[Hook: Mali Music]
Now I’ma tell the world, tell ‘em
I’ma tell it everywhere I go
Tell the world, tell ‘em
Yeah, I’m a billboard
Tell the world, tell ‘em
And I’m broadcastin’ like a radio
Tell the world
You ought to know, I’m brand new
[Verse 1: Lecrae]
I know one thing’s true
I don't even really deserve to know you
But I’m a witness that you did this and I'm brand new
So I'm ready to go
And I’ma tell the world what they need to know
A slave to myself, but you let me go
I tried getting high, but it left me low
You did what they could never do
You cleaned up my soul
And gave me life, I'm so brand new
And that’s all that matters
I ain’t love you first, but you first loved me
In my heart I cursed you, but you set me free
I gave you no reason to give me new seasons
To give new life, new breathin’
But you hung there bleedin’
And you died for my lies and my cheatin’
My lust and my greed and
What is a man that you mindful of him?
And what do I have to deserve this lovin’?
[Bridge: Mali Music]
Tryna make the moments last
Holdin’ on to the past
But like a hero in a dream
Christ came and he rescued me
[Hook: Mali Music]
Now I’ma tell the world, tell ‘em
I’ma tell it everywhere I go
Tell the world, tell ‘em
Yeah, I’m a billboard
Tell the world, tell ‘em
And I’m broadcastin’ like a radio
Tell the world
You ought to know, I’m brand new
[Verse 2: Lecrae]
I can't offer you nothin’
But your care and kindness keep comin’
And your love is so unconditional
I get butterflies in my stomach
I got the old me in the rearview
Now the new me got a clear view
And I was so dead I couldn't hear you
Too deep in sin to come near you
But you drew me in, you cleaned me up
So take me home, beam me up
Before you do, just let me tell the truth
And let these folks know that I done seen your love
And it's everlasting, infinite
It goes on and on, you can’t measure it
Can’t quench your love, they can’t separate
Us from the love of God: there’s no estimate
My face look the same, my frame ain’t rearranged
But I’m changed, I promise I ain’t the same
Your love’s so deep, you suffered and took pain
You died on the cross to give me a new name
Ain’t nothin’ like I've seen before, I got a beamin’ glow
I was low, down and dirty, but you cleaned me, Lord
You adopted me, you keep rockin’ me
I'ma tell the world and ain’t nobody stoppin’ me
[Bridge: Mali Music]
