Christafari - Original Love Lyrics
Lyrics
This ya one is the original
Before creation of Adam and Eve
There has been a mystical conspiracy of love
From the Father up above
Satan'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 heart
For God is love and love is of God, ey
Some people know not what they've got
'Cause if you know not love
Then you know not God
And if you know not God
Then you know not love
Original love straight from creation
Original love De'pon your radio station
Original love Right from the start
Original love, From the bottom of my heart
Hey, me telling you Got original
Hey, I want you to know
Never let it go
Hey, me telling you
About original love
Some boys call it love but lust is what they mean
Gratifying their flesh, satisfying their greeds
Emptiness is the seed that produce rootless trees
Them got the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes
No matter how them do them never satisfied
For your life is empty without the Almighty, eh
Well it's a matter of the heart, yeah oh
For God is love and love is of God, ooh yeah
Some people know not what they've got
'Cause if you know not love
Then you know not God
And if you know not God
Then you know not love
Original love straight from creation
Original love De'pon your radio station
Original love Right from the start
Original love, From the bottom of my heart
Original love straight from creation
Original love De'pon your radio station
Original love Right from the start
Original love, From the bottom of my heart
O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, oh yeah
O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, O Lord, oh yeah

Well love it is my weapon so don't step 'pon
We praise the Father from Heaven

Yes love it is my weapon so don't step 'pon
We praise the One that's from Heaven
You feel His presence all around
Well it was death by love when love was crucified
So cast away the fear and doubt and put hate aside
A conspiracy of love, yes the craziest of kind
Because Jah loves you from before the dawn of time
Yes love it is my weapon so don't step 'pon
We praise the Father from Heaven
With the power of sound
Yes love it is my weapon so don't step 'pon
We praise the One that's from Heaven
You feel His presence all around

Christafari - Original Love (Official Lyric Video) Feat. Dillavou
Meaning & Inspiration
Christafari's track "Original Love," released on April 13, 2018, as part of their album of the same name, is a powerful testament to the foundational nature of divine love. The song immediately establishes its core message by positing this love as existing before the dawn of creation, referencing a "mystical conspiracy of love" originating from the Father. This concept echoes the eternal nature of God, as described in Ephesians 1:4, where it says, "even before he made the world, God loved us and chose our representatives in Christ to be holy and faultless in his eyes." The lyrics skillfully contrast this pure, original love with the deceptions and fleshly desires that often masquerade as love in the world. Satan is depicted as an adversary actively seeking to deceive individuals away from this profound truth, a struggle vividly portrayed throughout Scripture, such as in 1 John 2:16, which speaks of "the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life."
The song’s central thesis is articulated with striking clarity: "For God is love and love is of God." This profound statement, repeated with emphasis, directly aligns with the biblical declaration in 1 John 4:8: "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." Christafari drives this point home by asserting that true understanding of God is inseparable from experiencing and knowing this original love, and vice versa. The "Original Love" is not merely an emotion but the very essence of God's being, the source from which all goodness flows. The repeated refrain, "Original love straight from creation," serves as a constant reminder of its divine origin and enduring presence, accessible through the music itself as it's brought to "your radio station."
Further delving into the contrast between divine and worldly affection, the lyrics differentiate between true love and the fleeting gratification of lust. The emptiness experienced by those consumed by carnal desires is presented as a direct consequence of turning away from the Almighty, a sentiment underscored by verses like Galatians 5:16, which encourages believers to "live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." The song also touches upon the redemptive power of this love, referencing its crucifixion – "death by love when love was crucified" – a clear allusion to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. This act, far from being a defeat, is presented as the ultimate demonstration of God's love, urging listeners to cast aside fear and hate. As 1 John 4:18 states, "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment." The track concludes by reinforcing that this original love, from the heart of God, is the ultimate "higher meditation," a presence that fills believers and flows through them, offering a message of hope and enduring divine affection.
