Newsboys - Going Public Lyrics






She's been dazed and induced
Wants a part-time God
For the private use
But she won't take a stand
'cause she might get tagged
As a closet Jesus Fan

[Chorus]
SIGN ON
THE TIME IS DRAWING NEAR
THIS IS SURELY A BANNER YEAR
TO BE A PUBLIC WITNESS
SIGN ON
THE LINES ARE DRAWN AND CLEAR
THERE'S NO STRADDLING FENCES HERE
WE'RE GOING PUBLIC WITH THIS

He's displaced and unglued
Scared that faith in God
Could be misconctrued
But the cross makes him wish
That this spine was more
Than a school of jellyfish

[Chorus]

    these Lyrics are just awesome

    Just today, i thing that music sounds like U2 at 90´s begin. But, Newsboys sounds better, in my opinion. This album it´s awesome.

    M.... C....

    I fell in love with the Newsboys in the 90s because they sounded U2-ish, and were better IMHO than all the other Christian groups.

  7. c.... ....

    disappointing thing about this song is the misunderstanding of St. Teresa of Calcutta, the role of works, and the distinction between venial and mortal sin

    c.... ....

    Not everyone is Catholic, my friend. (I, for one, had to look up what a venial sin is; I was just always taught that sin is sin.) Some of us believe that we are saved by grace through faith. Works, while important as a manifestation of faith, aren't necessary for salvation; you can't earn your way into heaven. That's really all this song is saying.

  8. M.... ....

    only 90s kids remember Newsboys from Australia

    M.... ....

    Michiganman800 Grandma in Texas here, enjoying her fav Newsboys songs. LOL

    M.... ....

    Some of us "oldies" remember and love 'em, too!

    M.... ....

    @Lisa Mitchell Hey, me, too! (Well, not a grandma yet, gotta get the kid married first, but I'm an "oldie" in Texas lovin' good ol' Classic Newsboys, too!)

    M.... ....

    I'll be 62 in October. Newsboys 'Shine' and 'Take Me To Your Leader' and dc Talk's 'Jesus Freak' and 'Supernatural' are STILL four of my favorite CDs

  9. I.... S....

    It may be older now, but it's really quite timeless

  10. J.... W....

    Now this I'd consider as a classic!

  11. J.... A....

    Memories! I loved this album!

  12. R.... C....

    Sell the Volvo, shred the Visa send the cash to Ma. Teresa
    Good Idea the truth is on, you can't get saved on merit badges!

  13. M.... B....

    Listen to this when I was a child. This was my childhood.

  14. C.... S....

    When we don't get what we deserve it's a real good thing
