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 |

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 |

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) |

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 |

(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) |

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 |

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 |
