My wife and I used to listen to this song every night. In fact she introduced this song to me. She died on the 18 Jan 2023. I cry heavily when I listen to this song alone and other songs from Gregory Isaac. I love my wife so much and I am deeply hurt from her death. 'Who is going to quench this taste for me' when my night nurse is gone? I will forever love you my dearest Angela.

Thou I never lived like he wanted I’m still mindful of what he taught me !!! Father forgive me for I know I have sinned. Release me from all the demons and darkness. Only Jah alone can help me to stand my ground !!! The best song I have ever heard 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This beautiful and powerful song helped so many young people get through the terrible violence of 2008 in Kenya, and helped them find a way forward in life... jah bless, love from Mombasa ❤
Songs like these will never die. Don’t know what these new singers and DJs have in their heads for a brain. They sings nothing that makes sense. Just a few is trying.
That line wen he said son take it frm me son you can change the world today I'm a living prove, living prove that crime doesn't pay that line hit me so hard thank you Duane
Jah is the possibilities whether negative or positive. It is the road that we choose that is going to make the difference. Positiveness is aligned to what is good in humanity. One Love!
Reggae music brings me back to my savior it highlights my failures...this song is a reflection of my life.Thanks be to our friend Duane and our saviour Jah
I remember back in the days in hood, when life was hard. I always listened to this song in the dark room. I’m living a dream now .... life is an interesting journey!!! 🇺🇬 🇨🇦
Every time I listened to this song I can’t help but feeling overwhelmed with emotions, I’m just so great full for life. Give this man his rose, whilst he’s still Alive. Blessed love Mr Stephenson where ever you’re in this world. "Though I never live like he wanted I was mindful of what he taught me So now I beg and plea, I'm on my bending knee 'Cause father you rescue me And I've got the scars to show Daily made it along lives road 'Cause when my life got dark he was the only spark. The light at the end of the road”.🙏🏿🙏🏿

I wish all the young men in Gangs in my country would listen to the words of this song. God can help you to counter the darkness of evil. Don't allow death to strike you twice. Give yourself the chance of life.
Thank you Duane. This song was played yesterday on the funeral of a brother from Utrecht, the Netherlands, origin Bonaire. It was very moving. Thank you for the love shown in your song 👍❤️
Lyrics A word from the wise, don't try to make life on your own Remember that jah just by your side For I was a son who was lost, and my life was in dismay For a money the forces in which I came Guns and ammunition, were my chosen way of life(ooh ooh) With god fearing people I chose to strife For all of the lives that I've taken They can never be replaced But still jah jah chose to remember my face Though I never live like he wanted I'm still mindful of what he taught me So now I beg and plea, I'm on my bending knee God father you rescue me I've got the scars to show Daily made it along lives road 'Cause when my life got dark he was the only spark He was the light at the end of the road When I was a young boy, growing up in August town We eat from the same pot, we were idrens all around From colour to colour red corner From rockers to jungle till tired Praises to dreadites and river all around yeah And then the football ground became my battlefield And my life seams so unreal People were falling all around But jah help me to stand my ground Only jah, only jah Could've help me to stand my ground Though I never live like he wanted I was mindful of what he taught me So now I beg and plea, I'm on my bending knee 'Cause father you rescue me And I've got the scars to show Daily made it along lives road 'Cause when my life got dark he was the only spark The light at the end of the road Never live, to please him Never live like I should Oh oh ooh ooh ooh, father you rescue me oh yeah oh yeah I've live and I've learnt, I've made mistakes along the way Now I beg for forgiveness, each day as I tried to pray So take it from me son, you can change the world today And I'm living proof, living proof that crime doesn't pay For I never live like he wanted I was mindful of what he taught me So now I beg and plea, I'm on my bending knee 'Cause father he rescue me And I've got the scars to show Daily made it along lives road 'Cause when my life got dark he was the only spark The light at the end of the road I never live like he wanted I was mindful of what he taught me So now I beg and plea, I'm on my bending knee 'Cause father you rescue me And I've got the scars to show Daily made it along lives road 'Cause when my life got dark he was the only spark The light at the end of the road Though I never live like he wanted I was mindful of what he taught me I'm on my bending knee, I ask the father please Father, you rescue me And I've got the scars to show Daily made it along lives road As my life got dark he was the only spark The light at the end of the road I never lived Never lived I never lived The way you wanted me to I never lived Lord I tell you Now I'm practicing my religion
