TFT: Newsboys

Link: [Newsboys]

Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world.  For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion.  Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.


Shine
Newsboys
Dull as dirt
You can't assert
The kinda Light
That might persuade
A strict dictator
To retire
Fire the army
Teach the poor origami
The truth is
In the proof
Is when
You hear your heart start asking
What's my motivation
And try as you may
There is no way
To explain the kinda change
That would make
An Eskimo renounce fur
That would make a vegetarian
Barbeque hamster
Unless you can trace
This about-face
To a certain sign

Shine
Make 'em wonder whatcha got
Make 'em wish that they were not
On the outside
Looking bored
Shine
Let it shine before all men
Let 'em see good works
And then
Let 'em glorify the lord

Out of the shaker
And onto the plate
It isn't karma
It sure ain't fate
That would make a deadhead
Sell his van
That would make a schizophrenic
Turn in his crayons
Oprah freaks
And science seeks
A rationale
That shall excuse
This strange behavior
When you let it shine
You will inspire
The kind of entire turnaround
That would make a bouncer
Take ballet
Even bouncers
Who aren't happy
But out of the glare
With nowhere to turn
You ain't gonna learn it on
What's My Line

Shine
Make 'em wonder whatcha got
Make 'em wish that they were not
On the outside
Looking bored
Shine
Let it shine before all men
Let 'em see good works
And then
Let 'em glorify the lord

Shine

Shine

Shine
Make 'em wonder whatcha got
Make 'em wish that they were not
On the outside
Looking bored
Shine
Let it shine before all men
Let 'em see good works
And then
Let 'em glorify the lord
Shine
Make 'em wonder whatcha got
Make 'em wish that they were not
On the outside
Looking bored
Shine
Let it shine before all men
Let 'em see good works
And then
Let 'em glorify the lord
Shine


I’m Not Ashamed
Newsboys
I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show
I'm not ashamed to speak the name
Of Jesus Christ

What are we sneaking around for
Who are we trying to please
Shrugging off sin
Apologizing
Like we're spreading
Some kind of disease
I'm saying
No way
No way

I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show
I'm not ashamed to speak the name
Of Jesus Christ

This one says it's a lost cause
Save your testimonies for church time
The other ones state
You'd better wait
Until you do a little market research
I'm saying
No way
No way

I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show
I'm not ashamed to speak the name
Of Jesus Christ
I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show
I'm not ashamed to speak the name
Of Jesus Christ

I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show
I'm not ashamed to speak the name
Of Jesus Christ
I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show
I'm not ashamed to speak the name
Of Jesus Christ

I'm not ashamed to speak the name
Of Jesus Christ

I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show
I'm not ashamed to speak the name
Of Jesus Christ
I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show
I'm not ashamed to speak the name
Of Jesus Christ
I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show
I'm not ashamed to speak the name
Of Jesus Christ
I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show
I'm not ashamed to speak the name
Of Jesus Christ

  5. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Country Mouse!!! I am not all that familiar with much of anything else they did than these two songs, but there will be another one coming this Thursday. That is, unless our Heavenly Father has other plans, of course.
