Tell the World
Lecrae/Mali Music Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now, I'mma tell the world, tell the world, tell 'em
I'mma 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

I know one thing's true
I don't even really deserve to know you
But I am a witness that you did this, and I'm brand new
So, I'm ready to go
And I'mma 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 ya' 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'?

Tryna make the moments last
Holdin' onto the past
But like a hero in a dream
Christ came and he rescued me

Now, I'mma tell the world, tell the world, tell 'em
I'mma 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

I can't offer you nothin'
But your care and kindness keeps 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 nothing like I've seen before, I got a beaming glow
I was low, down, and dirty, but you cleaned me, Lord
You adopted me, you keep rocking me
I'mma tell the world, and ain't nobody stopping me

Tryna make the moments last
Holdin' onto the past
But like a hero in a dream
Christ came and he rescued me

Now, I'mma tell the world, tell the world, tell 'em
I'mma 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

So therefore, if anyone is in Christ
He's in the creation, the old has passed away
Behold, the new is come, yeah, I'm brand new

Now, I'mma tell the world, tell the world, tell 'em
I'mma 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

By 19 yrs old I was a convicted drug dealer and a needle junky and more. But on Nov. 11, 2004 Jesus presence filled my rehab bedroom and He forgave me, cleansed me, saved me, made me new, and even healed my withdrawing body! Now, in 2020 at almost 36 yrs old I’m blessed with a great family and I’m a pastor and minister of His Good News. THANK YOU JESUS FOR YOUR AMAZING GRACE 🙌🙏🙌🙏🙌
