When DC Talks lyrics - DC Talk
(It's time ta jam!)
[chorus]
When DC talks
When DC talks
When DC talks
When DC talks
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
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
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]

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]
Now you were born right into a world of sin

Nu Thang lyrics - DC Talk
[intro]
Ya know He's doin' it
God is doin' a nu thang
Ya know He's doin' it
God is doin' a nu thang
Ya know He's doin' it
God is doin' a nu thang
Ya know He's doin' it
God is doin' a nu thang
My God is doin' a brand nu thang
But, since time began, He remains the same
Faithful, forever to His word
And solid, a cornerstone unstirred
But, look down through the ages and you will find
God doesn't change, but He knows the time
From harp to piano, and song to rap
Ya know, God's wit us, so we can not lack and so
[chorus]
God is doin' a nu thang
In our lives so...
We're doin' a nu thang
Through Jesus Christ
God is doin' a nu thang
Through our music
We're doin' a nu thang
So He can use it
God's usin' this music and we're comin' strong
DC Talkin', often singin' a song
To make ya think twice 'bout the way thatcha live
And, let ya know Christ is the one that'll give
Peace in ya heart, a nu start
Call on the Lord, and he'll do His part
A brand nu thang to ya raggedy walk
He might just match it up to that big ol' talk
[repeat chorus]
[bridge-repeat intro]
Like an MC, I'm here to boast
I rap about Christ, yo here's a dose
So loud and proud of the God I serve
Try to say He ain't wit it...huh, ya got nerve
Christ is the reason for dc Talk
He's the focus of our daily walk, y'all
Without him, we ain't nothin' but names
But through God, we're doin' brand nu thangs

God is doin' a nu thang

Things Of This World lyrics - DC Talk
70 years is all we got
To accumulate goods that seem to mean a lot
For the first 20 years, you're off to school
Learnin' principles and learnin' the tools
To make lots of money, the ultimate goal
Gain the whole world and yet lose ya soul
Huh, humanism is on a roll
20 gets the the knowledge, 30 years to apply
and just 20 years left for askin' why
I didn't realize what it was all about
And, was there any use in this rigorous route because
[chorus]
Things of this world are passin' away
Here tomorrow, but they're sure not here to stay
Things of this world are passin' away
So lay your treasure above
And start to live for Him today
All done for self in this world will pass
And all done for Christ in this world will last
Sounds like a simple task...
But everyday life seems to get in the way
No time to serve, barely time to pray
Our focal points lost and we get tossed
In the wind, cold facing the cost
Of fallin' without stallin' or even callin' the Lord
While you were blackballin'
He was waitin' for you to see the light
And find for yourself, these things are trite
[repeat chorus]
[vamp]
Our mind transforms a want to a need
A simple process that we call greed
Ya say ya like to have money, well I do too
The problem starts when the money has you
Workin' overtime to keep up with the pace
A lifestyle that you want to embrace
But it's 2 steps from where your needs are met
You're keepin' up with the Joneses, but your all in debt
Which will lead to stress, not meeting the bills
While ya sportin' a Benz with all the thrills
The domino effect's gotcha life in check
A temporary stitch and ya livin' a wreck
[repeat chorus 2x]
Don't lay up your treasures upon this Earth
They'll soon pass away
And all return to dirt [4x]
Things of this world are passin' away
Here tomorrow, but they're sure not here to stay
Things of this world, things of this world
The things, the things, the things of this world
Don't lay up your treasures upon this Earth
They'll soon pass away
And all return to dirt [2x]
To accumulate goods that seem to mean a lot
For the first 20 years, you're off to school
Learnin' principles and learnin' the tools

Walls lyrics - DC Talk
Man against man just ain't the plan
It's time for God's people to take a stand
I mean brother to brother, black to white
Stand up to the problem and begin to fight
Not against each other, you're wastin' time
Yo, I'm referring to a battle of minds
Not through debate or writin' on the walls
This kinda action is delayin' the cause
An eye for an eye, fight fire with fire
It's our turn to take it one step higher
Gotta live by example, show brotherly love
We're together on Earth, we'll be together above
So we're
[chorus]
Tearin' down the walls
Of segregation
Unity abroad
New revelation
Tearin' down the walls
Of segregation
Unity abroad
In every nation
To label churches by color ain't nothin' but wrong
We're in the same crew, we're singin' one song
If you're in God's army, that makes you my kin
Yo, our common bond is the Father of men
Of all attributes that we should possess
Love is in the Word ahead of all the rest
No negotiation to love a certain nation
All means all, with no discrimination
Boy, we can set a precedence the world can cop
Yo, fellow believer, now's the time to stop
Racism within our lines
Today is the time for this love to shine
So we're
[repeat chorus]
[vamp]
Judge a man by His heart, not color of skin
God views a man from what's held within
And, you're called one of His, so you gotta know
To be Christ-like is the way that you go
And my brothers and sisters in one accord
Yo, we're the sheep, and the Shepherd's the Lord
So whether black sheep, white sheep, or even swirl
God watches over all the sheep of the world
So tell me whassup when ya know the command
The Word's bold, "Love your fellow man!"
And treat Him like you would treat yourself
Pull brotherly love off ya dusty shelf
[repeat chorus 3x]
It's time for God's people to take a stand
I mean brother to brother, black to white
Stand up to the problem and begin to fight

Talk It Out lyrics - DC Talk
T, jumpin' on the m-i-c to
Promote talk in the family
You, say parents don't understand
Yo, that's ill, I know they can
But, you're feelings they cannot read
And, communication is the key
See, this structure is under attack, Jack
And all see it from white ta black
We got problems like never before
That won't fade by lockin' your door
Or runnin' away, so hear what I say
Yo, talk is the only way
[chorus]
Talk it out
Talk it out
Talk things out, begin to pray, ya'll
This unit is the only way
Created by God, the Father of all
Who gave each entity a different call
Add it all together to build a team
One voice, one unit, a Christian theme
But this can't happen if ya shut the door
Block things out and begin to ignore
Verbal interaction is atop the list
The only antidote to slashing a wrist
Talk things out with the Father above
Boy, communicate with the ones ya love
[repeat chorus]
[bridge]
You say you've got problems
Thinkin' they don't recognize
Let communication solve them
God will open up their eyes
[break]
You gotta talk, talk it out
Cause dc Talk is all about, well
This thing called a name
To ya family, it ain't no game
So just look, look to the hook
Of a song based on the Good Book, y'all
Of life, ya know what I'm sayin'
DCT and we ain't playin'
[repeat chorus 2x]
Talk it out
All you gotta do is talk it out
Talk it straight up with your family [4x]
Promote talk in the family
You, say parents don't understand
Yo, that's ill, I know they can
But, you're feelings they cannot read
And, communication is the key
See, this structure is under attack, Jack
And all see it from white ta black
We got problems like never before
That won't fade by lockin' your door
Or runnin' away, so hear what I say

This thing called a name
To ya family, it ain't no game
So just look, look to the hook
Of a song based on the Good Book, y'all
Of life, ya know what I'm sayin'
DCT and we ain't playin'
[repeat chorus 2x]
Talk it out
All you gotta do is talk it out
Talk it straight up with your family [4x]
Take It To The Lord lyrics - DC Talk
[intro]
Now when you're down and feelin' out
I know ya take it to the Lord
But those times when ya got the clout
Do you take it to the Lord?
When you're outta cash and ya rent is due
I know ya take it to the Lord
But when you're livin' large and ya got the juice
Do ya take it to the mighty Lord?
[chorus]
Take it to the Lord
Who ya take it to?
Take it to the Lord y'all
Ya gotta take it to the Lord
Take it to the Lord
Who ya take it to?
Take it to the Lord y'all
Ya gotta take it to the mighty Lord
Ya tend to take it ta God when ya losin' grip
Ya got Christ in ya heart, but ya livin' a trip
I mean, when ya got trouble, ya call His name
But, everybody prays when it comes ta pain
Or, when you're feelin' down and ya need a burst
Say a short prayer, read a Bible verse
And then expect my Father to honor that
Yo, the life thatcha livin' is straight up wack
Ya gotta
[repeat chorus]
Now this song ain't to dis your name
And it sure ain't to get me fame
I just gotta explain that it ain't no game
Call Him when ya need Him, then forget the Name
Yo, that's lame, and I will proclaim
Stop usin' God for your personal gain
Cause in the end, you'll be left ta hang, boy
Check the Word, it'll tell ya the same
[repeat chorus]
Ya need to take it ta God on the regular tip
When things go right, it seems that ya forget
That He wants your attention, He wants ya praise
Unsituational, regardless of days
It's a 24-7 type-a-sich at hand
Based upon grace, God's love for man
And He's ready and waitin', arms open wide
So take it ta God, cause He's on ya side
Ya gotta
[repeat chorus 2x]
When you're down and feelin' out
Who ya take it to?
Even when you've got the clout ya need to
Take it to the Lord
When you're out of cash, and your rent is due
Who ya take it to?
When you're livin' large and you've got the juice
Do you take it to the mighty Lord?
Who ya take it to, who ya take it to, who ya take it to?

Children Can Live (Without It) lyrics - DC Talk
I don't want another country
I want ta recognize intent
Of our forefathers when they wrote
Precisely what they meant
Taken on the form of Christian
But the power is denied
In God we trust only when we lust
For the apple of our eye
One nation under God
With morals out of proportion
An end result is murder
Under legalized abortion
Children can live without it
Who's gonna take it away?
Children can live without it
Maybe we'll learn someday
Oh, that we'll learn, I pray
A miracle of God
Now looked on as a choice
It's time for all His children
To unify a voice
With influence in our numbers
And power in out prayer
We must defend the children
And fight for what is fair
What appears to be an upset
Can change its ugly course
And we can do it all
Through Jesus Christ our Lord
Children can live without it
Who's gonna take it away?
Children can live without it
Maybe we'll learn someday
Oh, that we'll learn, I pray
O, they can fight, but they cannot win
They can scream, but none will hear them
Don't ya know that our conscience will die
If we take away the freedom to survive?
Children can live without it
Who's gonna take it away?
Children can live without it
Maybe we'll learn someday
Oh, that we'll learn, I pray
Children can live without it
Who's gonna take it away?
Children can live without it
Maybe we'll learn someday
Oh, that we'll learn, I pray
Children can live without it
Who's gonna take it away?
Children can live without it
Maybe we'll learn someday
Oh, that we'll learn, I pray
I want ta recognize intent
Of our forefathers when they wrote
Precisely what they meant
Taken on the form of Christian
But the power is denied
In God we trust only when we lust
For the apple of our eye
One nation under God
With morals out of proportion
An end result is murder
Under legalized abortion
Children can live without it
Who's gonna take it away?
Children can live without it
Maybe we'll learn someday
Oh, that we'll learn, I pray
A miracle of God
Now looked on as a choice

To unify a voice

We must defend the children
And fight for what is fair

And we can do it all
Through Jesus Christ our Lord

Oh, that we'll learn, I pray

Can I Get A Witness lyrics - DC Talk
I rap for Christ, no crossin' the line
I don't water down lyrics or forget the spine
I gotta come bold, cause I've been sold
On the Word that'll never grow old
Ya see, I was raised in a Godly home
And I was taught as a child who is on the throne
I learned to have faith and I learned to stand
Up for the Father, who is in command
Ya know, back in the day, I was taught to pray
Ya see, a livin' God would have it no other way
I wanna know who's down with what I say
Yo fellas, there's no time to play, so get busy
Can I get a witness
Does anyone agree?
Can I get a witness
To stand for their belief?
Can I get a witness
To carry on the torch?
Bring honor to the Father
Give glory to the Lord
Who's in the army, who's servin' the King?
Callin' all brothers to the center ring
We're in one accord, we're servin' the Lord
Eternal life is our reward
We gotta come together and build morale
Yo, what are ya waitin' for, the time is now
I gotta ask y'all, do I stand alone?
I need a second motion on the microphone
Can I get a witness to what you've heard
I need a posse to give me da word (word!)
Jump on my back, let's kill the hype, boys
I need a witness for Jesus Christ
Can I get a witness
Does anyone agree?
Can I get a witness
To stand for their belief?
Can I get a witness
To carry on the torch?
Bring honor to the Father
Give glory to the Lord
Don't stand for me or for dc Talk
Til ya know in your heart that we ain't the bulk
We're just three young brothers
Who were willin' to serve
Took a stand, threw the devil a curve
By usin' our talent for the almighty Lord
When He gave us a gift, He gave us a chore
Called the Great Commission, it's like fishin'
But souls are the goal of this Christian mission
Claim to be willin', yo, let it be known
Don't hide ya faith like a dog on a bone
We need a soldier who's got it in check
And a fit witness who's full in effect
Can I get a witness
Does anyone agree?
Can I get a witness
To stand for their belief?
Can I get a witness
To carry on the torch?
Bring honor to the Father
Give glory to the Lord
Can I get a witness

Servin' your Lord and Savior
Yo, He's askin' you now, "Can I get a witness?"
If y'all know what's up with that
If you down with this movement

I need somebody to get my back out there
Because Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior
Cold did it for us

Heavenbound lyrics - DC Talk
Heavenbound
Don't you know I'm heavenbound
Heavenbound
Reachin' for that higher ground
Heavenbound
Don't you know I'm heavenbound
Heavenbound
Reachin' for that higher ground
Cold rappin' for the King with a sting in my voice
Not condemnin' men or women, but relayin' a choice
Higher groud is the sound that I'm talkin of
Opportunity knocks through a different love
Not love like we know it, like ya love your girl
It's a love from above not of this world
It's kinda profound, a trump will sound
And all God's children are heavenbound
Heavenbound
Don't you know I'm heavenbound
Heavenbound
Reachin' for that higher ground
Heavenbound
Don't you know I'm heavenbound
Heavenbound
Reachin' for that higher ground
Jump on the job and live for Him
Do you lie satisfied in a state of sin
Listen while I christen a serious sound
Rap cold revin' cause I'm heavenbound
Serious lyrics don't disregard
No treason, gotta reason that I rap so hard
Don't look down or stand around
But keep on reachin' for higher ground
Heavenbound
Don't you know I'm heavenbound

Call us the heavenbound crew and you can be too
If you only knew what He did for you
Christ died, don't ya see to set us free
Look in the Word unblurred, you can find the key
Gotta choice to be voiced, receive Him or not
Like right or left, cold on the spot
It seems kinda easy when ya break it down
As for me and my boys, we're heavenbound
If you want eternal life
Choose my friend, He's Jesus Christ
Only He can set you free
From your sin and misery
God has promised us a home in glory
Trust in Him
The trump will sound
And all God's children are heavenbound

Gah Ta Be lyrics - DC Talk
Now you can have all the fun and money man can have
Sport a Porche or carry Gucci bags
You can gear in gold from your chest to your chin
But if you don't know the Savior, you'll never get in
The gates of hell shall prevail on your soul
If makin' money, shakin' honeys is your lifelong goal
There's a plan laid before you that can change the above
It can fit any man like a hand in a glove
There's only one way to heaven and that won't change
Cause my almighty Father's not respectful of names
So be saved
Saved, you gah ta be saved
Saved, you gah ta be saved
Saved, you gah ta be saved
Saved, you gah ta be saved
I once knew a politician upon Capitol Hill
Attended all the right parties cause he voted on bills
He had big friends, he drove a Benz
But a life full of strife cause he was livin' in sin
He said he wasn't satisfied with life as it was
Everything he'd always wanted simply wasn't enough
When he asked me why so happy, I had to confess
I got Christ in my life, I've been more than blessed
You see there's nothin' wrong with finer things in life
But an eternity in heaven ain't displayin' a price
So be saved
Saved, you gah ta be saved
Saved, you gah ta be saved
Saved, you gah ta be saved
Saved, you gah ta be saved
You gotta know it and believe it
You gotta show it and receive it
Saved, you gah ta be saved
Saved, you gah ta be saved
Saved, you gah ta be saved
Saved, you gah ta be saved
From a brother to another, I'm not doggin' the bucks
Cause a bum without the Father is a bum outta luck
No mention of exemption, no requirements waived
To enter through the gates ya gotta gotta be saved
Don't make it complex, straight up text
No matter what race, creed, color, or sex
Accept Him, don't reject Him, heed the call of the Christ
He's at your heart's door knockin', He awaits a reply
This life is temporary, lay your treasures above
Eternal life is offered through His infinite love
Be saved
Saved, you gah ta be saved
Saved, you gah ta be saved
Saved, you gah ta be saved
Saved, you gah ta be saved
Sport a Porche or carry Gucci bags
You can gear in gold from your chest to your chin

Final Days lyrics - DC Talk
Well I walk through this world livin' day to day
I see the people, hear what they have to say
Take a look at the ethics, morals, and goals
Makin' gods outta men that rock 'n roll
Like Sodom and Gomorrah, this world will fall
A total destruction, destiny of all
Who have mocked the name of Jesus, the Savior and Lord
In the battle of Armageddon and a two-edged sword
Satan in a day he will never forget
When the King hurls him into a bottomless pit
So keep your eyes on the Lord, don't follow human ways
Cause it's written in the Word, these are the final days
Final days
Change your ways
Final days
The final days is what my song's about
Words so intense I might have to shout
Some might play hard and say I'm wack
But I'm talkin' about truth not egomaniac
And as long as they listen, they won't be dissin'
Cause rappin' final days is a serious mission
Just so they learn, I will stand stern
I hope my words make ya start to churn
I'm concerned with the life that you're livin' now
Your's ego's so bad that ya can't even bow
To the Master of all, Creator of creation
I'm talkin' bout God no misinterpretation
Rappin' hard for the One who deserves the best
Speakin' rhymes that will try and put your heart to test
Don't stop and stare me down with that b-boy haze
Get busy, cause these are the final days
Final days
Change your ways
Final days
The words of my rap are not what you think
But so secure I suggest you take 'em to the bank
Or better yet take these words to heart
Don't wait until tomorrow, now's the time to start
I'm not askin' for your money or rappin' for a fee
Think upon the words is my only plea
Cause this song's about to end, your time is runnin' thin
And now that my time is up, it's time for you to begin
To do this job is my only request
A basic rap exam puts MC's to test
Spread these words like a fire ablaze
Cause I'm tellin' ya we're livin' in the final days
Final days
Change your ways
Final days
I see the people, hear what they have to say
Take a look at the ethics, morals, and goals
Makin' gods outta men that rock 'n roll
Like Sodom and Gomorrah, this world will fall
A total destruction, destiny of all
Who have mocked the name of Jesus, the Savior and Lord
In the battle of Armageddon and a two-edged sword

When the King hurls him into a bottomless pit
So keep your eyes on the Lord, don't follow human ways

The King (Allelujah) lyrics - DC Talk
John the Baptist prophesied a Messiah will rise
He'll be tried, crucified, ascend in the skies
Years later in the city of Dave
A miracle of God gave a virgin a babe
Kings came from afar, followed a star
To worship baby Jesus who was born in a barn
He brings peace on Earth, His mercy is mild
God and sinners reconciled through the birth of a child
It's the story of my Savior, my reason to sing
Allelujah, let it move ya, Christ is King
[chorus]
Allelujah
Christ is King
Allelujah
Let the praises ring
Allelujah
He stood before Pilot an innocent man
They cried "crucify," He supplied demand
He was mocked, spit upon, His clothes were torn
Royalty was represented with a crown of thorns
They placed Him in a robe, they gave Him a staff
As they gambled for His garments Roman soldiers laughed
Upon Golgotha they crucified Christ
Sent from above to cold pay your price
On His command opposition was through
But Christ said "Forgive them, they know not what they do"
[repeat chorus]
Now Mary ran toward the tomb of her Messiah and Lord
Shocked to find the rock removed that served as a door
She took one step inside, filled with fright
She thought a thief must have stole his body late in the night
As she fell to the ground she began to weep
Heard a voice and turned to hear the Savior speak
Christ the Messiah risen up from the dead
"He's alive, she cried, like the prophecy read
It's the story of my Savior, my reason to sing
Allelujah, Christ is King
[repeat chorus]
He'll be tried, crucified, ascend in the skies
Years later in the city of Dave
A miracle of God gave a virgin a babe
Kings came from afar, followed a star
To worship baby Jesus who was born in a barn
He brings peace on Earth, His mercy is mild
God and sinners reconciled through the birth of a child
It's the story of my Savior, my reason to sing
Allelujah, let it move ya, Christ is King
[chorus]
Allelujah
Christ is King
Allelujah
Let the praises ring
Allelujah
He stood before Pilot an innocent man
They cried "crucify," He supplied demand
He was mocked, spit upon, His clothes were torn
Royalty was represented with a crown of thorns
They placed Him in a robe, they gave Him a staff
As they gambled for His garments Roman soldiers laughed
Upon Golgotha they crucified Christ
Sent from above to cold pay your price
On His command opposition was through
But Christ said "Forgive them, they know not what they do"
[repeat chorus]
Now Mary ran toward the tomb of her Messiah and Lord
Shocked to find the rock removed that served as a door
She took one step inside, filled with fright
She thought a thief must have stole his body late in the night
As she fell to the ground she began to weep
Heard a voice and turned to hear the Savior speak
Christ the Messiah risen up from the dead
"He's alive, she cried, like the prophecy read
It's the story of my Savior, my reason to sing
Allelujah, Christ is King
[repeat chorus]
Spinnin' Round lyrics - DC Talk
Round, round, you're spinnin' round
Your life goes round and round
I got a reason to rap cause my God is King
Just like a gospel singer's got a reason to sing
And like young David used to play his harp
Presenting praise and worship in the form of an art
I selected a direction, I'm going one way
I got a motive and a reason to say what I say
Telling you about a friend, you need to know Him
Christ the Messiah is the Savior of men
I presented my purpose, now present to me yours
To boast and to brag the most is no chore
I don't mean to sound negative, ain't puttin' ya down
But it appears kinda clear that you're just spinnin' around
[chorus]
Round, round, a-ra-a round, round
You're spinnin' round
Round, round, a-ra-a round, round
On your way down
Round, round, a-ra-a round, round
You're spinnin' round
Round, round, a-ra-a round, round
Christ must be found
Spin, then do it again
But no real direction is where you've been
You're spinnin' like a top or a merry-go-round
Your life song is like my break sound
Your rap is ego-filled, the milk has been spilled
And for this piece of advice, you won't be billed
But take heed to this info, like it came from ya kin folk
Remem' it ain't a whim but you will hear it again
Yo, listen kinda a close, you might need a dose
Of Decent Christian rap with DC Talk as your host
I'm not on the mic to boast but I submit a toast
Praise the Lord y'all sings a heavenly host
You're spinnin'
[repeat chorus]
Stop grinnin' while you're spinnin' cause you're messin' up
You know I rap for the King who could be fillin' your cup
Enlightening lyrics can lengthen your life
Listen close, I don't boast, but illuminate Christ
Don't submit my name to fame, I don't claim to be down
Cause you'll see me going up when the trumpet sounds
Call it heavenbound while you're spinnin' round
I'm saved, hear me rave, I'll be wearing' a crown
Cause I'm in the Lord's army while satan's out to charm me
He won't harm me or disarm me, I know sin is gonna scar me
So I resist temptation, it comes in variation
Condemnation, devastation, you read in Revelation
God is love like a dove? His wrath will be keen!
What I mean is unseen, it won't be green
Crushin' satan, perpetratin' adversaries and foe
The Holy Word of God says they all gotta go
You're spinnin'
[repeat chorus]
What's up, this is dc Talk
This song goes out to all you people
That have no direction in life
You people that are spinnin' round
Well I got news, God has a plan for your life,
He's just waitin' for you to ask Him for the map
So don't take it light
Your life goes round and round
I got a reason to rap cause my God is King
Just like a gospel singer's got a reason to sing
And like young David used to play his harp
Presenting praise and worship in the form of an art
I selected a direction, I'm going one way
I got a motive and a reason to say what I say

Round, round, a-ra-a round, round
You're spinnin' round
Round, round, a-ra-a round, round
On your way down
Round, round, a-ra-a round, round
You're spinnin' round
Round, round, a-ra-a round, round
Christ must be found

Voices Praise Him lyrics - DC Talk
[chorus]
Priase Him
Praise Him
Voices raisin'
Priase Him
Praise Him
Voices raisin'
Praise Him, my friend, cause He sits on high
He's the Lord God almighty so don't ask why
Just worship Him, adore Him, and sing this praise
Ignite it, don't fight it, light it, leave it ablaze
Let it burn in your heart, stir in your soul
Proclaim honor to the Father as your lifelong goal
So sing allelujah and let the Word ring
Praise Him, voices raise Him as we worship the King
[repeat chorus]
When we praise, we raise the mighty name of the King
We're born again, y'all, we got a song to sing
He died, He's our guide, and we call Him Christ
A man, a hill, a cross and a price
The King of Kings, Rose of Sharon, the Savior of men
He's the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and End
The sure Lord of Lords, the Creator on high
Praise Him, voices raisin' as it rings in the sky
[repeat chorus]
Praise, let's raise the roof tonight
We're children of the Lord, we're soldiers of light
Rejoice, let's voice His name on high
For He has given us all the gift of life
[bridge]
Let everything that has breath
Praise Him
Praise Him
In one accord unto the Lord
Praise Him
Allelu, do the do and begin to rejoice
Sing aloud, y'all, make a joyful noise
Young David used to rave it when he played on his harp
He wrote the Psalms, a book of songs from His heart
Two thousand years later still a craze to praise
Not a phase, stand amazed at the infinate blaze
It's eternal, that's a fact, and I use rap
To bring glory mandatory cause the King will be back
[repeat chorus]
Priase Him
Praise Him
Voices raisin'
Priase Him
Praise Him
Voices raisin'
Praise Him, my friend, cause He sits on high
He's the Lord God almighty so don't ask why

Let it burn in your heart, stir in your soul
Proclaim honor to the Father as your lifelong goal

Time Ta Jam lyrics - DC Talk
I'm DC Talk and I'd like to say
I rock the mic in a kickin' way
With the def track from Valet Beat
I know it's hard to keep from movin' your feet
So hyper fundi don't be dismayed
Check out the lyrics when the record is played
Not a borderline tune but I got a case
Of puttin' God's Word right up in your face
You see D's for Decent, and you will agree
Quite explicit yet rated G
Because I rhyme hard, and I speak facts
And there's no need to curse when I bust a rap
And C for Christian, 'cause that's what I am
Not a soft sissy, I know how to jam
Pack a party for the Father above
Intense rhymes tell of ultimate love
Talk is for the lyrics, they're full of Spirit
If you are athiestic, you'd better fear it
They're from the Word, you ain't heard
It's my decision that your vision is blurred
So come on rap fans, clap your hands
Take a stand for the Lamb, it's Time Ta Jam
And remember... keep praisin' the Lord, keep servin' the Lord
I rock the mic in a kickin' way
With the def track from Valet Beat
I know it's hard to keep from movin' your feet
So hyper fundi don't be dismayed
Check out the lyrics when the record is played
Not a borderline tune but I got a case
Of puttin' God's Word right up in your face
You see D's for Decent, and you will agree
Quite explicit yet rated G
Because I rhyme hard, and I speak facts
And there's no need to curse when I bust a rap
And C for Christian, 'cause that's what I am
Not a soft sissy, I know how to jam
Pack a party for the Father above
Intense rhymes tell of ultimate love
Talk is for the lyrics, they're full of Spirit
If you are athiestic, you'd better fear it
They're from the Word, you ain't heard
It's my decision that your vision is blurred
So come on rap fans, clap your hands
Take a stand for the Lamb, it's Time Ta Jam
And remember... keep praisin' the Lord, keep servin' the Lord
He Loves Me lyrics - DC Talk
Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
All of us to Him belong
We are so weak, but our God, He is strong
As I sit and ponder I begin to wonder why
God would send His only son upon this earth to die
The conviction of my heart brings a tear to my eye
And keep reality far from me, I just want to hide
Christ endured such cruelty for a sinner like me
He paid the price when He died for me on Calvary's tree
I once was blind, but now my eyes clearly see
The sacrifice Christ became for you and me
Because Jesus loves me, this I know
For the Word of God tells me so
All of us to Him belong, it's true
That we are weak, yet He is strong
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
For the Bible tells me so
He will stand by like no other man
Two sets of footprints within the sand
But at times looking back one is all I see
These are the days that He carried me
He has proven His love time and again
Pulled me from the fire, a result of my sin
Compare where I am now to where I might have been
Get on my knees just to praise Him again and again
Thank you for loving me, it's undeserved
It doesn't make sense, I mean the picture is blurred
I'm the one that owes the debt, but you paid my price
Now Jesus Christ, I owe you my life
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
For the Bible tells me so
Now that I can see it, will the life I lead change
It's kinda strange we make decisions
When they're out of our range
But in day to day living, we tend to give up
On commitments that were made before life got tough
With compromise in our eyes and pressure from peers
We reign on a decision that we once held so dear
But let's try keep sight of this vision foreseen
Hold tight day and night beyond the point of a dream
Because Jesus loves me, this I know
For the Word of God it tells me so
Everyone of us to Him belong, it's true
We are so weak, yet He is so strong
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
For the Bible tells me so
For the Bible tells me so
All of us to Him belong
We are so weak, but our God, He is strong
As I sit and ponder I begin to wonder why
God would send His only son upon this earth to die
The conviction of my heart brings a tear to my eye
And keep reality far from me, I just want to hide
Christ endured such cruelty for a sinner like me
He paid the price when He died for me on Calvary's tree
I once was blind, but now my eyes clearly see
The sacrifice Christ became for you and me
Because Jesus loves me, this I know
