Try Jah Love
Thirdworld Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A lonely soul was I without direction
I didn't know which way that I had to go
I sought the clues to life's unanswered
Questions
My mind's heart had to know

I heard you call while wandering through
The darkness
I'd walk a million miles to find that endless
Voice
That speaks to me when I am in temptation
Echoing my choice





Then you said,

Overall Meaning

"Seek ye the kingdom of Jah
And all things shall be added unto you
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and
I will surely bless you, bless you"


The lyrics of Thirdworld's song Try Jah Love convey the journey of a lost and wayward soul who, in search of direction, finds solace in the call of Jah. The opening lines of the song speak to the feeling of being lost and directionless, unsure of which path to take in life. The singer reminisces about the questions he had about life, and how he sought to find answers to them. However, in his quest to find direction, he discovers the voice of Jah which calls to him in the darkness. This is a metaphor for finding inner peace and guidance in difficult times.


As the song progresses, Jah's message to the lost soul is clear, “Seek ye the kingdom of Jah, and all things shall be added unto you, give thanks and praises to the Lord and I will surely bless you, bless you”. The message is one of hope and encouragement to turn away from temptation and to embrace the kingdom of Jah. Through this, the soul can find happiness, direction and purpose.

Lonely soul was I without direction
I didn't know which way that I had to go
I sought the clues to life's unanswered questions
My mind's heart had to know, yes
I heard you call while wandering through the darkness
I'd walk a million miles to find that endless voice
That speaks to me when I am in temptation
Echoing my choice
Then you said, seek ye shall find
I've been with you through all time
And if you're thirsty I will quench you (with my love)
And if you're hungry I will feed you (with my words)
And all I ask of you is that you love as I do
And if you lose your way I'll lead you (To my love)
From a sinful life I'll cleanse you (In my love)
For creation bears a witness of my love
You know that
You know that it's time for the world to (Try Jah love)
Without it there'd be no tomorrow (Try Jah love)
So you try, try Jah love (love)
A timeless thought a touch of close encounter
Your love embraced me and took over my life
And now I'm new your strength has made me change
My ways from wrong to right
Please Father please, this world we live has faltered
Deliver us from all the evil and the pain
God Bless the heart that loves unto his brother
Praising out, out your name
Then he said, "Be not afraid
Those who believe I will save"
But if you're thirsty I will quench you (with my love)
And if you're hungry I will feed you (with my words)
For creation bears a witness of my love, love
And if you lose your way I'll lead you (To my love)
From a sinful life I'll cleanse you (In my love)
For creation bears a witness of my love
You know that
You know that it's time for the world to (Try Jah love)
Yes, without it there'd be no tomorrow (Try Jah love)
So you try, try Jah love (love)
You know that
There's no excuse for no one not to (Try Jah love)
You'll be grateful you let inside you (Jah, Jah love)
So you try, try Jah love (love)
You know that (Try Jah love)
Without it there'd be no tomorrow (Jah, Jah love)
So you try, try Jah love
