Your hand
It's me again Jah, as I fall on my knees today
Help me God, I pray
Don't wanna be carried away...
It's me again Jah, as I fall on my knees today
Help me God, I pray
Preserve my soul today
Say, glory be to the Most High, God
Hallowed be thy name...
The King of kings, and Lord of lords, worthy to be praised
I'll ascribe to you dominion, power, and grace
Through all the years and years to come, and for all the race
It's me again Jah, as I fall on my knees today
Help me God, I pray
Don't wanna be carried away...
It's me again Jah, as I fall on my knees today
Help me God, I pray
Preserve my soul today
It's me again Jah, as I fall on my knees today
Help me God, I pray
Don't wanna be carried away...

Meaning & Inspiration
“It’s Me Again Jah” is a prayer of dependence addressed to the Most High. Praise opens the song, but the recurring image is a worshipper falling to his knees and asking for help, protection, and preservation. The lyrics acknowledge both outward opposition and inward weakness, placing confidence not in personal resolve but in God’s rule over destiny and every blessing.
Several phrases draw directly on familiar biblical language. “Hallowed be thy name” echoes the Lord’s Prayer, while “my flesh is weak” recalls Christ’s warning about willing spirits and weak flesh. The description of enemies encamping nearby resembles the confidence expressed in Psalm 27. Together, these echoes reinforce the song’s movement between adoration and petition. Its reggae setting carries a distinctly Christian confession: God remains King of kings, worthy of praise, constant across time, and able to keep the soul from being carried away by vanity or fear.
