Lecrae - Check In (to Rehab)

There are and have been many things in my life that have controlled me. Freedom in Christ is freedom to know that Christ is the only thing I should desire. This doesn't mean I don't struggle or even stumble at times, but it does mean that there's a change in my heart...

This song is a quick intro to the CD called "Rehab" and describes where I have lived for far too long... but as the end of the verse concludes, "I'm ready for rehab, just do what you goin' do."




Lyrics from here

TobyMac - Hey Devil

Just a funky song about what who we have overcome.



She dialed him about 6:00 pm
She checked her hair in the mirror
And she stepped through the door like this
Three flights down
And shes out on the streets
Walking brick sidewalks lined in grey concrete

He saw her coming from a few blocks away
Red scarf in the wind as it started to rain a bit
Shuffled down the boulevard
Cut me like a deck of cards
I thought you had me
You thought that you had me

But hey, Devil, go on
Get your junk out of here
I dont need you
I dont need you
Hey, Devil, go on
Get your junk out of here
I dont need you
So move on

I stepped to it like I knew what I was doing

Im a moth
Youre the flame
Never knew you'd be my ruin
In the blink of an eye
Element of surprise
Got my feet on the earth
But my face to the sky

Shuffled down the boulevard
Cut me like a deck of cards
I thought you had me
You thought you had me
Now the plot is thickening
Pushing deep under my skin
I thought you had me
You that that you had me

You're a beauty and A beast
You're the pressure never cease
You're the straight other side
And they say you never sleep

For a while I've been thinking about what a song for our generation would be like. What would be in it? What would the Christians in the new millennium use to distinguish themselves musically from others? This song is one of those songs that expresses that: The calling that through the power of Jesus Christ we can make a change, we can make a difference:

Lyrics:

New York to LA

Everybody get together

Let's work it out

Got the answer for this world

Let's make it count

Uh oh, uh oh

It's time to live it out

This crazy world we're livin' in

Is lookin' to us now

CHORUS

Oh, we all need love

A different kind of love

One that only comes from above

(X2)

Everybody dance

Everybody move

We can make a change

From New York to LA

(X2)

It's made up to you and me

So what's it gonna be

We can make a stand today

For love and unity

Uh oh, uh oh

I think the time has come

For us to make a difference

And live as one

Chorus

BRIDGE

Don't know you are

Don't know what you think

But you're going nowhere

if you stood in the sink

And we right on the brink

of breaking in here

Livin' the life that is

That seems so obscure

and we changing the world

and healing the hurt

and taking you there

with every word

And the signs on the minds

so yes we go in

Finale up

We at the big end

We are here on planet earth

To make a change

To stand for those who cannot

To never back down

But stand proud for God

The one and only true love

A different kind of love

A love that gives and forgives

Doesn't judge but extends a helping hand

A love that finds a need and fills it

A different kind of love

A love that shares hope, vision and dreams

A love that's not relevant, but revolutionary

Everybody dance

Everybody move

We can make a change

From New York to LA

(X4)
