About

Nu Thang Lyrics

[Intro: Michael Tait]
Young people, God's doin' a new thing
Isn't He? In our community?
Won't you stand with me right now and sing?

[Refrain: Choir & TobyMac]
Ya know He's doin' it
God is doin' a new thang
Ya know He's doin' it
God is doin' a new thang
Ya know He's doin' it (Who's doin' it?)
God is doin' a new thang (Ah, ya know it)
Ya know He's doin' it (Yo, who's doin' it?)
God is doin' a new thang (Ha ha ha)

[Break: TobyMac & Kevin Max]
Yo, fellas, let's do this
Like Brutus
'Cause we ain't new to this
Ah, yeah, ha ha
Oh-oh, yeah
Oh-oh oh-oh, yeah

[Verse 1: TobyMac & Michael Tait]
My God is doin' a brand new thing (Yo)
But since time began, He remains the same
Faithful, forever to His word
And solid, a cornerstone unstirred (Ah, yeah)
But look down through the ages and you will find (You'll find)
God doesn't change but He knows the time (Check the clock)
From harp to piano and song to rap
Ya know, God's wit' us, so we can not lack and so…

[Chorus: Kevin Max & Choir, Michael Tait]
God is doin' a new thing
In our lives, so…
We're doin' a new thing
Through Jesus Christ
God is doin' a new thing
Through our music
We're doin' a new thing
So He can use it

[Verse 2: TobyMac & Kevin Max]
(Oh-oh) God's usin' this music and we're comin' strong (Strong)
(Oh-oh) DC Talkin', often singin' a song (Song)
(Oh-oh) To make ya think twice 'bout the way thatcha live
(Oh-oh) And let ya know Christ is the one that'll give (Yeah, now)
Peace in ya heart, a new start
Call on the Lord and He'll do His part
A brand new thing to ya raggedy walk
He might just match it up to that big ol' talk (Word)

[Chorus: Kevin Max & Choir, Michael Tait]
God is doin' a new thing
In our lives, so…
We're doin' a new thing
Through Jesus Christ
God is doin' a new thing
Through our music
We're doin' a new thing
Whoa-oa ayy-ayy-ee

[Bridge: Choir]
Ooh-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

[Breakdown: James Brown, The D.O.C., Kevin Max & Flavor Flav]
(Ooh) Funk-funk-funky
(Ooh) Funk-funky (Yeah!)
(Ooh) Funk-funk-funky
(Ooh) Funky (Oh-oh)
Hit me!

[Refrain: Choir & TobyMac]
Ya know He's doin' it (Who's doin' it?)
God is doin' a new thang
Ya know He's doin' it (Yo, who's doin' it?)
God is doin' a new thang (Ha ha)
Ya know He's doin' it (Wow)
God is doin' a new thang (New-new-new-new-new-new-new thing)
Ya know He's doin' it (Word up)
God is doin' a new thang (Who's doin' it?)

[Verse 3: TobyMac & Kevin Max]
Like an MC, I'm here to boast (Oh-oh)
I rap about Christ, yo, here's a dose (Oh-oh)
So loud and proud of the God I serve (Oh-oh)
Try to say He ain't wit' it, huh, ya got nerve (Oh-oh)
Christ is the reason for DC Talk (Oh-oh)
He's the focus of our daily walk, y'all (Oh-oh)
Without Him, we ain't nothin' but names (Oh-oh)
But through God, we're doin' brand new thangs (Word)

[Chorus: Kevin Max & Choir, Michael Tait]
God is doin' a new thing
In our lives, so…
We're doin' a new thing
Through Jesus Christ
God is doin' a new thing
Through our music
We're doin' a new thing
So He can use it

[Outro: Choir, Kevin Max & Michael Tait]
God is doin' a new thing
God gave us a song to sing
God is doin' a brand new thing, c'mon
We're doin' a new thing
In our lives
God is doin' a new thing
God gave us a song to sing
God is doin' a brand new thing, yeah
We're doin' a new thing
Whoa, brand new thing, yeah
God is doin' a new thing
God gave us a song to sing
God is doin' a brand new thing, c'mon
We're doin' a new thing
Whoa-oa ooh-oh ooh-ooh
God is doin' a new thing
God gave us a song to sing
God is doin' a brand new thing, c'mon
We're doin' a new thing
Whoa, through our, through our music
God is doin' a new thing
C'mon, c'mon
We're doin' a new thing
Ah, no no no no no
God is doin' a new thing
And I give Him my life
We're doin' a new thing
