about

One of the oldest tracks on the album and the first song I co-wrote with Angel Dean (angeldean.com). It also features some really nice guitar licks by my friend, Ken Verheecke (kvmusic.net).

lyrics

VERSE 1:
Shawn Michael’s back with a fresh attack
And a rhyme that’s fully persuaded
I took the time to write this rhyme
With Jesus Christ upgraded

I think about the things He’s done
And all that I can see
What He did for me, what He’ll do for you
When He died upon that tree

Don’t you wonder, or even care
About what He did go through?
Take time to realize, “co-concealize”
The price He paid for you

Go against the flow, preach Jesus loud
‘Cause what you got can save
Those around in you in pain
Stand up right now and be brave and make that change!

CHORUS:
Don’t wanna delay; make that change
make it – make that change…
Enlighten your life; make that change
make it – make that change…

VERSE 2:
I preach the Word and if you hadn’t heard
There’s Truth in it for free
So listen up close, get over-dosed
So now you can relate to me

Satan has come to kill and destroy
Jesus gave life and life to enjoy
He’s calling you, you’re standing still
Just what do you think your doing?

Go and tell all of the world
Preach the news to all men (amen)
Wear a Christian shirt; tell all of your friends
Jesus Christ forgave all of my sins

If we aren’t the ones to witness
Then how will the people know? (I dunno)
God open our eyes – help us realize
That our fear has got to go to make that change!

BRIDGE:
Make that change for the better
I mean it every letter
I’m not a go-getter
But you’d better for the better or your life
My long lost friend
Before the weekend ends

Set all your trends
No turns, no bends,
No stops, no ends,
Just stop and plan - plan to make that change

VERSE 3:
God wants no slack or falling back
‘Cause it’s time to make that change
Follow God not that spit-wad
Whose actions make you strange

My heavenly King, He’s everything
You’d ever want Him to be
He’s, ah, living large with no credit charge
Except your heart a small fee

He’s the only Holy Lamb of the most Holy One
He broke the chains – you’re free!
So jump up and down, hop all around
For He’s given you the victory to make that change
