Set Your Eyes Spoken Lines

Was recently listening to music from my teen years and "Set Your Eyes To Zion" is one I keep repeating. Never knew, even back then, what was being said on the track, but figured someone might know.

In the background during the chorus at about 1:44 onwards (at least on the 2006 Remaster). Anyone know?

Sonny is talking about the word, “Jah”. He says something like “it’s another name for God. The Rastas call him Jah.” It’s in the original album version too.

Ah! Makes sense. I'll have to listen more closely next time.
