This song is encouraging people to call on God when we need help. The first name that God revealed to Moses is Yahweh, so "Yah" is short for Yahweh. The rest of the title is ebonics for "Yah will be there".
Genesis 22:14 - Abraham named the place Yahweh-Yireh (which means “the Lord will provide”). To this day, people still use that name as a proverb: “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.”
Exodus 6:2-3 - And God said to Moses, “I am Yahweh—‘the Lord.’ I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty’—but I did not reveal my name, Yahweh, to them."
Exodus 15:3 - The Lord is a warrior; Yahweh is his name!
Psalm 46:1 - God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
JESUS: "These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need." - Matthew 6:32-33
