Christafari Original Love Lyrics:

CHRISTAFARI 1. Original Love (Feat. Dillavou)Written By Mark Mohr, Justin Dillavou, Justin Nalimu and Avion Blackman

This ya one is the original!Before creation of Adam and Eve There has been a mystical conspiracy of love From the Father up aboveSatan’s on the loose he’s trying to deceive Anyone who would believe in this great mystery of love From Zion up above

Well it’s a matter of the heartFor God is love and love is of GodSome people know not what they’ve got

‘Cause if you know not loveThen you know not GodAnd if you know not GodThen you know not love!

Chorus 1:

Original loveStraight from creationOriginal love De’pon your radio stationOriginal loveRight from the startOriginal love From the bottom of my heart

Hey, me telling you(I’ve) got originalHey, I want you to knowNever let it goHey, me telling youAbout original love

Some boys call it love but lust is what they meanGratifying their flesh, satisfying their greedsEmptiness is the seed that produce(s) rootless trees

Them got the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyesNo matter how them do them never satisfiedFor your life is empty without the Almighty (Eh…)

(PRE-CHORUS)(CHORUS 1)

Well it was death by love when love was crucified So cast away the fear and doubt and put hate asideA conspiracy of love, yes the craziest of kindBecause Jah loves you from before the dawn of time

Yes love it is my weapon so don’t step ‘ponWe praise the Father from Heaven With the power of soundYes love it is my weapon so don’t step ‘ponWe praise the One that’s from Heaven You feel His presence all around

11. Wherever Your Treasure IsWritten By Mark Mohr, Justin Nalimu and Tiago Costa

Inspiration "The greatest use of your life is to invest it in that which will outlast it." Rick Warren

I remember what my Mama said“Not everything that glitters is gold”And what profits a man If he gains the whole world Yet still loses his soul?

Like sandcastles that are here todayBut gone tomorrow The only eternal currencyIs saving other’s souls

CHORUS 1:Wherever your treasure is There is your heart (2X)

I remember what the Master said: “Be generous and give to the poorAnd that what you've done unto the least of these,” I said “You've done unto the Lord”Yes the bank of the Lord it is safe and secure It’s the storehouse of the heavensAnd when you arrive and get a high-five

You’ll hear “Well done my faithful servant!”

CHORUS 2:Wherever your treasure is There is your heart (2X)So I will put my hope in the heavensAnd place my trust in the LordWherever your treasure is There's your heart

So set your minds on ChristNot on earthly thingsFor no earthly things shall bring joy Yes set your minds on ChristNot on earthly things (no earthly things)For no earthly things shall bring joy

You see as soon as the money comesIt seems the money goesBut these problems they’re still so realAnd it’s here today and gone tomorrow Like a dog chasing after his tail

But if you seek first His KingdomAnd His righteousnessThen all these things they will be added unto to youSo don't worry, no don't stress

(CHORUS 1)(GUITAR SOLO)

I can't wait to see what's in storeWhen we reach ZionIn Heaven it is safe and secureFrom theft and corrosion

So I won't focus on the here and now For someday we'll all dieAnd spend 10,000 years and forevermore In the by-and-by

(CHORUS 2)

13. What is the Difference? (Intro)Written By Mark Mohr

I remember it like it was yesterday... I was a drug addicted youth, a marijuana dealer, a runaway, a rebel. It was the darkest time in my life.

But I loved reggae and loved to sing songs about Jehovah (Jah). I was open to the Bible to an extent, but I just didn’t vibe with church and I definitely didn’t like Christians.

They seemed so fake with their “happy-happy-joy-joy” songs and their plastic smiles. To be hon-est, I just didn’t get it. Because I knew what was best for me – or at least I thought I did.

Until I met this cool guy named Marcus. He was so much like me and we connected as we shared stories about his drug past and my drug present.

But the more that I got to know him, the more I realized that though we had so much in common in the past, our lives where headed in two entirely different directions. You see mine was a dead-end street, but his had a future and a hope...

I just couldn't put my finger on it. So one day I asked him: “What’s the difference between you and I?”

I'll never forget his response...

he said four simple words that would forever change the trajectory of my life. 

“The love of God" he replied.

He had found what I had been missing! He had received God's love, His grace, His forgiveness, and he was forever transformed by it.

It’s hard to explain but that simple answer regarding the hope that he had within literally sparked a revolution within me. 

And just two weeks after truly surrendering my life to Christ, I started Christafari. And I’d never be the same again, forever changed by the Love of Jah.

14. The Love of JahWritten By Mark Mohr and Justin Nalimu

What is the difference between me and you?What is the difference between me and you?

CHORUS:The love, the love, the loveThe love of Jah (Jah)The love, the love, the loveThe love of Jah (Jah)

I do not deserve Your loveAnd I could never earn Your grace You sent Your Son from Zion aboveYour only Son to take my place

And I cannot imagine the pain

He suffered again and againThe torture, the scorn and the shame So He could take all of my blame

(CHORUS 2X)

And on that dreadful dayWhen He gave His last breathMy ransom was paidWhen He surrendered to death

But on the third day He rose again With the power to save All who would believe in Him

(CHORUS 2X)

Now I'll go anywhere You want me to goDo anything you want me to do Lord You really got to know That I just want to follow You

Anywhere You wanna goAnd anything You want me to do Jah You really got to know Just how much I love I truly love You

Yes I love, I love, I love, I love You Jah (3X)I love, I love, I really, really love You Jah

What is the difference between me and you?What is the difference between me and you?
