40 Live lyrics - DC Talk
(originally by U2)
I waited patiently for the Lord
He inclined and heard my cry
He brought me up out of my pit
Out of the miry clay
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
How long to sing this sing?
How long to sing this song?
How long...how long...how long
How long...to sing this song
He placed my feet upon is rock
And made my footsteps so firm
Many could see
Many could see and fear
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
How long to sing this sing?
How long to sing this song?
How long...how long...how long
How long...to sing this song
I waited patiently for the Lord
He inclined and heard my cry
He brought me up out of my pit
Out of the miry clay
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
How long to sing this sing?
How long to sing this song?
How long...how long...how long
How long...to sing this song
He placed my feet upon is rock
And made my footsteps so firm
Many could see
Many could see and fear
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
How long to sing this sing?
How long to sing this song?
How long...how long...how long
How long...to sing this song
Alibi lyrics - DC Talk
I'm trying hard to understand you
And your over-rated state of mind
Sometimes you try to move me to you
And make believe that it's all fine
[CHORUS]
You say you love me, yes you do
But I know who I'm talking to
You left me so lonely and empty
And I don't need your alibis
Cause I can see through all your lies
You say you love me and I'll need you
But I don't need to live my life that way, no way
Every storm deserves an ending
And a break to peaceful skies
And every night I pray for my own mending
[CHORUS]
Parading around like you're a superstar
Is that who you think you are
The higher you go, yeah, the harder you fall
You say you love me, yes you do
But I know who I'm talking to
You left me so lonely and empty
And I don't need your alibis
Cause I can see through your disguise
You say you love me and I'll need you
But I don't need to live my life that way, no way
And your over-rated state of mind
Sometimes you try to move me to you
And make believe that it's all fine
[CHORUS]
You say you love me, yes you do
But I know who I'm talking to
You left me so lonely and empty
And I don't need your alibis
Cause I can see through all your lies
You say you love me and I'll need you
But I don't need to live my life that way, no way
Every storm deserves an ending
And a break to peaceful skies
And every night I pray for my own mending
[CHORUS]
Parading around like you're a superstar
Is that who you think you are
The higher you go, yeah, the harder you fall
You say you love me, yes you do
But I know who I'm talking to
You left me so lonely and empty
And I don't need your alibis
Cause I can see through your disguise
You say you love me and I'll need you
But I don't need to live my life that way, no way
All You Got lyrics - DC Talk
I heard you say that no one seems to care about you
It's in your eyes, you think that life's unfair to you
Just give it all you got, my friend
Just give it all you got, it's not the end
[CHORUS]
Cause you oughta know
There's a reason for these changin' seasons
God only knows how much your heart can bear
So don't you let go
Everybody has their up and down times
Everybody needs to know how much they're loved
My friend
So hold on, it's not the end
As I remember everything you touch
Would turn to gold
You held the secrets
To make your grandest dreams unfold
You were the very best of us all
But the sun that rises still falls
[CHORUS]
It's just a love song
Cause everybody needs a friend
I'll be right here for you
Just a simple prayer
It's from the bottom of my heart
That He'll never let you go
[CHORUS]
It's in your eyes, you think that life's unfair to you
Just give it all you got, my friend
Just give it all you got, it's not the end
[CHORUS]
Cause you oughta know
There's a reason for these changin' seasons
God only knows how much your heart can bear
So don't you let go
Everybody has their up and down times
Everybody needs to know how much they're loved
My friend
So hold on, it's not the end
As I remember everything you touch
Would turn to gold
You held the secrets
To make your grandest dreams unfold
You were the very best of us all
But the sun that rises still falls
[CHORUS]
It's just a love song
Cause everybody needs a friend
I'll be right here for you
Just a simple prayer
It's from the bottom of my heart
That He'll never let you go
[CHORUS]
Return Of The Singer lyrics - DC Talk
I'm coming out like a .45
Spinning like a Wurlitzer on overdrive
Feeling like electro glide
Touch down satellite, feel all right
Tonight, return of love
Return, return of the singer
Twist me up and watch me burn
Just like a falling star about to burst
Center down and outward thrust
The curtain's up baby it's all or bust
Tonight, return all the love you get
Return, return of the singer
It's tailor made and it's heaven sent
Just think about the time we've spent
The way we moved the words we spent
If nothing else a testament
Oh my love, oh my baby
No one else can make me crazy like you, like you
Cause we're all about to move on
No one here without a song
Pilfering the planet's blood
Been making up the moment from after the flood
Tonight, return of love
Return, return of the singer
I'll tell you how it's gonna be
We're gonna make some history
A microphone, the truth we need
No joke, no trend, no fad of the week
Hordes of angels, sing as one
You know my heart has come undone again, again
Return, return of love
Return, return of the singer
Return of all the love you get
Return, return of the singer
Spinning like a Wurlitzer on overdrive
Feeling like electro glide
Touch down satellite, feel all right
Tonight, return of love
Return, return of the singer
Twist me up and watch me burn
Just like a falling star about to burst
Center down and outward thrust
The curtain's up baby it's all or bust
Tonight, return all the love you get
Return, return of the singer
It's tailor made and it's heaven sent
Just think about the time we've spent
The way we moved the words we spent
If nothing else a testament
Oh my love, oh my baby
No one else can make me crazy like you, like you
Cause we're all about to move on
No one here without a song
Pilfering the planet's blood
Been making up the moment from after the flood
Tonight, return of love
Return, return of the singer
I'll tell you how it's gonna be
We're gonna make some history
A microphone, the truth we need
No joke, no trend, no fad of the week
Hordes of angels, sing as one
You know my heart has come undone again, again
Return, return of love
Return, return of the singer
Return of all the love you get
Return, return of the singer
Be lyrics - DC Talk
All in all we're fading
Like a soul lost in the wilderness
We're cold and we're cut off from it
Not knowing where it's gonna end
There's a star in Bethlehem, it's calling you
It's a memory of One who made it
Be, be yourself
There's no one who does it quite like you
Be, no one else
Cause if you don't then who is going to
You're a tribute to the best of us
We follow everybody else
Not knowing what we're made for
The mecca of the insecure
The sign and mark of the popular
There's a new face on the television
It's a new host with the same derision
Be, be yourself
Don't let the losers tell you what to do
Be, no one else Cause if you don't then who is going to
And the time is now
No reason to look back
Just like an infant born
You've got to catch your breath
And I'm learning Father
Yes, and I'm going farther
Be, be yourself
There's no one who does it quite like you
Be, no one else
Cause if you don't then who is going to?
Light the path you're supposed to see
Just like the salt that filters through the need
Like the star that's falling from the sky
Just like the apple of your Daddy's eye
Like a soul lost in the wilderness
We're cold and we're cut off from it
Not knowing where it's gonna end
There's a star in Bethlehem, it's calling you
It's a memory of One who made it
Be, be yourself
There's no one who does it quite like you
Be, no one else
Cause if you don't then who is going to
You're a tribute to the best of us
We follow everybody else
Not knowing what we're made for
The mecca of the insecure
The sign and mark of the popular
There's a new face on the television
It's a new host with the same derision
Be, be yourself
Don't let the losers tell you what to do
Be, no one else Cause if you don't then who is going to
And the time is now
No reason to look back
Just like an infant born
You've got to catch your breath
And I'm learning Father
Yes, and I'm going farther
Be, be yourself
There's no one who does it quite like you
Be, no one else
Cause if you don't then who is going to?
Light the path you're supposed to see
Just like the salt that filters through the need
Like the star that's falling from the sky
Just like the apple of your Daddy's eye
Somebody's Watching lyrics - DC Talk
Watch baby, watch baby
I got it like that
Watch baby, watch baby
So I got it like that
Suggestions, questions
People want to know
Is there life after talk
'Cause there's talk on the road
Twistin' words that I've never even said
To the ones that I trust on my
Or my "Boo" in our bed
Will he make it? Man I bet he won't
As they're runnin' through the minutes on their cell phones
So the pictures painted, you got the point
And that junk's creepin' into my solo joint
Sometimes I feel God
In the middle of the night
In the cool of the shade
In the bright sunlight
I always feel like somebody's watching me
(Watch baby, watch baby, he got my back)
See I'm down with the King
So I got it like that
I always feel like somebody's watching me
(Watch baby, watch baby, he got my back)
See I'm down with the King
So I got it like that
It's no joke, I've been roped in, chokin' on a bone
From a fish in the school of your twilight zone
You shook me, took me to me to another place
Where the air I'm breathin's like mace in my face
If this controversy is your way
You need to know I'll never doubt my destiny
'Cause I'm stickin' to my guns like a a Son of the Light
Feelin' Dad, I'm feelin' Daddy in the air tonight
Sometimes I feel grace in the middle of the night
In the cool of the shade in the bright sunlight
Sometimes I feel God in the midst of a show
As the palm trees sway in an afterglow
I always feel like somebody's watching me
(Watch baby, watch baby, he got my back)
See I'm down with the King
So I got it like that
I got it like that
Watch baby, watch baby
So I got it like that
Suggestions, questions
People want to know
Is there life after talk
'Cause there's talk on the road
Twistin' words that I've never even said
To the ones that I trust on my
Or my "Boo" in our bed
Will he make it? Man I bet he won't
As they're runnin' through the minutes on their cell phones
So the pictures painted, you got the point
And that junk's creepin' into my solo joint
Sometimes I feel God
In the middle of the night
In the cool of the shade
In the bright sunlight
I always feel like somebody's watching me
(Watch baby, watch baby, he got my back)
See I'm down with the King
So I got it like that
I always feel like somebody's watching me
(Watch baby, watch baby, he got my back)
See I'm down with the King
So I got it like that
It's no joke, I've been roped in, chokin' on a bone

Extreme Days lyrics - DC Talk
(tru-dog) Extreme days!
(toby) Say Extreme days..
(tru-dog) Extreme Days!
(toby) Say we're livin'
We're livin', We're livin', We're livin' in extreme day, days...
Comin' at ya like a whirlwind
A hundred miles an hour's where we'll begin
I spy the eye of apprehension
Show me risk and you'll get my attention
Come on, can ya take it
Bang to the bip, I make you wanna flip
Take my trip and you can bust your lip
I never fear 'cause I live fearless
Don't even think for a second you can get with this
Come on, I never fake it, come on
These are extreme, extreme days
We're livin' in extreme days
These are extreme, extreme days
We're livin' in extreme days
I'm a freak from the 'burbs of the chocolate city
Luther Jackson was my middle
Pine Ridge my elementary
School of hip hop 1979
And Sugar Hill had the skills that taught me to rhyme
Got hip to Kiss and I tripped on Zeppelin
So Mr. Therapist-why did I go this direction
God had a plan to end all my schemes
I had a dream He said to be ... extreme
Come on, can ya take it
These are extreme, extreme days
We're livin' in extreme days
These are extreme, extreme days
We're livin' in extreme days
Just the other day I saw a kid
Who flipped his hat to the back and he called it a lid
You know what else he did?
He stacked books from the floor to the ceiling
Said somethin bout trying to get to heaven
And he was only eleven
but he climbed to the top with outstretched arms
And he screamed at the top of his lungs
Move out my way
Give up the mic
X to me is extremely Christ
Livin up in me
Like it or not
Put an X on my chest
Cause X marks the spot
We're livin', we're livin'
These are extreme, extreme days [3X]
We're livin' in extreme days...
(tru-dog) Extreme days!
(toby) Say Extreme days..
(tru-dog) Extreme Days!
(toby) Say we're livin'
We're livin', We're livin', We're livin' in extreme day, days...

Show me risk and you'll get my attention

It's Killing Me lyrics - DC Talk
Hello, goodbye
I wanted to see, but I guess I
I don't have the strength to speak tonight
It's tricky sometimes
When you wanted to run, you'd always hide
You can't find the truth behind the lies
Another day and I'm on my feet, yeah
But the street feels like it's sleeping
I'm on a mission and it ain't too sweet
You're the reason I'm afraid
Said, you're the reason I'm afraid
[chorus]
But I want you to know
It's killing me
I think I gotta let go
Cause it's killing me
You're gonna do what you want
But you better believe
It's killing me
Love never dies
It's the reason that I won't compromise
But sometimes you fall before you fly
I've seen it coming for quite some time, man
I don't know what you're thinking
How can the two of us walk in stride
If we don't see eye to eye
You got me all messed up inside
[repeat chorus]
[bridge]
Is it too late in the game
There is no one left to blame
I will always mention you
To the one that I pray to
[repeat chorus]
Why can't you see that you're killing me
I wanted to see, but I guess I
I don't have the strength to speak tonight
It's tricky sometimes
When you wanted to run, you'd always hide
You can't find the truth behind the lies
Another day and I'm on my feet, yeah
But the street feels like it's sleeping
I'm on a mission and it ain't too sweet
You're the reason I'm afraid
Said, you're the reason I'm afraid
[chorus]
But I want you to know
It's killing me
I think I gotta let go
Cause it's killing me
You're gonna do what you want
But you better believe
It's killing me
Love never dies
It's the reason that I won't compromise
But sometimes you fall before you fly
I've seen it coming for quite some time, man
I don't know what you're thinking
How can the two of us walk in stride
If we don't see eye to eye
You got me all messed up inside
[repeat chorus]
[bridge]
Is it too late in the game
There is no one left to blame
I will always mention you
To the one that I pray to
[repeat chorus]
Why can't you see that you're killing me
Dive lyrics - DC Talk
(You wanna take a dive?)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Watch out)
(It's quite all right)
(Through the night)
I saw it all from my bubble on the 15th floor
I was so unaware as I sank into my leather chair
Upon my throne I was known as untouchable
The smoke was creeping in
My castle walls were wearing thin
It took a fire to inspire me to make my move
Cigarette in a garbage can
Changed the ways of this corporate man
It was time for a radical plan
I took a dive
I took a love plunge into Your arms
I took a dive
I took a love plunge into Your arms
I took a dive
I jumped in with all my heart
I took a dive
Follow me through the door to the great unknown
Something was telling me that this would shape my destiny
Take my hand, understand You are not alone
Shame on me if I oppose the stirring of the Holy Ghost
Heard a voice calling out to me (out to me)
I come to set your spirit free (spirit free)
And in Me you are free indeed
I took a dive
I took a love plunge into Your arms
I took a dive
I took a love plunge into Your arms
I took a dive
I jumped in with all my heart
I took a dive
(Ah ah ah ah, ah, ah, ah)
Won't you come and take a dive with me
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ahhh)
Won't you come and take a dive with me
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ahhh) Jump in with all your heart and take a dive
[bridge]
I'm breathing under water (I'm breathin' under)
I'm sinking like a submarine (a submarine)
Your ocean's so much deeper (I'm goin' deeper)
Than anything I've ever dreamed
I took a dive
I took a love plunge into Your arms
I took a dive
I took a love plunge into Your arms
I took a dive
I jumped in with all my heart
I took a dive
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
(Jump, jump)
Won't You come and take a dive with me
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
(Jump, jump)
Won't you come and take a dive with me
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
(Jump, jump)
Won't you come and take a dive with me

Consume Me lyrics - DC Talk
(Oh, shah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah)
(Nah nah, nah, nah nah, nah)
(Shah dah dop dop dop dee dah)
(Nah nah, nah, nah nah, nah)
Lovely traces
I can sense You in everything
The way that You move me
Takes me far away
I seek no escape
I'm dreaming through Your eyes
I am wandering through Your mind
I'm overtaken by the way that You deliver me
I'm transcended
There's no place I'd rather be
Than here in Heaven
Without You I'm incomplete
It's hopeless
You consume me, You consume me
Like a burning flame running through my veins
You consume me moving through me
Anytime, anyplace You invade my space
You consume me, You consume me
Wholly devoted
I immerse myself in You
Baptize me in Your love
Cause drowning in the thought of You
Floods my soul
I'm taken by the things You do
God, You know
It doesn't matter what I lose
I'm Yours
You consume me, You consume me
Like a burning flame running through my veins
You consume me moving through me
Anytime, anyplace You invade my space
You consume me, You consume me
I am in Your hands
Under Your command
Like a puppet on a string
(Lord you know)
I am willing to
Put my faith in You
So before the world I sing
(Consume me)
You consume me, You consume me
Burning flame, through my veins
You consume me moving through me
Anytime, anyplace You invade my space
You consume me (oh, you know that I surrender)
I am consumed, I'm consumed with You
There's no other way I can fly
It's You and I, You and I
There's no other way I can fly
It's You and I, You and I
(Nah nah, nah, nah nah, nah)
(Shah dah dop dop dop dee dah)
(Nah nah, nah, nah nah, nah)

My Friend (So Long) lyrics - DC Talk
I heard your record on the telephone
It was my cousin, Joan
She picked it up from the top 40 rack and then
I read your interview in Rolling Stone
You threw the boys a bone
And so I genuinely felt obliged to call
I know You never meant to hurt us, man
We're just a baby band
You found a quicker way
To scale the wall of fame
The situation's awfully dim
Should we up and go with him?
No way (no way, 1, 2, 3, 4)
[chorus]
We know exactly where you are, and you're gone (my friend)
Don't know exactly where you're coming from
You've gone away my friend
We know exactly where you are, and you're gone (my friend)
Don't know exactly where you're coming from
Have you gone astray (gone)
I saw your video on VH-1
Looks like they spent a ton
How does it feel to be the flavor for a spell
And I remember when you used to say
"Jesus is the way"
I never thought I'd see your light begin to fade
The situation's awfully dim
Should we up and go with him?
No way (no way, 1, 2, 3, 4)
[repeat chorus]
[bridge]
Don't think we don't miss you
(We think about you every day)
We still love you anyway
('cause Love don't go away)
There's still this burning question
(I got to know) Why?
(What will people think when they
Hear that I'm a Jesus freak?)
Ah, ah, ah (hey)
(While this is something of fantasy)
(The moral of the story is)
(To stick with your friends)
Ah, ah, ah, ah (hey)
(What will you do if you lose 'em)
(You've known 'em all since you were 10)
(Get off your butt)
Ah, ah, ah, (hey)
(Go think of all the things you did)
(You would get shot for one of them)
(and they would for you, too)
Ah, ah, ah (hey, hey, 1, 2, 3, 4)
[repeat chorus]
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, and you're gone (my friend)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, so long
You've gone away, my friend
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, and you're gone (my friend)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, so long
We'll see you someday
Wish you well
Na, na, na, na, na, my friend
It was my cousin, Joan
She picked it up from the top 40 rack and then
I read your interview in Rolling Stone
You threw the boys a bone
And so I genuinely felt obliged to call
I know You never meant to hurt us, man
We're just a baby band
You found a quicker way
To scale the wall of fame
The situation's awfully dim
Should we up and go with him?
No way (no way, 1, 2, 3, 4)
[chorus]
We know exactly where you are, and you're gone (my friend)
Don't know exactly where you're coming from
You've gone away my friend
We know exactly where you are, and you're gone (my friend)
Don't know exactly where you're coming from
Have you gone astray (gone)
I saw your video on VH-1
Looks like they spent a ton
How does it feel to be the flavor for a spell
And I remember when you used to say
"Jesus is the way"
I never thought I'd see your light begin to fade
The situation's awfully dim
Should we up and go with him?
No way (no way, 1, 2, 3, 4)
[repeat chorus]
[bridge]
Don't think we don't miss you
(We think about you every day)
We still love you anyway
('cause Love don't go away)
There's still this burning question
(I got to know) Why?
(What will people think when they
Hear that I'm a Jesus freak?)
Ah, ah, ah (hey)
(While this is something of fantasy)
(The moral of the story is)

Ah, ah, ah, ah (hey)

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, so long
You've gone away, my friend
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, and you're gone (my friend)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, so long
We'll see you someday
Wish you well
Na, na, na, na, na, my friend
Fearless lyrics - DC Talk
Haunted by a jaded past
Never thought that love could last
Hope was but a castaway at sea
Skepticism took it's toll
Closed the windows to my soul
Was fighting just to keep my sanity
When out of the noise I could hear You breathing
You came along knowing just what I needed
Turned me around and ya got me believin'
You would die for me
Now I'm fearless with nothing left to hide
All the doubts of yesterday, love has driven them away
And now I'm fearless when I am by Your side
It's forever me and You in this covenant of truth
Ya know I'm fearless...oh yeah
Patiently You stripped away
The walls of pride that I had raised
You revealed the child inside of me
We will run and not grow old
Soar on wings as I've been told
Together we will fly the heavenlies
Cause out of the noise I could hear You breathing
You came along knowing just what I needed
Turned me around and ya got me believin'
I would die for You
Now I'm fearless with nothing left to hide
All the doubts of yesterday, love has driven them away
And now I'm fearless when I am by Your side
It's forever me and You in this covenant of truth
Ya know I'm fearless...oh yeah
Some of us leave the vine
Some of us fall in line
All of us have a friend in Jesus
Some of us live in fear
Some of us persevere
Knowing that You are near me, I am fearless
Now I'm fearless with nothing left to hide
All the doubts of yesterday, love has driven them away
And now I'm fearless when I am by Your side
It's forever me and You in this covenant of truth
Ya know I'm fearless...oh yeah
Never thought that love could last
Hope was but a castaway at sea
Skepticism took it's toll
Closed the windows to my soul
Was fighting just to keep my sanity
When out of the noise I could hear You breathing
You came along knowing just what I needed
Turned me around and ya got me believin'

Now I'm fearless with nothing left to hide
All the doubts of yesterday, love has driven them away
And now I'm fearless when I am by Your side
It's forever me and You in this covenant of truth

Godsend lyrics - DC Talk
Hoping, praying, I've been waiting
Everybody needs somebody to love
There's no question, straight from heaven
You're my angel, I'm so crazy for you
You're a Godsend
A blessing from above
You've been God-sent to me
You're the Godsend
I've been dreaming of
You're a Godsend
Holding your hand, touching your face
I will love you now and always I swear
I will never forget that first moment we met
When two worlds collided and I found my best friend
You're a Godsend
A blessing from above
You've been God-sent to me
You're the Godsend
I've been dreaming of
You're a Godsend
I was made for you, you were made for me
In this lonely world, we were meant to be in love
I will never forget that first moment we met
When two worlds, they crashed in
And I found my best friend
You're a Godsend
A blessing from above
You've been God-sent to me
You're the Godsend
I've been dreaming of
You're a Godsend

And I found my best friend
You're a Godsend
A blessing from above
You've been God-sent to me
You're the Godsend
I've been dreaming of
You're a Godsend
Wanna Be Loved lyrics - DC Talk
We all wanna be loved, yeah
We all want just a little respect
We all wanna be loved
Tell me what's wrong with that
Oh, somebody tell me
A rainy Monday afternoon
There's a funk over the city
Everybody's movin' to a different tune
Some are weak and some are strong
And some are sittin' pretty
And then there's others who are barely hanging on
It's no easy situation
People living in their separate worlds
But one thing we got in common is
[chorus]
We all wanna be loved
We all want just a little respect
We all wanna be loved
Tell me what's wrong with that
I've never heard a dying soul
Wish that he had taken
More time on his portfolio
I swear I've never heard a mama say
Should've never had that baby
As a doctor holds her newborn on display
It's the heavenly prescription
A little bit will go a long, long way
Just put yourself in their position, don't...
[repeat chorus 2x]
(Ahhh yeah, now this is what I call a party)
(Party people everywhere)
[?]
(Look to my left, there go my boys)
(Hold up fellows, hold up)
(Wait, hold up fellows)
Faith and hope are worth a mention
But love is holding it's position
[repeat chorus]
Love is a thing that we all crave
Let's get it straight
We all want just a little respect
We all wanna be loved
Tell me what's wrong with that
Oh, somebody tell me
A rainy Monday afternoon
There's a funk over the city
Everybody's movin' to a different tune
Some are weak and some are strong
And some are sittin' pretty
And then there's others who are barely hanging on

Since I Met You lyrics - DC Talk
[intro]
Was at the end of my rope, had nowhere to go
Was at the end of my rope, I had nothing to show
Until the day I turned to You, was at the end of my
(What?)
(You talking to me?)
(You talking to me?)
(You call me crazy [x4])
You call me crazy, man you make my day
My state of residence was disarray
At every party and as far as anybody knew - everything was cool, but
The truth was bottled up inside of me
I was as lonely as a man could be
And my 200 friends couldn't fill the void in my soul
It was a giant hole
Nothing made any sense
I thought there would never be an end
Then love came knocking at my door
[chorus]
Since I met You I've been alright
You turn all my darkness into light
Since I met You I've been okay, I've been alright
(Ya know I've been alright)
Since I met You I've been okay
You're rolling my winter into may
And since I met You I've been alright
I've been okay (since I met you)
I've been okay (since I met you)
You got me feeling like a million bucks
Some people write it OFF as Irish luck
But I know better, cause my rabbit's foot never did me a bit of good
The truth hit me like a sock in the eye
A revelation that I can't deny
Your love has overtaken every little part of me
You were what I needed
I'm carried away
Never seen the sunshine like today
You made something of my life
[repeat chorus]
[bridge]
Was at the end of my rope
I had no where to go, go
Was at the end of my rope
I had nothing to show
Until the day that I turned to you
Was at the end of my rope
I had nowhere to go, go, go
Was at the end of my rope
I had nothing to show
Until the day that I turned to you
Was at the end of my rope
(Yeah, that's right, I'm talkin' to you)
Sick and tired [x4]
Sick and tired of the same ol' fluff
You CAME ALONG and You shook me up
You got me tripping on a vision of eternity
I can see it clearly
[chorus]
Was at the end of my rope
(With nowhere to go)
I had nowhere to go, go
(Nowhere to go)
Was at the end of my rope
(With nothing to show)
Had nowhere to go, go, go
(I had nowhere to go)
Was at the end (I had nowhere to go) (come on) of my rope
(I had nowhere to go) (come on)
Was at the end (nowhere to go) (come on) of my rope
(I had nowhere to go) Was at the end, then I met you

Was at the end of my rope, had nowhere to go
Was at the end of my rope, I had nothing to show

Into Jesus - DC Talk
I see the moon, a million stars are out tonight
Gentle reminders of the way You are
A sea of glass, a raging storm has come to pass
You show Your face in an array of ways
My feet may venture to the ground

I can't hold it in
My soul is screaming
Hey you, I'm into Jesus
Hey you, I'm into Jesus, oh yeah

Supernatural lyrics - DC Talk
This world's a tortured place to be
So many things to torment me
And as I stumble down this road it takes a toll
These days and nights I turn to You
No human hand can pull me through
No cosmic force or magic brew will ever do
But I can see it coming
You're not so far away
'Cause I can feel Your power
Surging through the whole of me
[chorus 1]
God is there and He is watching
He tells me all is well (it's supernatural)
God is there, there's no denying
He's supernatural (it's supernatural)
Supernatural
Beyond this physical terrain
There's an invisible domain
Where angels battle over souls in vast array
But down on earth is where I am
No wings to fly, no place to stand
Here on my knees I am a stranger in this land
I need an intervention
A touch of providence
It goes beyond religion
To my very circumstance
[repeat chorus 1]
[chorus 2]
God is there and He is watching
The signs are everywhere (the signs are everywhere)
God is there, there's no denying
It's supernatural (it's supernatural)
Supernatural
[bridge]
In six days, the universe was made
Supernatural
And from the dead a man was raised
Supernatural
They say He walked across the waves
Supernatural
And I'll believe it to my grave
But I can see You coming
You're not so far away
'Cause I can feel Your power
Surging through the whole of me

Red Letters - DC Talk
Pages filled with a holy message
Sealed with a kiss from heaven
On a scroll long ago
Phrases, words that were bound together
Now have the power to sever
Like a sword evermore
Heed the words divinely spoken
May your restless heart be broken
Let the supernatural take hold
[chorus]
There is love in the red letters
There is truth in the red letters
There is hope for the hopeless
Peace and forgiveness
There is life in the red letters
In the red letters
One man came to reveal a mystery
Changing the course of history
Made the claim he was God
Ageless, born of a virgin Mary
Spoke with a voice that carried through the years
It's persevered
Heed the words divinely spoken
May your restless heart be broken
Let the supernatural take hold
[repeat chorus]

What You say moves me, revelation, come and take me
The more I look (the more I look) the more I see (the more I see)

Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's the book of love
That moves

Let Him in your heart [x4]
There Is A Treason At Sea lyrics - DC Talk
I am solo in this world of water
Only the tip of a sunrise visible
Like the morning light in a little girl's eyes
I crave this freedom
I find it only in this little ship
Just my soul and this bread and butter
I am comfortable
But there is a treason at sea
Is it me?
It is a wonder, supernatural cover of war
The dark ones who eternal in damnation grow
Set about me now
How they whine and crow
I am solo
In this world of wet
And bitter is my temperament
I close the door to sentiment
And I relish all my youth
I realize that I am doomed
Fear of love and fear of You
But You give me the keys to paradise
It is You who sympathize
You and Your perfection grow
I am cradled in Your oceans throw
I crave Your freedom in this little ship
For You alone can chart my trip
And like these waves I lose my grip
And I sink into Your arms
Only the tip of a sunrise visible
Like the morning light in a little girl's eyes
I crave this freedom
I find it only in this little ship
Just my soul and this bread and butter
I am comfortable
But there is a treason at sea
Is it me?
It is a wonder, supernatural cover of war
The dark ones who eternal in damnation grow
Set about me now
How they whine and crow
I am solo
In this world of wet
And bitter is my temperament
I close the door to sentiment
And I relish all my youth
I realize that I am doomed
Fear of love and fear of You
But You give me the keys to paradise
It is You who sympathize
You and Your perfection grow
I am cradled in Your oceans throw
I crave Your freedom in this little ship
For You alone can chart my trip
And like these waves I lose my grip
And I sink into Your arms
So Help Me God lyrics - DC Talk
(I got something for you, man)
(Go for a ride)
Bombarded by philosophies that satisfy the surface
I flee to something deeper
At the risk of seeking purpose
How can I hang in this environmental state of being
When everything I'm striving for
Is nothing that I'm seeing
[chorus 1]
Won't You take my heart, won't You take my soul
Won't You come and make me whole again
You, You've got what I need and You never retreat
Unto You I will concede
[chorus 2]
So help me God
To put my faith in You
So help me God
Before I come unglued
Call it my addiction
I can't get enough of You
So help me God
To put my faith in You
Infected by the skin I'm in this starving with desire
And Jesus ain't the latest thing to come across the wire
I throw myself at mercy for I am the chief of sinners
But daily taking up my cross
Has brought it's share of splinters
You're there when I call
And You're there when I fall
Even though I don't deserve it all
You, You light my way
Through the night and the day
And from You I will not stray
[repeat chorus 2]
[vamp]
[repeat choruses 1 and 2]
God so help me
This is my soul plea
I'm desperately devoted
I can't get enough of You
So help me God
Cause You are the one I love
Cause You are the one I need
(I need you)
Cause You are the one I'm seeking
(Every single day)
Cause You are the one for me
(I just walked into a meet in 3...
And everybody's starin' at me...
I gotta go)
(Go for a ride)
Bombarded by philosophies that satisfy the surface
I flee to something deeper
At the risk of seeking purpose
How can I hang in this environmental state of being
When everything I'm striving for
Is nothing that I'm seeing
[chorus 1]
Won't You take my heart, won't You take my soul
Won't You come and make me whole again
You, You've got what I need and You never retreat
Unto You I will concede
[chorus 2]

Infected by the skin I'm in this starving with desire
And Jesus ain't the latest thing to come across the wire
I throw myself at mercy for I am the chief of sinners
But daily taking up my cross
Has brought it's share of splinters
You're there when I call
And You're there when I fall
Even though I don't deserve it all
You, You light my way

Colored People lyrics - DC Talk
(1, 1, 1, 1... 2, 2, 2, 2... 3, 3, 3, 3... 4, 4, 4, 4)
Pardon me, your epidermis is showing, sir
I couldn't help but note your shade of melanin
I tip my hat to the colorful arrangement
Cause I see the beauty in the tones of our skin
We've gotta come together
And thank the Maker of us all
We're colored people, and we live in a tainted place
We're colored people, and they call us the human race
We've got a history so full of mistakes
And we are colored people who depend on a Holy Grace
(1, 1, 1, 1... 2, 2, 2, 2... 3, 3, 3, 3... 4, 4, 4, 4)
A piece of canvas is only the beginning for
It takes on character with every loving stroke
This thing of beauty is the passion of an Artist's heart
By God's design, we are a skin kaleidoscope
We've gotta come together,
Aren't we all human after all?
We're colored people, and we live in a tainted place
We're colored people, and they call us the human race
We've got a history so full of mistakes
And we are colored people who depend on a Holy Grace
Ignorance has wronged some races
And vengeance is the Lord's
If we aspire to share this space
Repentance is the cure
(1, 1, 1, 1... 2, 2, 2, 2... 3, 3, 3, 3... 4, 4, 4, 4)
Well, just a day in the shoes of a color blind man
Should make it easy for you to see
That these diverse tones do more than cover our bones
As a part of our anatomy
We're colored people, and we live in a tainted place
We're colored people, and they call us the human race
We've got a history so full of mistakes
And we are colored people who depend on a Holy Grace
We're colored people, and they call us the human race
(Oh, colored people)
We're colored people, and we all gotta share this space
(Yeah we've got to come together somehow)
We're colored people, and we live in a tainted world
(Red and yellow, black and white)
We're colored people, every man, woman, boy, and girl
(Colored people, colored people, colored people, colored people, yeah)
Pardon me, your epidermis is showing, sir
I couldn't help but note your shade of melanin
I tip my hat to the colorful arrangement
Cause I see the beauty in the tones of our skin
We've gotta come together
And thank the Maker of us all
We're colored people, and we live in a tainted place
We're colored people, and they call us the human race
We've got a history so full of mistakes
And we are colored people who depend on a Holy Grace

Jesus Freak - DC Talk
What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak?
What will people do
When they find that's it's true?
Separated, I cut myself clean
From a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams
Been apprehended by a spiritual force
And a grace that replaced all the me I've divorced
I saw a man with a tat on his big fat belly
It wiggled around like marmalade jelly
It took me a while to catch what it said
'Cause I had to match the rhythm of his belly with my head
'Jesus Saves' is what it raved in a typical tattoo green
He stood on a box in the middle of the city
And he claimed he had a dream
What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
Ain't no disguising the truth
No, I ain't into hiding the truth
Kamikaze, my death is gain
I've been marked by my Maker
A peculiar display
The high and lofty, they see me as weak
'Cause I won't live and die for the power they seek
There was a man from the desert with naps in his head
The sand that he walked was also his bed
The words that he spoke made the people assume
There wasn't too much left in the upper room
With skins on his back and hair on his face
They thought he was strange by the locusts he ate
You see the Pharisees tripped when they heard him speak
Until the king took the head of this Jesus freak
What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
No, I ain't into hiding
People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger
People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger

What If I Stumble lyrics - DC Talk
[Brennan Manning:]
The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today
Is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips
Then walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle.
That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.
What if I stumble?
What if I fall?
Is this one for the people?
Is this one for the Lord?
Or do I simply serenade
For things I must afford?
You can jumble them together
My conflict still remains
Holiness is calling
In the midst of courting fame
'Cause I see the trust in their eyes
Though the sky is falling
They need Your love in their lives
Compromise is calling
What if I stumble
What if I fall?
What if I lose my step
And I make fools of us all?
Will the love continue
When my walk becomes a crawl?
What if I stumble
And what if I fall?
What if I stumble
What if I fall?
You never turn in
The heat of it all
What if I stumble
What if I fall?
Father please forgive me
For I cannot compose
The fear that lives within me
Or the rate at which it grows
If struggle has a purpose
On the narrow road you've carved
Why do I dread my trespasses
Will leave a deadly scar
Do they see the fear in my eyes?
Are they so revealing?
This time I cannot disguise
All the doubt I'm feeling
What if I stumble
What if I fall?
What if I lose my step
And I make fools of us all?
Will the love continue
When my walk becomes a crawl?
What if I stumble
And what if I fall?
What if I stumble?
Everyone's got to crawl
When you know that
You're up against a wall
It's about to fall
Everyone's got to crawl
When you know that
Everyone's got to crawl
When you know that
You're up against a wall
It's about to fall
Everyone's got to crawl
When you know that
I hear You whispering my name
(You say)
My love for You will never change
(Never change)
What if I stumble
What if I fall?
What if I lose my step
And I make fools of us all?
Will the love continue
When my walk becomes a crawl?
What if I stumble
And what if I fall?
What if I stumble
And what if I fall?
What if I lose my step
And I make fools of us all?
Will the love continue
When my walk becomes a crawl?
What if I stumble
And what if I fall?
What if I stumble
What if I fall?
You never turn in
The heat of it all
What if I stumble
What if I fall?
You are my comfort
And my God
Is this one for the people
Is this one for the Lord?

Day By Day lyrics - DC Talk
I live a simple life, I take a day at a time
I spend my mornings with God before I hit the grind
The subtleties of darkness never cease to amaze
As a physical world creates a spiritual haze
Blinded by distractions
Lost in matterless affairs
Reaching through the darkness
Trusting You will meet me there
Day by day, day by day
Day by day, day by day
Oh dear Lord, three things I pray (one, two, three)
To see thee more clearly (day by day)
To love thee more dearly (day by day)
To follow thee more nearly (I got to take it)
Day by day
You cruise around the corner
You watch your back
You sweep your feet down alley streets
Sometimes you creep, I never see you coming
Monday, man you're on my back
Like a knapsack strapped with my heavy burden
No, You cannot condemn me
I won't buy your bag of goods
You've got nothing for me anyway
That's why I pray
Day by day, day by day
Day by day, day by day
Oh dear Lord, three things I pray (one, two, three)
To see thee more clearly (day by day)
To love thee more dearly (day by day)
To follow thee more nearly (I got to take it)
Day by day
These three things
I do pray
Day by day
Day by day, by day, by day
(These three things)
Day by day, by day, by day
(I do pray)
Day by day, by day, by day, by day [2x] (it's one step out of time)
Day by day, day by day
Day by day, day by day
Oh dear Lord, three things I pray (one, two, three)
To see thee more clearly (day by day)
To love thee more dearly (day by day)
To follow thee more nearly (I got to take it)
Day by day
As you walk
Day by day
Go to God and pray,
"I'm gonna go Your way"
(I'm gonna pray)
See thee more clearly (every day)
Love thee more dearly (oooh, oh yeah)
Follow thee more nearly (I'm gonna go your way)
Does any body hear me?
Day by day, by day, by day by
Day by day, by day, by day by
Day by day, by day, by day, by day
(I know I'm always safe with you)
(One day at a time)
I spend my mornings with God before I hit the grind
The subtleties of darkness never cease to amaze
As a physical world creates a spiritual haze
Blinded by distractions
Lost in matterless affairs
Reaching through the darkness
Trusting You will meet me there
Day by day, day by day
Day by day, day by day

Mrs. Morgan lyrics - DC Talk
Well, I'm Catherine Morgan
And I'm the next-door neighbor to the Gotee's
And uh, the Gotee's were over there
And they had a drummer that came in here
To play the drums that day
And he played it early in the mornin', and he played it
I had him for breakfast, and for lunch, and for dinner
So I hollered at Todd and told him
That I couldn't stand that drummer any longer
That he was driving my crazy
And Kevin spoke up and said, "Mrs. Morgan," says, "that's a live drummer
We've got over there today"
And I said, "If he hits the drum one more time,
He's gone be a dead drummer"
And that was the last I heard of the drummer that day
And I'm the next-door neighbor to the Gotee's
And uh, the Gotee's were over there
And they had a drummer that came in here
To play the drums that day
And he played it early in the mornin', and he played it
I had him for breakfast, and for lunch, and for dinner
So I hollered at Todd and told him
That I couldn't stand that drummer any longer
That he was driving my crazy
And Kevin spoke up and said, "Mrs. Morgan," says, "that's a live drummer
We've got over there today"
And I said, "If he hits the drum one more time,
He's gone be a dead drummer"
And that was the last I heard of the drummer that day
Between You And Me lyrics - DC Talk
Sorrow is a lonely feeling
Unsettled is a painful place
I've lived with both
For far too long now
Since we've parted ways
I've been wrestling
With my conscience
And I found myself to blame
If there's to be any resolution
I've got to peel my pride away
Just between you and me
I've got something to say
Wanna get it straight
Before the sun goes down
Just between you and me
Confession needs to be made
Recompense is my way to freedom now
Just between you and me
I've got something to say
If confession is the road to healing
Forgiveness is the promised land, oh
I'm reaching out in my conviction
I'm longing to make amends, yeah
So I'm sorry for
The words I've spoken
For I've betrayed a friend
We've got a love
That's worth preserving
And a bond I will defend
Just between you and me
I've got something to say
Wanna get it straight
Before the sun goes down
Just between you and me
Confession needs to be made
Recompense is my way to freedom
Just between you and me
I've got something to say
In my pursuit of God
I thirst for holiness
As I approach the Son
I must consider this
Offenses unresolved
Will keep me from the throne
Before I go to Him
My wrong must be atoned
If there's to be any resolution
I've got to peel this pride away
Ooh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Just between you and me
I've got something to say
Wanna get it straight
Before the sun goes down
Just between you and me
Confession needs to be made
Recompense is my way to freedom
It's my way to freedom
It's my way to freedom
It's my way to freedom
I've got something to say
So let me say it today
It's my way to freedom
It's my way to freedom
I've got something to say
Confession needs to be made
It's my way to freedom
It's my way to freedom
I've got something to say
Confession needs to be made
It's my way to freedom
It's my way to freedom
I've got something to say
Unsettled is a painful place
I've lived with both
For far too long now
Since we've parted ways
I've been wrestling
With my conscience
And I found myself to blame
If there's to be any resolution
I've got to peel my pride away

As I approach the Son
I must consider this
Offenses unresolved
Will keep me from the throne
Before I go to Him
My wrong must be atoned
If there's to be any resolution
I've got to peel this pride away
Ooh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Just between you and me
I've got something to say
Wanna get it straight
Before the sun goes down
Just between you and me
Confession needs to be made
Recompense is my way to freedom
It's my way to freedom
It's my way to freedom
It's my way to freedom
I've got something to say
So let me say it today
It's my way to freedom
It's my way to freedom
I've got something to say
Confession needs to be made
It's my way to freedom
It's my way to freedom
I've got something to say
Confession needs to be made
It's my way to freedom
It's my way to freedom
I've got something to say
Like It, Love It, Need It lyrics - DC Talk
Under these circumstances, they can hardly cope
Notice their fleeting glances and their lack of hope
I offer this suggestion, they don't seem to care-o
This is my generation, drowning in despair-o
You'll never find peace of mind in your pool of self
You'll never find peace of mind in a sea of wealth
You'll never find peace of mind in your rock and roll
You'll never find peace of mind if you sell your soul
[chorus]
You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you need some freedom from the strife
You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you need some Jesus in your life
(Some Jesus in your life, some Jesus in your life)
We circumvent our feelings through an angry sound
He who complains the loudest, wears the fattest crown
We're anti-everybody, call it paranoia
Well I ain't no judge or jury, but I'm praying for ya
You'll never find peace of mind in your lucky charm
You'll never find peace of mind on a hippie farm
You'll never find peace of mind in a one-night stand
You'll never find peace of mind in your superman
[repeat chorus]
You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you need it
You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you need some Jesus in your life
Like it, love it, need it, don't leave it
Like it (don't you like it?)
Love it, need it (don't you need it?)
Don't leave it
Ya dropped right into the middle of a freak attack
Cause we're back and we're comin' like that
Ya see we're lowerin' the boom in the middle of the tune
Cause the funk is always heavy where it's at
And while you're whining all the time
Never changing any minds
It is clear to see your lip has lost its button
Cause if ya take a think at this
Then it's easy to admit
That the selfish way you're livin' is for nothing
You gotta like it
You know you need some freedom from the strife
You gotta love it
I know you need some Jesus in your life
[repeat chorus]
You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you need it
You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you, God knows you need it
You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you need it
Some Jesus in your life
Jesus in your life
Notice their fleeting glances and their lack of hope
I offer this suggestion, they don't seem to care-o
This is my generation, drowning in despair-o
You'll never find peace of mind in your pool of self
You'll never find peace of mind in a sea of wealth
You'll never find peace of mind in your rock and roll
You'll never find peace of mind if you sell your soul
[chorus]
You gotta like it, you gotta love it
I know you need some freedom from the strife
You gotta like it, you gotta love it

You'll never find peace of mind on a hippie farm
You'll never find peace of mind in a one-night stand

Jesus Freak (Reprise) lyrics - DC Talk
What would people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak?
And what will people do when they find that it's true?
What would people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak?
What would people do when they find that it's true?
Hallelujah, thank you
How many came from Shelby county today?
Hallelujah, I see ya back there, hallelujah
Glory, thank you, thank you very much
Just sway your hands to the music
When they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak?
And what will people do when they find that it's true?
What would people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak?
What would people do when they find that it's true?
Hallelujah, thank you
How many came from Shelby county today?
Hallelujah, I see ya back there, hallelujah
Glory, thank you, thank you very much
Just sway your hands to the music
In The Light lyrics - DC Talk
(originally by Charlie Peacock)
(1, 2, 3)
I keep trying to find a life
On my own, apart from You
I am the king of excuses
I've got one for every selfish thing I do
What's going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior
[chorus]
I wanna be in the Light
As You are in the Light
I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens
Oh, Lord be my Light and be my salvation
Cause all I want is to be in the Light
All I want is to be in the Light
The disease of self runs through my blood
It's a cancer fatal to my soul
Every attempt on my behalf has failed
To bring this sickness under control
Tell me, what's going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior
[repeat chorus]
Honesty becomes me
(There's nothing left to lose)
The secrets that did run me
(In Your presence are defused)
Pride has no position
(And riches have no worth)
The fame that once did cover me
(Has been sentenced to this Earth)
Has been sentenced to this Earth
Tell me, what's going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior
[repeat chorus 2x]
(There's no other place that I want to be)
(No other place that I can see)
(A place to be that's just right)
(Someday I'm gonna be in the Light)
(You are in the Light)
(That's where I need to be)
(That's right where I need to be)
(1, 2, 3)
I keep trying to find a life
On my own, apart from You
I am the king of excuses
I've got one for every selfish thing I do
What's going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior
[chorus]
I wanna be in the Light
As You are in the Light
I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens
Oh, Lord be my Light and be my salvation
Cause all I want is to be in the Light
All I want is to be in the Light
The disease of self runs through my blood
It's a cancer fatal to my soul

What Have We Become? lyrics - DC Talk
A preacher shuns his brother
Cause his bride's a different color
And this is not acceptable
His papa taught him so
It was love that he'd been preaching
But this was overreaching
The boundaries stretchin' further
Than his heart would choose to go
Like an angel with no wings
Like a kingdom with no king
What have we become?
A self indulgent people
What have we become?
Tell me where are the righteous ones?
What have we become?
In a world degenerating
What have we become?
Speak your mind, look out for yourself
The answer to it all is a life of wealth
Grab all you can cause you live just once
You got the right to do whatever you want
Don't worry about others or where you came from
It ain't what you were, it's what you have become
Mom and Dad are fightin'
As Rosie lies there crying
For once again she's overheard
Regrets of their mistake
With Christmas bells a-ringing
Little Rosie'd leave them grievin'
The gift she'd give her family
Would be the pills she'd take
An inconvenient child
She wasn't worth their while
What have we become?
A self indulgent people
What have we become?
Tell me where are the righteous ones?
What have we become?
In a world degenerating
What have we become?
Speak your mind, look out for yourself
The answer to it all is a life of wealth
Grab all you can cause you live just once
You got the right to do whatever you want
Don't worry about others or where you came from
It ain't what you were, it's what you have become
Don't worry about others or where you came from
It ain't what you were, it's what you have become
What about love?
What about God?
What about holiness?
What about mercy, compassion and selflessness?
You know it's true
He is there for me and you
Doesn't matter what you do
What have we become?
A self indulgent people
What have we become?
Tell me where are the righteous ones?

Mind's Eye lyrics - DC Talk
(In my mind, I can see Your face
As Your love pours down in a shower of grace
Some people tell me that You're just a dream
My faith is the evidence of things unseen)
In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye
In my mind's eye, in my mind
You know what I'm going through
I know this is true
'Cause You stood in my shoes
Desire's inside of me
But it's hard to believe
In what you cannot see
Can you catch the wind?
See a breeze?
Its presence is revealed by
The leaves on a tree
An image of my faith in the unseen
[chorus]
In my mind's eye
I see Your face
You smile as you show me grace
In my mind's eye
You take my hand
We walk through foreign lands
The foreign lands of life
In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye
In my mind's eye, in my mind
In my mind I'm where I belong
As I rest in your arms
And like a child I hold on to you
In my moment of truth, yes I do
We can ride the storm
Endure the pain
You comfort me in my hurricane
And I'll never be alone again
[repeat chorus 2x]
In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye
In my mind's eye, in my mind
In my mind I can see Your face
Love pours down in a shower of grace
Life is a gift that You choose to give
I believe we eternally live
Faith is the evidence of things unseen
People tell me that You're just a dream
But they don't know You the way that I do
You're the one I live to pursue
Can you catch the wind?
(Can you see God, have you ever seen Him?
I've never seen the wind
I seen the effects of the wind
But I've never seen the wind)
Can you see the breeze?
(There's a mystery to it)
[repeat chorus]
In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye
(I see You there again)
In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye
(I know You'll meet me there my Friend)
In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye
(I know You're there, I can touch You there)
In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye
(I want You there, I need You there, I see You there, I know You care)
(And I believe, and I believe, and I believe)
As Your love pours down in a shower of grace
Some people tell me that You're just a dream
My faith is the evidence of things unseen)
In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye
In my mind's eye, in my mind
You know what I'm going through
I know this is true

Alas, My Love lyrics - DC Talk
"Alas my love, you say goodbye
Wipe the poison from my brow
Alas my love, this guilty night
It gives me up like a foster child
And in this moment I take my vow
These angels sleeping at my feet
And in this moment you do not know how
How my spirit wants to flee"
You see it was one man against the night
Taking on a multitude
That had left Him high and dry
No candle burning vigil could light the way
Darkness hit the ground like a fallen satellite
He wrestled until morning
With human souls and dark angels
And there He finished His work
On the third day
Wipe the poison from my brow
Alas my love, this guilty night
It gives me up like a foster child
And in this moment I take my vow
These angels sleeping at my feet
And in this moment you do not know how
How my spirit wants to flee"
You see it was one man against the night
Taking on a multitude
That had left Him high and dry
No candle burning vigil could light the way
Darkness hit the ground like a fallen satellite
He wrestled until morning
With human souls and dark angels
And there He finished His work
On the third day
Luv Is A Verb lyrics - DC Talk
(Take this mark for a ride)
Boom! Burn! Bip! Yeah! Pow! Hey, ha ha.
Down with the dc Talk, d- d- down with the dc Talk
Are you down with the dc Talk, d- d- down with the dc Talk
Pullin' out my big black book
Cause when I need a word defined that's where I look
So I move to the L's quick, fast, in a hurry
Threw on my specs, thought my vision was blurry
I looked again but to my dismay
It was black and white with no room for grey
Ya see, a big "V" stood beyond my word
And yo that's when it hit me, that luv is a verb
[chorus 1]
Words come easy but don't mean much
When the words they're sayin' we can't put trust in
We're talkin' 'bout love in a different light
And if we all learn to love it would be just right
[chorus 2]
Hey, tell me haven't ya heard?
Luv is a serious word
Hey, I think it's time ya learned
I don't care what you say
I don't care care what ya heard
The word luv, luv is a verb
Down with the dc Talk, d- d- down with the dc Talk
Are you down with the dc Talk, d- d- down with the dc Talk
Thinkin' of a way to explain-o
Cause ya' know when I'm flowin' like a bottle of Drano
Simple and plain, L-O-V-E
Ain't all that junk that ya see on TV
Put soaps on a rope cause they ain't worth copin' with
It's a myth that there ain't no hope and
Luv is enough if it's unconditionally
Givin' now you're living out the Great Commission
[repeat choruses 1 and 2]
Back in the day there was a man
Who stepped out of Heaven and he walked the land
He delivered to the people an eternal choice
With a heart full of luv and the truth in His voice
Gave up His life so that we may live
How much more luv could the Son of God give?
Here is the example that we oughta be matchin'
Cause luv is a word that requires some action
[repeat chorus 1]
[repeat chorus 2 x4]
Boom! Burn! Bip! Yeah! Pow! Hey, ha ha.

That Kinda Girl lyrics - DC Talk
The other night I met a girl
And she looked to be so nice
I asked her for the digits
And she didn't think twice
A couple of days later called her up and asked her out
She said,'with you?' I said, 'with me,'
And then she said, 'without a doubt'
I took her to the Garden where
I guess they grow the Olives
She wore a tighter skirt
Than any I had seen in college
She said, 'I love to smoke and drink
While cursing like a sailor'
I asked her where she got her mouth
And if she had a tailor
Finally I walked her to the door to say goodnight
She said, 'I am an apple,
Would you care to take a bite?'
Politely I refused and said, 'I'm looking for a lady'
So she slapped me in my face and said,
'Boy, you must be crazy'
Different from the ones before
Different from the ones before, she's that kinda girl
Different from the ones before,
Cause I know she loves the Lord
She's that kinda girl, virtuous in every way
The kinda girl that makes you say,
'I hope she comes my way'
Well I'm lookin' for a girl who virtuous
Cause God laid it on my heart to search for this
So I open up the Word to the book of Proverbs
The 31st chapter tells me all about her
Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain
A woman who fears the Lord, she ain't playin'
Hear what I'm sayin', cause I'm sayin' it clearly
She's the kinda girl I gots to have near me
She's that kinda girl. Different from the ones before
Cause I know she loves the Lord
She's that kinda girl, virtuous in every way,
The kinda girl that makes you say...
Well I'm lookin' into hookin' with a lady
And not a girly of the worl'y that's shady
But the kinda girl you meet
Behind the doors of a church
Ya see, God will bring her to me
So I don't have to search
Too hard I've been scarred by the ones of the past
So put an APB out on the one that will last
A little longer than a roll in the hay for sure
But a bona fide lady's what I'm prayin' for
When I finally meet her, I'll know how to treat her
By fulfilling all her needs
Love her and respect her, cherish her forever
She's the kinda girl for me
She's that kinda girl
Different from the ones before,
Cause I know she loves the Lord
She's that kinda girl, perfect for each other
There'll never be another for me
She's that kinda girl, virtuous in every way
The kinda girl that makes you say
'I hope she comes my way'
Heaven help me, hear my plea
I know there's one who's perfect for me
When I finally meet her, I'll know how to treat her,
By fulfilling all her needs
Love her and respect her, cherish her forever
She's the kinda girl for me
She' the kinda girl for me, the kinda girl for me
She' the kinda girl for me
She' the kinda girl for me, the kinda girl for me
She' the kinda girl for me, I pray she come's my way
She's that kinda girl
Different from the ones before
Cause I know she loves the Lord
She's that kinda girl, virtuous in every way
The kinda girl that makes you say...
She's that kinda girl
(ya know what I'm saying)
Different from the ones before
She's the one that I adore
She's that kinda girl
(hey, the girly aint playin')
virtuous in every way
The kinda girl that makes you say
'I hope she comes my way'

So put an APB out on the one that will last
A little longer than a roll in the hay for sure
But a bona fide lady's what I'm prayin' for
When I finally meet her, I'll know how to treat her
By fulfilling all her needs
Love her and respect her, cherish her forever
She's the kinda girl for me
She's that kinda girl
Different from the ones before,
Cause I know she loves the Lord
She's that kinda girl, perfect for each other
There'll never be another for me
She's that kinda girl, virtuous in every way
The kinda girl that makes you say
'I hope she comes my way'
Heaven help me, hear my plea
I know there's one who's perfect for me
When I finally meet her, I'll know how to treat her,
By fulfilling all her needs
Love her and respect her, cherish her forever
She's the kinda girl for me
She' the kinda girl for me, the kinda girl for me
She' the kinda girl for me
She' the kinda girl for me, the kinda girl for me
She' the kinda girl for me, I pray she come's my way
She's that kinda girl
Different from the ones before
Cause I know she loves the Lord
She's that kinda girl, virtuous in every way
The kinda girl that makes you say...
She's that kinda girl
(ya know what I'm saying)
Different from the ones before
She's the one that I adore
She's that kinda girl
(hey, the girly aint playin')
virtuous in every way
The kinda girl that makes you say
'I hope she comes my way'
Greer lyrics - DC Talk
Um, Joey
This is um, this is Greer
Ah, hey, let me tell you somethin'
I just heard the new free at last record by dc talk
Hey, guess what man
I think they sampled some stuff
But don't say anything
I heard some stuff off some of my old records
That I think they picked
They may get in trouble
Bye

Ah, hey, let me tell you somethin'

Hey, guess what man

But don't say anything

Jesus Is Just Alright lyrics - DC Talk
(originally by The Art Reynolds Singers)
Do do do dupe dupe
Do do do dupe
Do do do dupe dupem dupe dopem do
Check it for me one time
Ohhhh, yeah yeah
Jesus is still alright with me
Jesus is still alright, oh yeah
Jesus is still alright with me
Jesus is still alright (He's alright!)
Toby Mac, and the Mac is back - no slack
On a DC track that's jacked,
Beyond comprehension
I believe that I failed to mention
That there's a lack of recognition
When it comes to His position
Cause if Christ can't be crossed over,
Then I'll keep my beat up Nova
Jesus is still alright with me
Jesus is still alright, oh yeah
Jesus is still alright with me
Jesus is still alright
I don't care what they may say
I don't care what they may do
I don't care what they may say
Jesus is still alright
Alright with me, yeah
Back in place, and I'm all up in your face
With a rhyme that I embrace,
Like a mother to her child
I'm kickin' it Jesus style
To the ones that think they heard
I did use the "J" word
'Cause I ain't too soft to say it
Even if DJ's don't play it
Do do do do do do do do

Now we come to the pay off
I'm down with the one that is known as the Son
Of the G to the O to the D never done
With the flow, in the know, on the go like a pro
Not for show cause I ain't in the biz for the dough
Or the me, or the ray, all the dough's gotta stay,
Cause I can't, no I can't, take it home anyway
Never trite when I write 'cause the Lord is my light
And His Word is my bond so ya know, (know, know, know, know...) He's alright
Jesus is still alright with me
Jesus is still alright, oh yeah
Jesus is still alright with me

Say The Words lyrics - DC Talk
(You gotta say it, you gotta say it)
Solomon once wrote:
"Better is open rebuke, than hidden love"
So say the words...
Silence is golden but these are the words
That the world needs to hear
(brothers and sisters)
Terms of compassion will cause a reaction
As love drives them near
But still we choose to hide behind the face of pride
Pretending we are blind to the calling
This is my point and case, if hate can be erased
With such a simple phrase, why are we stalling?
[chorus]
Say the words, say the words, say "I love you"
Say the words I long to hear
Say the words, say the words, say "I love you"
Say the words I long to hear
Ya gotta say it, ya gotta say it, say it
Ya gotta say it, ya gotta say it
Some just assume we already know
Of the love that they feel
(brothers and sisters)
Some have a heartfelt emotion
But never the words to reveal
I think we all relate, so why are we afraid
To let our hearts convey what we're feeling?
There is a world in need with hungry souls to feed
And love can intercede if we're willing, so...
[repeat chorus]
Ya gotta say it, ya gotta say it, say it
Ya gotta say it, ya gotta say it
(check this out)
The word love, well it was once overused
Back in the 70's the word was abused
But I refuse to let love be diluted
We can't allow physical lust to intrude it
Or pollute it cause there ain't no excuse
For the greatest gift of all to be abused
So choose to lose the pride that may tug at you
Don't be afraid of the words "I love you"
[repeat chorus]
Choose to lose the pride that may tug at you
Don't be afraid of the words "I love you"
Won't you say the words
Say the words
Say the words "I love you"
(You've got to say it)
Say the words
Say the words
Say them over and over
(Yeah, you've got to say it, say it)
Choose to lose the pride that may tug at you
Don't be afraid of the words "I love you"

Ahhhhh yeah, ha ha!)
W.D.C.T., talk radio
With the sounds that shake them bones
'Cause we're bringing you the funk, the whole funk,
and nothin' but the funk
dc Talk style, (oh yeah) day and night, night and day
And it's me the E, flippin' the wax
So kick back, relax all you little funkadelics
'Cause the train's in the house
Kickin the mad styles for ya
So yo, next up is that little diddy
Off that funky, funky, funky little ablum, "Free At Last"
(It's about time!)
Word, ya know what I'm saying?
(... Been tellin' me it's been comin' out for two years
Been waitin' on this record, man
It's about time you be flippin' instead of flakin')
Brother be flippin'.

Socially Acceptable lyrics - DC Talk
(It's okay, it's all right)
It's okay, it's alright
Yeah, here we go
dcT is in the house boy
It's okay, it's alright
Whatcha thinking, doing the things you do
Whose opinion are ya listening to?
Justifying, you turn it all to gray
Synchronizing to society's ways
Society has gotten to be all outta whack
And don't bother with excuses whether white or black
To blame it on a color won't get a result
Because history reveals to me how ethics were lost
In reality our decency has taken a plunge
"In God We Trust" is an American pun
Funny how it happened so suddenly
Hey yo fellas, kick the melody...
[chorus]
Socially acceptable, it's okay, it's all right
Socially acceptable, it's okay, in whose sight
Socially acceptable
Times are changing, with morals in decay
Human rights have made the wrongs okay
Something's missing, and if you're asking me
I think that something is the G-O-D
To label wrong or right by the people's sight
Is like going to a loser to ask advice
And by basing your plans
On another man's way of living life
Is creating a brand of ethics
Sure to be missing the punch
No count morals that are out to lunch
They're sliding away cause everything is okay
It was taboo back then but today ya say, "What the hey"
[repeat chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Here we go, here we go
A come on, a come on
Here we go, here we go
A come on, a come on
Here we go, here we go
A come on, a come on
Here we go, here we go
A come on, a come on
Everybody's doin' it
Who's doin' it
Everybody's doin' it
Yo, who's doin' it
Everybody's doin' it
Who's doin' it
Everybody's doin' it
Yo, yo, yo, who's doin' it
Ohhhh, alright
Ohhhh, come on
[bridge]
We gotta back to the principles found in the Word
A little G-O-D could be society's cure
From the state that we're in cause again we're slipping
So pray for America cause time is ticking
[repeat chorus 2x]

Free At Last lyrics - DC Talk
Young people
Welcome to the... [?]... heaven... [?]... and ministry tonight
Won't you please turn in your hymnals to page 333
Sister Mildred, we're gonna play free at last
Free at last, thank God almighty
Free at last, free at last
I thank God I'm free at last
Free at last, free at last
I thank God I'm free at last
(Have you heard?)
(Listen carefully)
(I can't stop)
[chorus 1]
Free, free, I'm free at last
Thank God Almighty I'm free at last
Free, free, I'm free at last
Thank God Almighty I'm free
[chorus 2]
Cause I'm free, free at last
And I'm free, from my past, and I'm free
Free from sin, and I'm free
And I ain't going back again
Shackles had me down but He gave me a new sound
So reclaim my name from the lost and found
Ya see, something's got me jumpin'
And I think it's the way
That He can take a hard man
And turn him into soft clay
Out of the darkness, the Father has sparked this
The spirit's alive while the flesh is a carcass
If you're seriously curious about my past
Well I once was lost but I'm free at last!
[repeat choruses 1 and 2]
Oppression was in session and my life was the term
But when I heard about the Word I was willing to learn
About a flavor I could savor and a brighter tomorrow
Cause this could never be endeavored by a wish on a star
The Father first receives us, the Truth then frees us
Forgiven, now I'm living like a man full of Jesus
It was hell until I fell upon my knees and prayed
But now the yoke that I was totin' has been taken away
[repeat chorus 1]
Cause I'm free, free at last, free
From my past, free from sin, and I'm free
And down on my knees when my life passed me by
And I ain't, no I ain't going back again
F R to the E E
L A to the S T
Out of the darkness, the Father has sparked this
The spirit's alive while the flesh is a carcass
If you're seriously curious about my past
Well I was once lost but I'm free at last
I'm here to tell you what he did for me and
I'm here to tell you that he set me free and
I know that He can do the same for you, too
He did it, I'm wit it, so come and get it
Be free at last!
[repeat chorus 1 x2]
When all of God's children: black men and white men,
Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics
Will be able to join hands and
Sing in the words of the old negro spiritual...
[repeat chorus 1]
Cause I'm free, free at last, cause I'm free
I'm free, I'm free, I'm free, I'm free, I'm free
Down on my knees when my life passed me by
And I ain't, no I ain't going back again
Thank God I'm free
Free at last, free at last
Thank God almighty we are free at last!

Time Is... lyrics - DC Talk
(It's, it's too short, it's too short)
(I have lots of time)
(They say time waits for no man)
(All the time)
(Wasted time, wasted time)
(Wait a minute)
(This'll just take a little time)
(Time out!)
Time is tickin' away, time is tickin'
(Tick tock!)
Time is tickin' away, time is tickin'
Tick, tick, tick, tock, tickin'
Here we go again
Straight up rock-n-roll
All that hip hop... [?] is...
Don't forget
Let's go
Here we go, everybody
Let's go
Here we go, everybody
Let's go
Here we go, everybody
Let's go, check it out
You got a gift and you best start using it
Cause if you don't you're gonna wind up losing it
Just like the brother who buried it deep
The task was simple but the price was steep
We got a mission while we're on this earth
We need to tell people 'bout our second birth
Get busy like a school boy makin' an "A"
Cause time my brother is tickin' away
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
(Tick, tock, tickity-tock)
(Tick, tock, tickity-tock)
(Tick, tock, tickity-tock)
(Tickity-tickity-tickity-tock)
Right now is the time that we gotta get with it
The gift that He's given ain't just an exhibit
But a tool that He's given us to use for His sake
And just as He's given He can surely take
The signs of the times are dropping like flies
The cries of the people around us imply
They're lookin' for an answer that we already know
But time is definitely on the go
All the money in the world (all the time)
Can never stop the hands of time
And a wasted day in your life (all the time)
Is more than a crime
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
(Tick, tock, tickity-tock)
(Tick, tock, tickity-tock)
(Tick, tock, tickity-tock)
(Tickity-tickity-tickity-tock)
Time is tickin' away, time is tickin' (tickin' on and on and on)
Time is tickin' away, time is tickin' (Now break it down)
You got a gift and you best start using it
Cause if you don't you're gonna wind up losing it
Get busy like a school boy makin' an "A"
Cause time my brother is tickin' away
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
(Is this the last hurrah?)
Time is tickin', it keeps on tickin'
Time is tickin' away [6x]
Time is...
(Whoa, wait a minute...)
(I have lots of time)
(They say time waits for no man)
(All the time)
(Wasted time, wasted time)
(Wait a minute)
(This'll just take a little time)
(Time out!)
Time is tickin' away, time is tickin'
(Tick tock!)
Time is tickin' away, time is tickin'
Tick, tick, tick, tock, tickin'
Here we go again

Time is tickin' away, time is tickin' (tickin' on and on and on)
Time is tickin' away, time is tickin' (Now break it down)
You got a gift and you best start using it
Cause if you don't you're gonna wind up losing it
Get busy like a school boy makin' an "A"
Cause time my brother is tickin' away
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
Time is tickin' away, tick tick tickin' away
(Is this the last hurrah?)
Time is tickin', it keeps on tickin'
Time is tickin' away [6x]
Time is...
(Whoa, wait a minute...)
The Hardway lyrics - DC Talk
[chorus]
Some people gotta learn the hardway
I guess I'm the kinda guy
That has to find out for myself
I had to learn the hardway, Father
I'm on my knees and I'm crying for help
Now I've been high and I've been low
I've been some places that you will not go
I never thought there would come the day
When I wished I never would've lived this way
But I've been searching for a long, long time
I thought the devil was a friend of mine
I turned my back on everything that was true
And wasted years that belong to you
[repeat chorus]
It took so long for me to see
That I'm a victim of nature and me
Left to myself I realize
I am the maker of my own demise
But you accept me every time and again
And never mention just how selfish I've been
Why must it always take me so long to see
That I have fallen but you will forgive me?
[repeat chorus 2x]
The warning signs are like flares in the night
Still I proceed my greed is in spite of the fire
I know that's bound to burn
Why is it that I always gotta learn...
The hardway, the hardway, I had to learn the hardway
The hardway, the hardway, I had to learn the hardway
Some people gotta learn the hardway
I guess I'm the kinda guy
That has to find out for myself
I had to learn the hardway, Father
I'm on my knees and I'm crying for help
Now I've been high and I've been low
I've been some places that you will not go
I never thought there would come the day
When I wished I never would've lived this way
But I've been searching for a long, long time
I thought the devil was a friend of mine
I turned my back on everything that was true
And wasted years that belong to you
[repeat chorus]
It took so long for me to see
That I'm a victim of nature and me
Left to myself I realize
I am the maker of my own demise
But you accept me every time and again
And never mention just how selfish I've been
Why must it always take me so long to see
That I have fallen but you will forgive me?
[repeat chorus 2x]
The warning signs are like flares in the night
Still I proceed my greed is in spite of the fire
I know that's bound to burn
Why is it that I always gotta learn...
The hardway, the hardway, I had to learn the hardway
The hardway, the hardway, I had to learn the hardway
2 Honks & A Negro lyrics - DC Talk
(Wait, give 'em somethin'
Give 'em a little somethin')
(Go ahead man, break it down)
(When you really break it down)
We're just two honks, and a negro
Servin' the Lord
We're just two honks, and a negro
Singin' our song
Give 'em a little somethin')
(Go ahead man, break it down)
(When you really break it down)
We're just two honks, and a negro
Servin' the Lord
We're just two honks, and a negro
Singin' our song
Lean On Me lyrics - DC Talk
(originally by Bill Withers)
(Oldie but a goodie...)
True MC, no slack on the track
Here to tell the people that love's what we lack
In this family we gotta love like Christ
So precise in your life so take this advice
Brother to brother we need to learn to love each other
So lean on me when you're in trouble
I cast my cares on Christ 'cause He cares for me
So when you need a shoulder to cry on, just lean
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain, we all have sorrows
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long

Testimony lyrics - DC Talk
Hey, yo, yo, T. What's up man?
Why don't you tell em that story
About how you went back in the day
In the hip hop day, ya know what I'm sayin
Yeah, tell 'em that story, man
We're gonna go back to the basics
Of the hip hop scene
Just a loop and some lyrics and a mike
Ya know what I mean?
I was just a mere child in
the capital of the nation
When I heard 'Sugar Hill'
On my favorite station
I dropped all I was doin'
Took a train to the city
To douglas records and the wizz
'Rappers Delight' was the ditty
No scritty for my palitty, no pop for my cicle
And since that day, I was never ever fickle
(Ahhhh yeah, yo that was smooth T
That was smooth, that real real smooth
I like that story...)
I Don't Want It lyrics - DC Talk
(Do you copy?)
(S)-E-X is test when I'm pressed
So back up off with less of that zest
Impress this brother with a life of virtue
The innocence that's spent is gonna hurt you
Safe is the way they say to play
Then again safe ain't safe at all today
So just wait for the mate that's straight from God
Don't have (s)-e-x 'til you tie the knot
I don't want it, I don't want it, want it
I don't want it, want your (s)-e-x for now
I don't want it, I don't want it, want it
I don't want it, 'til we take the vows
Girl, it's gonna take a little time
For us to see (the truth)
That love is simply more
Than fulfilling the need for (S)-E-X
Respect is what we need to find the cure
For this disease (of lust)
And trust in God above
To shape our lives in harmony
(Do you copy?)
That's why I'm saying
I don't want it, I don't want it, want it
I don't want it, want your (s)-e-x for now
I don't want it, I don't want it, want it
I don't want it, 'til we take the vows
(Ah yeah, Red Leader, I don't think I copy that
Uh, did you say you don't want (s)-e-x for now?
I'm confused, could you clarify? Over.)
Girl, they say that it takes two
To make a thing go right (for love)
But girl, we gotta remember
There's another in our lives (in God we trust)
We must add up the cost
Before indulging in the heat (for now)
And trust that God will give us
Something better if we wait
That's why we got to say...
I don't want it, I don't want it, want it
I don't want it, want your (s)-e-x for now
I don't want it, I don't want it, want it
I don't want it, 'til we take the vows
1-900-LOVE, (S)-E-X is on the TV
Too much skin is in your vision
You gotta make the right decision
God has set His standard higher
Purity is His desire, I'm gonna choose to wait
I don't want it, I don't want it
I don't want your (s)-e-x for now
Yo, (S)-e-x is a test when I'm pressed
So back off with less of that zest
Impress this brother with a life of virtue
The innocence that's spent is gonna hurt you
Safe is the way they say to play
But then again safe ain't safe at all today
So just wait for the mate that's straight from God
Don't give it up 'til you tie the knot
I don't want it, I don't want it, want it
I don't want it, your (s)-e-x for now
I don't want it, I don't want it, want it
I don't want it, I don't want your (s)-e-x
I don't want your (s)-e-x for now
Until we take the vows
Even if they dog me out
I don't want your (s)-e-x [4x]
(Red Leader, Red Leader, I don't think I copy)
(Your (s)-e-x for now!)
(S)-E-X is test when I'm pressed
So back up off with less of that zest
Impress this brother with a life of virtue
The innocence that's spent is gonna hurt you
Safe is the way they say to play
Then again safe ain't safe at all today
So just wait for the mate that's straight from God
Don't have (s)-e-x 'til you tie the knot
I don't want it, I don't want it, want it

Word 2 The Father lyrics - DC Talk

Word 2 the Father, Word 2 the Father
Word 2 the Father, Word 2 the Father
We're here to say Word 2 the Father up in heaven
A shout out loud from me, Mike, and Kevin
Some may wonder what we're talkin' about
When Word is heard
It's like a church that shouts "Amen!"
It breaks down to approval
Those in the pews may find it unusual
We're here to get them to loosen their collars
And use this to say Word 2 the Father
[chorus]
Word, say Word 2 the Father
Above any other, say Word to the Father
Pump, pump, pump, pump it up!
Word, say Word 2 the Father
Above any other, say Word to the Father
Pump, pump, pump, pump it up!
Once again we're here to drop some science
Standin' up tall in the land of giants
Steadily keepin' our message intact
And the truth is, it's a matter of fact
That this goes out to the One we look to
Hopin' that the message in our jam would hook you
Up in a hurry so that you could be locked in
This is a bond that you oughtta take stock in
This is a shout out to heaven from Toby, Mike and Kevin
Straight up propers to the Papa
And can't nobody stop us
Cause we'll do this, like Brutus
We told you we ain't new to this
So jump on it like a hornet
And we got no other word than...
[repeat chorus]
When dc Talks, He Works like this
I Luv Rap Music--Can I Get a Witness?
He's doin Nu Thangs so the Children Can Live
Without the Things of This World that only He can give
We need to Talk it Out, stop Spinnin' Around
So let's Take It To the Lord if we're Heavenbound
Ya see Time is tickin' away so we gotta come harder
We're tearin' down Walls with a Word 2 the Father
God is always workin', workin', hallelujah
God is always workin', workin', hallelujah
Word, say Word 2 the Father
Above any other, say Word to the Father [4x]
Word 2 the Father, Word 2 the Father up above
Word 2 the Father, Word 2 the Father up above
I give my life to you
In everything I do
These words I sing to you
This love I know will never end

Jesus Is Just Alright (Reprise) lyrics - DC Talk
Jesus, He is my friend
And I say, Jesus, He is my friend, yes He is
He took me by the hand
Led me far from this land
Jesus, He is my friend
And I say, Jesus, He is my friend, yes He is
He took me by the hand
Led me far from this land
Jesus, He is my friend

When I talk, I talk about the Lord
You can be sure that you can't afford
To miss a lyric, a rhyming line
You know, they got meaning, they're right on time
Totally true and to the last letter
If it's Christian it ought to better
Omit a bit, it should be the best
If it's of the King, you know it's blessed
[repeat chorus]
D is for decent, I mean what I say
But obscene, I don't play that way
C is for Christ, to the I-A-N
That's right y'all, I am born again
That's my tool, my gift to use
R-A-P to spread the news of God
So you know the part now
Now tell the world what's on your heart
[repeat chorus]

He Works lyrics - DC Talk
Well I'm a Christian, and you know that's true
But sometimes things are lookin' blue
Because, I lose sight, and I fall back
I start chillin' to the wrong kinda rap
Suddenly I look to see where I am
I call upon the Lord to give me a hand
My nature is sin, my flesh corrupt, y'all
But, thank God, things are lookin' up, cause
He works
He's workin' on my walk
And I know He works
He's workin' on my talk
And, my God, He works
He's workin' in my life
And I said, He works
And we will get it right
In school Monday mornin' at 8 A.M.
First period and I'm stuck with gym
Get dressed in the locker room and head out the door
Not quite feelin' like I've felt before
My boys grab my arm and pull me aside
"Yo T," (Yo, what?), "it's time ta get high"
I thought for a second, didn't utter a word
Looked 'em in the eyes, said haven't ya heard
About a change in my life, now I'm free
Christ took time on a brother like me
I turned, took a step, as I walked away
I just smiled and couldn't help but say
He works
He's workin' on my walk
And I know He works
He's workin' on my talk
And, my God, He works
He's workin' in my life
And I said, He works
And we will get it right
God is always workin'
God is always workin'
Now ya know what I'm sayin when I tell it like this
Some brothers might ill, in the form of a dis
But I know one thing that is guaranteed
Through Christ, I can do anything
For Him to work in ya life, ya gotta be on track
Commit ya heart, then live like that
I guess it does take two to make a thing go right
But the two that I'm talkin' of is you and Christ
He works
He's workin' on my walk
And I know He works
He's workin' on my talk
And, my God, He works
He's workin' in my life
And I said, He works
And we will get it right
He's workin' on my walk
And I know He works

I Luv Rap Music lyrics - DC Talk
(Some people out there givin' rap a bad name
Well I'm here to let you know, we ain't down with that)
Rap music, the sound of the times
Ya sorta talk lyrics to rhythm and rhyme
And then deliver in various ways
You know, some sorta preach, and some sorta play
Nevertheless, there's a common ground (word!)
Ya know the def hip hop sound
Hyped up bass with a tiny snare
The subwoofer makes ya neighbor stare
But still
[interlude]
I luv rap music
I always have, and I always will
Now rap started as the voice of the street
A sorta politics to a ghetto beat
Then rappers started braggin' all about their gold
And the girlies, and the beepers
And the big, black Olds-mobile
In '83, the beatbox hit
Makin' funky drum sounds from out ya lips
But takin' on nu forms, rap has moved from the block
Now some mix it with soul and some mix it with rock
Ya know
[chorus]
I luv rap music
I always have, and I always will
There ain't no other kinda music in all the world
That makes me feel quite as chill
I luv rap music
Ya know, it's sittin' on the top of my list
So if ya wanna hang with me, ya better believe
We'll be jammin' to a hip hop mix
Concert time in my part of the town
Ya know, I brought my mom cause I knew she was down
She was flat groovin', but couldn't understand
How they makin' music when there ain't no band
And then she cried, "James," everybody stared
She heard a James Brown sample and thought he was there
She got home, shook her head and said,
"Kids these years"
But then again, we think the Beatles were weird
I luv rap music
I luv rap music
[repeat chorus]
Today some rappers boast, some are makin' me ill
And those obscene lyrics are overkill
But I started M.C.in' way back in the day
And since then there's been a serious change
Ya know, I asked Christ to come into my heart
And He gave me a brand new start
And on top a dat, He cold gave me my dreams
Doin' hip hop music with a Christian theme
Ya know
[repeat chorus]
I luv rap music
I luv rap music
I luv rap music
I luv rap music
Well I'm here to let you know, we ain't down with that)
Rap music, the sound of the times
Ya sorta talk lyrics to rhythm and rhyme
And then deliver in various ways
You know, some sorta preach, and some sorta play
Nevertheless, there's a common ground (word!)
Ya know the def hip hop sound
Hyped up bass with a tiny snare
The subwoofer makes ya neighbor stare
But still

No More lyrics - DC Talk
(DCT in effect!)
Now you were born right into a world of sin
Short of God, the Lord of all men
From the jump on the sixth day
A breath of life embarked a nu way
All they could want and so much more
Satan made a move to settle the score
Threw out a bait that still don't miss
A human want whatcha cannot have fix
[chorus]
No more givin' in
No more givin' in ta this thing we call sin
I'm sayin'
No more givin' in
No more givin' in ta sin
The fall of man cold lit the spark
And offspring gotta deal with a heart
Full of sin, all guilty at birth
Fight it like a habit for all you're worth
Until you find thatcha cannot stand
Super-natch defeats a mere man
But there's a way to get ahead of the sin game
Beat it down in the power of God's name
[repeat chorus]
[vamp]
This givin' in's gotta come to an end
Through Christ, we can say no ta sin
More of God, much less of me
Is the key thought to a victory
But it can't be done with an unsure vow
And you'll fail til ya choose to bow your head
But when ya finally do
You'll find the words of God to be true
[repeat chorus 2x]
Word up people, we ain't about sin no more
As a matter of fact,
We cold boycottin' sin right off the face of this Earth
Yo K-Max, you down with that?
(I'm steppin' to that!)
Yo T, you got my back on this boycott sin thang?
(Ya know it, holmes!)
Word up sin, you are history!
[repeat chorus]
