Song of the Day – Free At Last (DC Talk Month. Lyrics Included)

Today’s DC Talk Month Song of the Day is “Free At Last”, the title-song from their 1992 album. This is track #8 of 17.

Free At Last is truly a piece of work, it’s unlike anything you’ve likely heard before, and plays out much like a church song that you’d actually hear while in a church. Lots of choir vocals and joyful singing along with some hip-hop raps… It’s really unique… And definitely early 90s. The song is also somewhat tongue-in-cheek and doesn’t take itself too seriously…. But neither does any song on their 1992 album you could say, eh. This is arguably my least favorite DC Talk song, but it’s interesting and has a cool vibe to it so it’s required listening at least once. And the part when Martin Luthor King Jr. comes in is absolutely awesome.

Free At Last Song Lyrics

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 are 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!

Song of the Day – What Have We Become (DC Talk Month. Lyrics Included) From Jesus Freak Album

Today’s DC Talk Month Song of the Day is “What Have We Become” from their landmark 1995 album Jesus Freak. This is track #11 of 13.

Such a powerful song that will bring one to tears. A slower piece from a fantastic album.

What Have We Become Song Lyrics

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 grieving The gift she’d give her family
Would be the pills she’d take

An inconvenient child
She wasn’t worth their while

(repeat choruses 1 and 2)

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

(repeat chorus 1)

What have we become?
Have we come undone?
What have we become?
Have we come undone?
What have we become?

(repeat chorus 2)

Selfish…
With selfish…
Selfish people
When you gonna learn?
Everyone of us
Gathered ’round in trust
What have we become?

Song of the Day – Consume Me (DC Talk Month. Lyrics Included) From Supernatural Album

Today’s DC Talk Month Song of the Day is Consume Me from their 1998 album Supernatural. This is track #4 of 14.

Consume Me is one of the best songs on the Supernatural album, and was a big hit when this album came out in 1998. It’s a powerful song and a beautiful one at that. This song used to bring me to tears at times. :)

Consume Me Song Lyrics

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

Song of the Day – Time Is (Ticking Away) (DC Talk Month. Lyrics Included) From Free At Last Album

Today’s DC Talk Month Song of the Day is Time Is from their 1992 album Free At Last. This is track #9 of 17.

Time Is (Ticking Away) from DC Talk’s 1992 album “Free At Last”, in my opinion, marked a glimpse at the future, and at the Rock Band direction that DC Talk would take with their next album. Although “Time Is” has hip-hop elements, it’s a very rocking track that is absolutely awesome sounding, and in many ways feels out of place to the rest of the album (IMHO).

Time Is Ticking Away Song Lyrics

People watching, every life a mystery
Sunny faces, but you know the stories incomplete
Satisfaction, seems a million miles away
So I’m moving to another state of mind
I’m believing there’s no better place or better time

Everyday we live, there’s a chance to give
Every time we speak, there’s a chance for peace
Everyday we live, there’s a chance

Little sister, put aside your fear and breath
In the secret, do you hear the voice of heaven (sayin’)
Come together, hope is stronger than it seems
Where your standing there’s no running out on love
Only human, but you’ve set your eyes on the things above

Everyday we live, there’s a chance to give
Every time we speak, there’s a chance for peace
Everyday we live, there’s a chance

A chance for you, a chance for me
A chance to serve, in a time of need
A chance to live, a chance to tell
A chance to lose yourself (for somebody else)

Song of the Day – Chance (DC Talk Month. Lyrics Included) From Intermission Album

Today’s DC Talk Month Song of the Day is Chance from their 2000 album Intermission: The Greatest Hits. This is track #17 of 19.

Chance (Along with Sugarcoat It) are among the two newest DC Talk songs ever recorded, on what is DC Talk’s final album Intermission: The Greatest Hits, released in 2000. This album featured two all-new songs, and Chance is an absolutely great song. I love the sound. And it really makes you long for an all-new album from this awesome group.

Chance DC Talk Song Lyrics

People watching, every life a mystery
Sunny faces, but you know the stories incomplete
Satisfaction, seems a million miles away
So I’m moving to another state of mind
I’m believing there’s no better place or better time

Song of the Day – Into Jesus (DC Talk Month. Lyrics Included) From Supernatural Album

Today’s DC Talk Month Song of the Day is Into Jesus from their 1998 album Supernatural. This is track #11 of 14.

Into Jesus DC Talk Song Lyrics

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
But You will never let me down
I can’t hold it in, my soul is screaming

Hey you, I’m into Jesus
Hey you, I’m into Jesus, oh yeah
Hey you, I’m into Jesus
Hey you, I’ve seen the truth and I believe

I know You’re there, I feel Your love through my despair
You speak the words that ease away the pain
My heart is free, my eyes are clear, my soul is healed
Now that You have got a hold on me

My feet may venture to the ground
But He has never let me down
I can’t hold it in, my soul is screaming

Hey you, I’m into Jesus
Hey you, I’m into Jesus, oh yeah
Hey you, I’m into Jesus
Hey you, I’ve seen the truth and I believe

(I still believe, I still believe)
Hey you, this kid is back
And I do declare the sun is shinning
(I still believe, I still believe)

Hey you, this kid is back
With a red alert and it might be blinding
(I still believe, I still believe)

Hey you, the kid is back
And I do declare the sun is shining
(I still believe, I still believe)
Hey you, the kid is back

My feet may venture to the ground
Hey you, I’m into Jesus
Hey you, I’m into Jesus, oh yeah
Hey you, I’m into Jesus
Hey you, I’ve seen the truth and I believe

Hey you, I’m into Jesus
Hey you, I’m into Jesus, oh yeah
Hey you, I’m into Jesus
Hey you, I’ve seen the truth, I’ve seen the truth
I’ve seen the truth

Hey you, I’m into Jesus
Hey you, I’m into Jesus, oh yeah
Hey you, I’m into Jesus
Hey you, I’ve seen the truth, oh yeah, I believe
Yeah, I believe

Song of the Day – What If I Stumble (DC Talk Month. Lyrics Included) From Jesus Freak Album

Today’s DC Talk Month Song of the Day is What If I Stumble from their 1998 album Supernatural. This is track #12 of 14.

What If I Stumble is bar-none, my favorite DC Talk song. This song is just beautiful all the way through, and the lyrics are extremely powerful. I also love the way the song is sung.

What If I Stumble Lyrics DC Talk Song Lyrics

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 can not 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 (2x)

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?

Is this one for the people, is this one for the Lord?

Song of the Day – It’s Killing Me (DC Talk Month. Lyrics Included) From Supernatural Album

Today’s DC Talk Month Song of the Day is “It’s Killing Me” from their 1998 album Supernatural. This is track #2 of 14.

It’s Killing Me is a straight-up rock track that served as a harsh introduction to the new sound of DC Talk from their Supernatural album, it’s about as far from Free At Last as you can get. This song is about how you cannot force someone to see the Love of God, and although it kills us inside, all we can do is pray for that person. Enjoy!

It’s Killing Me DC Talk Song Lyrics:

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

Songs of the Day – Supernatural and Jesus Freak (DC Talk Month Openers. Lyrics Included)

Ahhh the good ol’ days.

Today’s Songs of the Day are DC Talk’s most famous hits, Supernatural and Jesus Freak, to kick off DC Talk Month (March 2013) with a bang!

Supernatural was the highly-anticipated follow-up to DC Talk’s ground-breaking Jesus Freak song and album. The Jesus Freak album was released in 1995, while Supernatural was released in 1998.

Jesus Freak is the song that propelled DC Talk into the mainstream and the album and song became one of the most well-known and biggest Christian rock hits of all time (and best-selling)… During a time when Christian bands were not well known and rarely crossed over or had secular appeal. The song was also a rock track that rocked hard, a big departure for this previously hip-hop focused band. Jesus Freak is track #3 out of 13 on the Jesus Freak album.

Supernatural is a fitting follow-up and has a very cool futuristic, experimental sound to it that is a perfect sequel to Jesus Freak IMHO. Supernatural rocks harder but in different ways. Supernatural is track #12 out of 14 on the Supernatural album.

While Jesus Freak has a unique sound, it has an old-school rock vibe in many ways, while Supernatural has a new-school cool feel to it. Either way, both songs are absolutely phenomenal. Even today they are headbangers for sure and are best enjoyed together. Enjoy!

Supernatural DC Talk Song Lyrics

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

God is there and He is watching
He tells me all is well (it’s supernatural)
God is there, there’s no denying
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

God is there and He is watching
He tells me all is well (it’s supernatural)
God is there, there’s no denying
Supernatural (it’s supernatural)
God is there and He is watching
The signs are everywhere (the signs are everywhere!)
God is there, there’s no denying
Supernatural (it’s supernatural)
Supernatural

Six days a universe was made…
Supernatural
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

God is there and He is watching
The signs are everywhere (it’s supernatural)
God is there, there’s no denying
Supernatural (it’s supernatural)
Supernatural

God is there (God is here! God is there!)
God is everywhere

…. Some things just can’t be explained……

Jesus Freak DC Talk Song Lyrics

Separated… and 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’m divorced…

/ I saw a man with 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 he raved /
/ In a typical tattoo green… /
/ He stood on a box in the middle of the city /
/ And 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 is true

I don’t really care if they label me a JESUS FREAK
There ain’t no disguising the truth

There ain’t no disguising the truth…
Though I ain’t into hiding… The Truth

Kamikaze, my death is gain…
I’ve been marked by My Maker
A peculiar display… yeah
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 crazed by the locusts He ate /
/ You see the Pharisees tripped when they heard Him speak /
/ Til 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 is 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 is 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 HIDIN’….

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 THAT make me a stranger?
My best friend was born in a MANGER

What will people think
When they hear that I’m a Jesus Freak
What will people do when they find that is true
I don’t really care if they label me a Jesus Freak
There ain’t no disguising the truth [repeat]

What will people think?
[What will people think]
What will people do?
[What will people do]
I don’t really care.
[What else can I say]
There ain’t no disguising the truth
[Jesus is the way.]

About DC Talk Month
March 2013 is dedicated to the Christian rock pioneers DC Talk, arguably my favorite Christian CCM (Contemporary Christian Music) rock band and follows January 2013 which was Demon Hunter Month and February 2013 which was Becoming the Archetype Month. March will feature songs from most of dc Talk’s discography (1992’s Free At Last, 1995’s Jesus Freak, 1998’s Supernatural and 2000’s Intermission) featured daily throughout the month, one a day. Whether you like rock/alternative/hip-hop music, believe in God or not, check these songs out as you may be pleasantly surprised and hopefully you will discover some new-to-your-ears music to enjoy. DC Talk features lots of variety in their tunes, from hard rock to hip-hop to slow ballads that will pull on your heartstrings to singable power pop, so there will most certainly be something you’ll like. Enjoy!

 

Instrumental Metal Songs of the Day – St. Anne’s Lullaby + Nocturne + Night’s Sorrow + Denouement (Becoming the Archetype Month Closers)

St. Anne’s Lullaby+Nocturne+Night’s Sorrow+Denouement mark the closing songs for Becoming the Archetype Month! To celebrate the end of a great run of epic metal music, we have four instrumental tracks taken from throughout BtA’s entire discography, I didn’t include Invisible Creature however, which I posted earlier.

St. Anne’s Lullaby is the 5th track from 2008’s Dichotomy album, Nocturne is the 5th track from 2007’s The Physics of Fire, Night’s Sorrow is the 5th track from 2005’s Terminate Damnation while Denouement is the 10th track.

The closer of Becoming the Archetype Month will fittingly be of instrumental tracks that highlight the bands musical prowess. You will greatly enjoy all of these pieces as each of them are absolutely beautiful music.

About Becoming the Archetype Month
February 2013 is dedicated to the Christian metal band Becoming the Archetype, arguably my favorite band (Along with Demon Hunter and The Showdown, both signed to Solid State Records) and follows January 2013 which was Demon Hunter Month. February will feature songs from BtA’s entire catalog featured daily throughout the month, one a day. Whether you like metal, believe in God or not, check these songs out as you may be pleasantly surprised and hopefully you will discover some new-to-your-ears music to enjoy. Becoming the Archetype’s sound is extremely heavy, and metalheads will be in Heaven. However all songs are deep with powerful lyrics that will make you think and ponder, as the sound takes you to new spaces between time and existence, Heaven and Hell. Enjoy!
