Song of the Day – Luv Is A Verb (DC Talk Month. Lyrics Included) From Free At Last Album

Today’s DC Talk Month Song of the Day is “Luv Is A Verb”, from their 1992 Free At Last album. This is track #1 of 17.

A banging, rocking, hop-hoppin’ track from DC Talk’s 1992 landmark album. This song is great even today. I absolutely love how much energy this song has, and all the weird “ping-pong”-ing sounds and the “POW!” and “BOOM!” exclamations spoken throughout. I <3 it! :D

Luv Is A Verb DC Talk Song Lyrics

Intro
Down with the DC Talk, Down with the DC Talk
Are you down with the DC Talk, Down with the DC Talk

Verse 1
Pullin’ out my big black book
‘Cause when I need a word defined
That’s where I look
So I move to the “L’s” quick, fast, in a hurry
Threw on my specs, thought my vision was blurry
I looked again but to my dismay
It was black and white with no room for gray
Ya see a big “V” stood beyond my word
And yo that’s when it hit me That Luv is a verb

B Verse
Words come easy but they don’t mean much
When the words they’re sayin’ we can’t put trust in
We’re talkin’ bout Luv in a different light
And if we all learn to Luv it would be just right

CHORUS:
Hey, tell me haven’t you heard
Luv is serious word
Hey, I think it’s time ya learned
I don’t care what ya say
I don’t care what ya heard
The word Luv
Luv is a verb

– Intro –

Verse 2
Thinkin of a way to explain-o
‘Cause ya knowin’ that I’m flowin’ like a bottle of Drain-o
Simple and plain L-O-V-E
Ain’t all that junk that ya see on TV
Put soaps on a rope ’cause they ain’t worth cope’n
With it’s a myth that there ain’t no hope and
Luv is enough if it’s unconditionally
Given now ya livin’ out the Great Commission

– B Verse –

Verse 3
Back in the day there was a man
Who stepped outta heaven and He walked the land
He delivered to the people an eternal choice
With a heart full of luv and The Truth in his voice
Gave up his life so that we might live
How much more luv could the son of God give
Here is the example that we oughtta be matchin’
‘Cause luv is a word that requires some action

– B Verse –

(Chorus)

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

Today’s DC Talk Month Song of the Day is “Say the Words (Now)”, from their 2001 Intermission album. This is track #1 of 19 and is an updated version of the 1992 “Free At Last” version of the song.

This song is absolutely incredible and is one of the most beautiful songs DC Talk ever composed. The new version is leagues and leagues improved over the original. To this day “Say the Words (Now)” gives me chills. This song will make you re-evaluate your life and your use of the L-word.

Say the Words Now DC Talk Song Lyrics

Silence is golden but these are the words
That the world needs to hear
[brothers and sisters]
Terms of compassion will cause a reaction
As love drives them near
But still we choose to hide behind the face of pride
Pretending we are blind to the calling
This is my point and case, if hate can be erased
With such a simple phrase, why are we stalling?

(chorus)
Say the words, say the words, say “I love you”
Say the words I long to hear
Say the words, say the words, say “I love you”
Say the words I long to hear
Ya gotta say it, ya gotta say it, say it
Ya gotta say it, ya gotta say it

Some just assume we already know
Of the love that they feel
[brothers and sisters]
Some have a heartfelt emotion
But never the words to reveal
I think we all relate, so why are we afraid
To let our hearts convey what we’re feeling?
There is a world in need with hungry souls to feed
And love can intercede if we’re willing, so…

(repeat chorus)

Ya gotta say it, ya gotta say it, say it
Ya gotta say it, ya gotta say it
[check this out]
The word love, well it was once overused
Back in the 70’s the word was abused
But I refuse to let love be diluted
We can’t allow physical lust to intrude it
Or pollute it cause there ain’t no excuse
For the greatest gift of all to be abused
So choose to lose the pride that may tug at you
Don’t be afraid of the words “I love you”

(repeat chorus)

Choose to lose the pride that may tug at you
Don’t be afraid of the words “I love you”
Won’t you say the words
Say the words
Say the words “I love you”
[You’ve got to say it]
Say the words
Say the words
Say them over and over
[Yeah, you’ve got to say it, say it]
Choose to lose the pride that may tug at you
Don’t be afraid of the words “I love you”

—————

Here is the ORIGINAL version of “Say the Words” from their 1992 album “Free At Last”. This version has a bumpin’, hip-hop vibe that is also awesome in its own way.

Videogame Photo of the Day – Mewtwo Is Deep Pokemon First Movie Quote: I See Now That the Circumstances of One’s Birth Are Irrelevant. It Is What You Do With the Gift of Life That Determines Who You Are

So. Deep.

Mewtwo is deep! Pokemon the First Movie Quote: I see now that the circumstances of one’s birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.

Anyone who remembers seeing Pokemon the First Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back in movie theaters when it came out (as I did) will remember well this quote and how absolutely awesome the movie was. It really does get into some deep themes that people forget about; especially for a kid’s film.

Man… I need to watch that movie again! I had an old VHS tape of the film where the sound was in mono, making Mewtwo’s voice normal sounding instead of “distant” as in the actual film. It was WAY better that way!

Here is a trailer for Pokemon the First Movie!

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

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.

Does DC Talk have amazing vocals or what? I love the way they harmonize and hum and such in their songs, you’ll see exactly what I mean by listening to this song. Enjoy! :D

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!
