Today’s DC Talk Month Song of the Day is “Day By Day”, from their 1995 Jesus Freak album. This is track #5 of 13.

Day by Day DC Talk Song Lyrics

I live a simple life, I take a day at a time
I spend my mornings with God before I hit the grind
The subtleties of darkness never cease to amaze
As a physical world creates a spiritual haze

Blinded by distractions
Lost in matterless affairs
Reaching through the darkness
Trusting You will meet me there

[Chorus]
Day by day, day by day
Day by day, day by day
Oh dear Lord, three things I pray [one, two, three]
To see thee more clearly [day by day]
To love thee more dearly [day by day]
To follow thee more nearly [I got to take it]
Day by day

You cruise around the corner
You watch your back

You sweep your feet down alley streets
Sometimes you creep, I never see you coming
Monday, man you’re on my back
Like a knapsack strapped with my heavy burden

No, You cannot condemn me
I won’t buy your bag of goods
You’ve got nothing for me anyway
That’s why I pray

[Chorus]

These three things
I do pray
Day by day

Day by day, by day, by day
[These three things]
Day by day, by day, by day
[I do pray]
Day by day, by day, by day, by day (2x) [it’s one step out of time]

[Chorus]

As you walk
Day by day
Go to God and pray,
“I’m gonna go Your way”

[I’m gonna pray]
See thee more clearly [every day]
Love thee more dearly [oooh, oh yeah]
Follow thee more nearly [I’m gonna go your way]
Does any body hear me?

Day by day, by day, by day by
Day by day, by day, by day by
Day by day, by day, by day, by day

[I know I’m always safe with you]
[One day at a time]

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

Austrian Death Machine’s Triple Brutal Album Announced (Via IndieGogo Crowdsourcing). As I Lay Dying’s Tim Lambesis Returns On Vocals For Arnold Schwarzenegger Parody Metal Band With Guest Musicians, Writers, Vocalists, Etc. (Impending Doom, Allegaeon)

Awesome cover art!

As I Lay Dying lead singer Tim Lambesis’ Arnold Schwarzenegger parody-band Austrian Death Machine has announced their third album, “Triple Brutal”! This album follows previous releases “Double Brutal” (2009) and “Total Brutal” (2008).

Triple Brutal will be entirely independently produced via Crowd-Sourcing website “IndieGogo”, which allows fans to help fund the Austrian Death Machine Triple Brutal record and get cool extras for doing so, including a Vinyl copy of the album! As always with crowd-sourcing, the more money you give to the project the cooler stuff you can get!

If you haven’t heard of the band “Austrian Death Machine”, they (“they” previously being simply Tim Lambesis himself and a voice-guy pretending to be Arrrrnold) are a metal parody band that is inspired by famous Arnold Schwarzenegger quotes (Like “Get to the Choppa!” or “Come With Me If you Want to Live”) and Schwarzenegger movies (Terminator, Jingle All the Way, Total Recall, Predator) that builds kickass metal songs around those quotes and movies. Throughout the songs there is a parody voice of a guy who sounds like Arnold saying funny things (as well as Tim Lambesis…. playing himself. “Arnold” often makes fun of Tim and calls him a “girly man”), including actual Arnold Schwarzenegger quotes and wordplays. The albums also features comedy interludes between songs of Tim talking to “Arnold” which plays on Arnold’s ultimate masculinity and overall ability to kick your and everyone else’s ass. :D

Here is one of my favorite Austrian Death Machine songs to give you an example, it’s Arnold’s quote from the movie “Jingle All the Way” and the song is called “Who Told You You Could Eat My Cookies?” Naturally, the quote lends itself to a Cookie Monster parody! Enjoy!

Additionally, here is Austrian Death Machine’s official music video for “Get to the Choppa”!

In short, Austrian Death Machine is AWESOME! You should both check out their previous albums and help them create their third album by backing this project! DOOO ITTTT!

I should also mention that Triple Brutal is the first album that will feature major guest stars from other bands, not just on vocals but musicianship as well and even on the writing of the songs. Previously Tim Lambesis not only did the vocals in the songs (outside of the Arnold vocals) but also all the musicianship himself. This time he’ll have help from guests including drummer Brandon Trahan of Impending Doom and guitarist Ryan Glisan of Allegaeon/Pyrithion! Awesome!

 

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

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

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

Dive is one of my favorite DC Talk songs of all time. I just love the feel and the vibe of the song, and the lyrics are amazing. Enjoy!

Dive DC Talk Song Lyrics

[You wanna take a dive?]
[Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah]
[Watch out]
[It’s quite all right]
[Through the night]

I saw it all from my bubble on the 15th floor
I was so unaware as I sank into my leather chair
Upon my throne I was known as untouchable
The smoke was creeping in
My castle walls were wearing thin
It took a fire to inspire me to make my move
Cigarette in a garbage can
Changed the ways of this corporate man
It was time for a radical plan

I took a dive
I took a love plunge into Your arms
I took a dive
I took a love plunge into Your arms
I took a dive
I jumped in with all my heart
I took a dive

Follow me through the door to the great unknown
Something was telling me that this would shape my destiny
Take my hand, understand You are not alone
Shame on me if I oppose the stirring of the Holy Ghost
Heard a voice calling out to me [out to me]
I come to set your spirit free [spirit free]
And in Me you are free indeed

I took a dive
I took a love plunge into Your arms
I took a dive
I took a love plunge into Your arms
I took a dive
I jumped in with all my heart
I took a dive

[Ah ah ah ah, ah, ah, ah]
Won’t you come and take a dive with me
[Ah, ah, ah, ah, ahhh]
Won’t you come and take a dive with me
[Ah, ah, ah, ah, ahhh] Jump in with all your heart and take a dive

I’m breathing under water [i’m breathin’ under]
I’m sinking like a submarine [a submarine]
Your ocean’s so much deeper [i’m goin’ deeper]
Than anything I’ve ever dreamed

I took a dive
I took a love plunge into Your arms
I took a dive
I took a love plunge into Your arms
I took a dive
I jumped in with all my heart
I took a dive

[Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah]
[Jump, jump]
Won’t You come and take a dive with me
[Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah]
[Jump, jump]
Won’t you come and take a dive with me
[Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah]
[Jump, jump]
Won’t you come and take a dive with me
[Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah]
[Jump, jump, jump, jump]
Won’t you come and take a dive with me
[Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah]
