Lyrics

A lone ly soul was I with out di rec tion; I did n’t know which way that I had to go.

I sought the clues to life’s un an swered ques tions (G#sus)my mind’s heart had to (G#)know.

I heard you call while wan d’ring through the dark ness.

I’d walk a mil lion miles to find that end less voice

that speaks to me when I am in temp ta tion.

(G#sus)Ech o ing my (G#)choice.

(A)Then you said, “Seek ye shall (G#sus)find.

(A)I’ve been with you through all (G#sus)time.”

If you’re (C#m)thirst y I will quench you (F#m7)with my love.

And if you (C#m)hun ger I will feed you (F#m7)with my word.

And all I (A#)ask of you is that you love

(F#m7)as I do.

And if you (C#m)lose your way I’ll lead you (F#m7)to my love.

From a (C#m)sin ful life I’ll cleanse you (F#m7)in my love.

For cre (A#)a tion bears a wit ness

(F#m7)of my love.

You should know it’s time for the world to (F#m7)try Jah love.

The on ly love that can bring peace is (F#m7)Jah, Jah love.

So won’t you (A#)try y y y (A)y (F#m7)try (G#m7)Jah (C#m)love.

(Amaj7)Love.

(Amaj7)Love.

With out it there’d be no to mor row.

(F#m7)Try Jah love.

Who lifts bro ken hearts up from sor row?

(F#m7)Jah, Jah love.

So won’t you (A#)try y y y (A)y (F#m7)try (G#m7)Jah (C#m)love.

You should know it’s time for the world to (F#m7)try Jah love.

The on ly love that can bring peace is (F#m7)Jah, Jah love.

So won’t you (A#)try y y y (A)y (F#m7)try (G#m7)Jah (C#m)love.

But right is the on ly rea son to (F#m7)try Jah love.

The key to in ner sat is fac tion is (F#m7)Jah, Jah love.

So won’t you (A#)try y y y (A)y (F#m7)try (G#m7)Jah (C#m)love.

(F#m7)Try Jah love.

(F#m7)Jah, Jah love.

So won’t you (A#)try y y y (A)y (F#m7)try (G#m7)Jah (C#m)love.
