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

[repeat chorus]

God is doin' a nu thang
We're doin' a nu thang [5x]

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]

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]

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]

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?
DC in the house
Who ya take it to, who ya take it to, who ya take it to?
Take it to the Lord
Who ya take it to, who ya take it to, who ya take it to?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
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

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
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

I gotta say a few
Can I get a witness?
I'm talkin' about a witness for Jesus Christ
Y'all know what I'm sayin'?
It's time to get busy people
It's time to get busy out there
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 some help
I need somebody to get my back out there
Because Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior
Cold did it for us
Now it's our turn to return this favor
And cold do it for Him
Ya know what I'm sayin'?

"DC Talk" (1989)

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
Heavenbound
Reachin' for that higher ground
Heavenbound
Don't you know I'm heavenbound
Heavenbound
Reachin' for that higher ground

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

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

Don't look down, stand around
Keep on reachin' for higher ground
Kinda profound, a 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

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

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]

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

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]

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

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

Help! lyrics - DC Talk

(originally by The Beatles)

Help! I need somebody
Help! Not just anybody
Help! Ya know I need someone
Help!

When I was young was so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these days are gone and I'm not so self-assured
Now I find, I've changed my mind and opened up the door

Help me if you can I'm feelin down
And I do appreciate ya bein' 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But every now and then I feel so insecure
I know that I just need ya like, I've never done before

Help me if you can I'm feelin down
And I do appreciate ya bein round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please please help me

When I was younger was so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in anyway
But now these days are gone and I'm not so self-assured
And now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the door

Help me if ya can I'm feelin down
And I do appreciate ya bein round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please please help me

Help me, help me, help me, oooooooo!

I Wish We'd All Been Ready lyrics - DC Talk

(originally by Larry Norman)

Life was filled with guns and war
And all of us got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready
Children died the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready

There's no time to change your mind
The Son has come and you've been left behind

A man and wife asleep in bed
She hears a noise and turns her head he's gone
I wish we'd all been ready
Two men walking up a hill
One disappears and one's left standing still
I wish we'd all been ready

There's no time to change your mind
The Son has come and you've been left behind

Children died the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready

There's no time to change your mind
The Son has come and you've been left behind

The Father spoke the demons died
How could you have been so blind

There's no time to change your mind
The Son has come and you've been left behind

I hope we'll all be ready you've been left behind
I hope we'll all be ready you've been left behind
I hope we'll all be ready you've been left behind

It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) lyrics - DC Talk

That's great, it starts with an earthquake,
Birds, snakes, and aeroplanes
You know I am not afraid.

Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs
Feed it like an aux feeds, grunt, no, strength, no
Ladder starts with a clattered gear found high
Wire in a fire represents a seven gauge
In a government rage

It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine

That's great, it starts with an earthquake,
Birds and snakes, and aeroplanes
Toby Mac has never, ever, ever been afraid

Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs
Feed it like an aux feeds, grunt, no, strength, no
Ladder starts with a clattered gear found high
Wire in a fire represents a seven gauge
In a government rage

Lonely Moon lyrics - DC Talk

Was a child and a newcomer to the ways of the world
Eyes ablaze with the light of high noon
Just to love and to be loved was all he wanted
By the light of the lonely moon

They taught him to capture and tame wild pathos
Sold him distractions and made every day seem the same
Caught the Holy Ghost lurking in his cellar and threw Him out
Leaving just a lonely name

Soon they took everything that he lived for
So he asked them to please take his life too
They denied him existence but they let him live
In a lonely room

He would suckle at the bosom of Mother Earth
But his experience poisons that thought
He falls prey somehow
To the silence of the deep-space dark
Of this lonely blue rock

Now his path is lit only by the light of falling stars
The embers fall to scorch and cut his face
He wants to believe in his unbelief
In a lonely place

But they buried his conscience
Near to the grave of God
Sealed his soul up in a tomb of tears
And they scattered his ashes East of Eden someplace
On a lonely breeze

Was a child and a newcomer to the ways of the world
Eyes ablaze with the light of high noon
Just to love and to be loved was all he needed
By the light of the lonely moon
By the light of the lonely moon

My Deliverer lyrics - DC Talk

Joseph took his wife and child
And they went to Africa
To escape the rage of a deadly king

There along the banks of the Nile
They listened to the song
That the captive children used to sing
They were singing

My Deliverer is coming
My Deliverer is standing by
Oh, my Deliverer is coming
My Deliverer is standing by

Through a dry and thirsty land
Water from the Kenyan heights
Pours itself out of Lake Sangra's
Broken heart, its broken heart

There in the Sahara winds
Moses heard the whole world cry
For the healing that would
Flow from God's own scars
I hear Moses singing

My Deliverer is coming
My Deliverer is standing by
Oh, my Deliverer is coming
My Deliverer is standing by

He will never break his promise
He was written it upon the sky
My Deliverer is coming
Oh, my Deliverer is standing by

He'll come 'round
He'll come 'round some day
(Just like He said He would)
He'll come 'round
He'll come 'round some day
(Just like He said He would)

I will never doubt His promise
Though I doubt my heart
Though I doubt my eyes

My Deliverer is coming
My Deliverer is standing by
Oh, my Deliverer is coming
My Deliverer is standing by

Standing by, oh He's standing by
Standing by, oh He's standing by
Standing by, oh He's standing by
Standing by, oh He's standing by
Standing by, oh He's standing by

Oh, deliver me, deliver me

My Will lyrics - DC Talk

I'm setting the stage for the things I love
And I'm now the man I once couldn't be
Nothing on earth could now ever move me
I now have the will and the strength a man needs

[chorus]
It's my will, and I'm not moving
Cause if it's Your will, then nothing can shake me
It's my will, to bow and praise You
I now have the will to praise my God

Complexity haunts me for I am two men
Entrenched in a battle that I'll never win
My discipline fails me, my knowledge it fools me
But You are my shelter, all the strength that I need

[repeat chorus]

I'm learning to give up the rights to myself
The bits and the pieces I've gathered as well
They're nothing compared to the joy that You bring me
The peace that You show me is the strength that I need

[repeat chorus]

[bridge]
We've got to be children of peace
Don't you know we've got to be children of peace

[repeat chorus & bridge simultaneously 3x]

It's Your will, It's Your will, not mine
It's Your will, It's Your will [4x]

[repeat chorus & bridge simultaneously]

Reason For The Season lyrics - DC Talk

I ain't tryin' to dog the old man in red
The white beard or the flyin' sled
Truth be known I always did enjoy
The thought of Santa bringin' all the toys
But now Rudolph, Frosty, and the gang
Christmas it wouldn't have been the same
But our minds didn't miss a line
See, this season was once defined
As a birthday for a mighty King
"Yo, Hark!" the herald angels sing
About peace and mercy all the while
Yo, on this day we were reconciled

[chorus]
There is a reason for the season
(Hey!)
Jesus is the reason
There is a reason for the season
(Hey!)
Jesus is, Jesus is the reason

He's the reason for the season and my reson to rap
Ya know He put Bethlehem on the map
When He was born of a virgin with man and God mergin'
Can't you see that the truth keeps searchin'
On and on and it never ever stops y'all
So break it down and listen as the beat drops
Have you forgotten about the One
The birthday of God's only Son?
It's the one gift some refuse to take (word!)
They soon find that they made a mistake
Because now is the time that grace abounds
And now is the time that you should be layin' a crown
The givin' and receivin's all fine and grand
I just want you to understand that

[repeat chorus]

[bridge]
Silent night
(Oh silent night)
Oh holy night
(Oh holy)
All is calm
And all is bright

Ha ha!
We're gathered in your face!

Christmas it's a festive time
So I decided to deliver a rhyme
In the mood of the season that's pleasin'
But in reality what's the reason for Christmas?
It's before your eyes
The first six letters drop the why's
Yo! C-H-R to the I-S-T
So much than just history
See, He is the gift from God the big G
And His blood (yo!) will set you free
So take the gift from the Father above
Yo! Enjoy some of this Christmas love

Ah yeah

Yo! Ho Ho! lyrics - Dc Talk

(Here we go)

Yo ho ho, I'm good to go
Hypin' on the mic cause God said so
He said, "Yo, go out and fish for men"
A genuine commission that put us in
To tell you about our Savior and Lord
So if you wonder what's up well, you're in store
For more than a happy, go-lucky tune
About Christmas and how it's coming soon
This song will tell ya how it all began
And how man (oh man) seemed to change that plan
Know this to be true in black and white
God's Word said so so you know that's right
It's Christmas time

[Chorus]
Yo! Ho! Ho! Ho! [repeat 3x]
We're good to go
[repeat 2x]

A Benz pulled up figured it was dis
So on twelve twenty-fifth give me all the gifts
I mean, each year Christmas rolls around
For mucho gifts the T was down
(From) stereo, mixers, to microphones
I caused pops to take ridiculous loans
Until a few years back I attended a play
About Christmas and it went this way:
People were illin' all across the land
It was tax season and the king had a plan
He sent all the people back to where they were born
For a census which I'm sure they adored
As we move down the line things start to get hairy
God chose Joseph and a virgin named Mary
By this time I was on the edge of my pew
But hold up I gotta break for a few

[Repeat chorus]

[Bridge]
It's Christmas time
And all the gifts I find
But true love is
Found in Jesus Christ
Gloria
(It ain't jingle bells, baby)

Mary was a virgin but laden with child
Yo doc! (yes?) ponder that for a while
They grabbed a couple of mules started across the land
Their destination was called Bethlehem
Ya know, night had fallen they arrived in a fix
Cause every inn was full even Motel 6 (word!)
They got it goin' on in the west side of town
It wasn't quite home but they had a bed down
On this very night she delivered a babe
It was a boy (God's Son) comin' into the world to save
And unbind mankind from a serious debt
Called sin that God couldn't forget
Without sendin' His Son as a gift to man
He lived to be thirty-three and then died
For the plan of salvation so the choice is yours
The true gift of Christmas ain't found in stores

Yo, where's little drummer boy?

[Repeat chorus]
