Awesome song!!!! When I first heard this song at a Christian bookstore, I thought the dude was white!! LOL.. someone said he was one of the guys from DC talk.
I like how half the comments to this video are people freaking out about seeing Tobymac with Michael at 4:17 hahaha I wish the 2 of them would just write a couple more good songs together and maybe a tour with Kevin Max and stuff
oh ya. michael makes some great music along with another new christian band called Red Letter Hymnal. They both have awesome songs on youtube and itunes for that matter
It was an awesome experience getting to see Michael perform this song live in Little Rock, Arkansas a few years ago (and I was in the front row to boot). Powerful song!
sounds very DC Talk. I shouldn't be surprised, Kevin, Toby and Michael all have elements that came through in DC Talk. Such a cohesive body of artists.... now when I listen to DC talk I can appreciate their inidivdual contributions to what was a great team.
i am totally surprised i didn't know this was Tait's song its one of my faves esp. when i feel i am loosing my grip on salvation because of all i have to go thru'.He will do good with newsboys.just hope we'll get to hear Fuller's voice once in a while.
Lil cheesy, but i love it. I think Kevin Max needed Michael Tait & Toby to balance out his dark poetic angstiness, hahah. I always loved Kevin's voice the most, and Michael's soul, and Toby's goofiness :D
This is a song that touches your SOUL! I'm sure it touches the heart of God! This isn't just a song, this is alot of people's story, even christians, yes christians!n It is time to get serious about following what God wants you to do!!
SO MANY awesome Christian Rock bands these days to enjoy! Tait is so cool and I am glad he is continuing his talent with Newsboys. I hope they come to Phoenix some day. Cannot get enough of Fireflight's new ablum also.
This brings back so many memories of hearing this on K-Love (105.5FM) raidio station and singing and dancing to it, thanking the Lord for all that I have.....Tait is truly amazing. Love it. God bless :)
Back in 2005 I had to make an emergency trip to West Texas and on the way I turned on KLOVE. I heard Mercy Me and was blown away. The Christian bands had certainly gotten way better since the 1980s. I love the way you guys are able to connect to today's youth, even with heavy metal Christian Bands. Never thought I'd see the day. Michael Tait, TobyMac, Newsboys, Casting Crowns, Jeremy Camp, and way too many great artists to list here. KUDOS ALL OF YOU!!!!!!
I like Micheal Tait but i see him more better with is own band then with the Newsboys, this is my opinion cause i'm so use to see Newsboys with Australia singer then American but its ok he will do good work for God anyway with Newsboys.
When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, "Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 35 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it. 36 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? 37 Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
Well I just came back from the Newsboy concert with Tait and I must say, miss Peter, but Michael absolutely rocked the house in Orlando! Apparently, Peter was stepping down and DC Talk and Newsboys had a history together, so Tait was a front runner for the replacement...
This guy has a killer voice, but I just wanna know why he joined Newsboys. I could understand background work, but replacing their lead guy? He was great. I'm just confused.
Wow! Thanks Gatorbaby06 for the info! I"ll be saving up and praying for a DC Talk reunion! I hate was in literally in the boondocks and missed them when they came out with this unique music! It would have been awesome to see them perform as youngins. I also like in "The Light." Got to see Toby Mac and Diverse City perform it. Awesome. God bless you! P.S. When you do get back stage passes, please give Michael Tait a home baked sweet potatoe pie for me! I think that's one of his favorites.
Brochan Charm. I appreciate the response. Who is Phil Joel? I apologize that I'm Christian music challenged! LOL Being a newbie of this music genre. I"m blown away with their message and their talent. They are totally under appreciated and very ahead of their time, like Jimi Hendrix. and all the greats. Back to Peter, I like the Brotha alot, he's got charisma and the voice to carry it off!
Love this song. Michael Tait will be just fine with the Newsboys. I know the public is expecting so much out of him, replacing Pete and all, he's (Mike) a human being who obviously loves the Lord, that's all we need in this world right now. I believe in you Michael and I"ll be cheering for you, I"m driving over 800 miles to see a Newsboys concert. No joke, I live in the boondocks. The brothas got it, he aint never lost it! Godspeed my brothas and sistas in Christ. Keep the faith in Christ!
I love MIchael Tait. It's just hard seeing Peter replaced. It was hard for me to accept Paul Coleman when he replaced Phil Joel. They did just fine. I'm just going to miss the original Newboys.
man i did not know peter was gone! last news i new on the newsboys was about petes marriage ? Tait is awesome but yah phil, peter, and well lets give them all support no matter what^^v
@whiteoutmuzik Toby and Tait have sung together before, all they have to do is include kevin. i'm not saying they should become official again, just like one song. :)
For whoever seeks to save his life shall lose it, but whoever loses his life for Christ's sake and for the gospel shall find it! May we be found in Him and in the power of His resurrection!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
He'll say he's spiritual. His myspace says Catholic I think, though. And no, he doesn't make Christian music. Check his lyrics... He rambles about nothing.
This is a lovely song, I've loved it since it's been out. The video has a great mood to it also...praise God for this great band[which is a by-product of dcTalk] ;]
GatorBaby06.....If D.C. Talk got back together...I"d be the first in line for concert tickets!!!! I just recently found out about them and their music as changed my life and helped my walk with the Lord tremendously! What a reunion that would be. I hope their still friends?
if dcTalk reunited, u might be 1st in line--but I'd get backstage access!! I <3 seeing groups with admiration for God & poise in their individual minstries. Their songs couldnt be sung any other way. The first song that changed my life by dcTalk was In the Light. Ever since, I've made that my mission & ministry to others. P.S. Phil Joel was a lead vocal/guitarist for the Newsboys before he went solo. Check out "Entertaining Angels" and "Watching over You". Phil's a devoted man of God. Bless ^_^
I think they will. I truly do. They still continue to say they will. Although in 2001 they all promised that they'd make 1 solo album then make a dc Talk album but I'm sure they both still miss it at times. I don't know if Kevin wants to do it as much as Tait and Toby would though. He doesn't like the Christian market and I don't know if he likes dc Talk that much.
I love Michael Tait and he's perfect for being the new singer for the newsboys, but its going to take forever to get used to it because I loved Peter as their singer!
its because Dc talk was one of the 1st bands to make upbeat songs for christian music. Its mostly just people who are more into contemparary christian music that would call them satanic but the are 100% christian.
When I first heard that Peter Furler was steping down as the lead singer of the Newsboys I was like NOOO!!! But I'm really glad its Michael Tait thats going become their new front guy.
i've always wondered where this guy went after dc talk... guess i know now... his new thing is pretty cool too...other guys went on to be solo artists and i never knew where he went... dc talk is friggin' amazing! and this guy
umm michael tait is an ex-member of the first CHRISTIAN ROCK BAND dc Talk (stands for Decent Christian TALK)... so the band is definately not satanic...
i actually met the guy once, he was pretty cool...
btw: kevin max is another ex-member of dc Talk, and so is Toby Mac... just so ya'll know...
actually, they were the first "modern" christian band...
back in '88 (i think) when they first formed, they were critizied by a bunch of old-style philanthropists for playing and singing "satan music"...
the only other band who claimed to be Christian before them was KISS back in '86 or '87 after they were thought to be satanist and they came back after a 3 year break-up, but they don't really count cuz they didnt do what dc talk did...
dc Talk wasn't a "rock" band until Jesus Freak. Mid 90's. Their first 3 albums, especially their first 2, were all rap with some soulful vocals by Tait and KMAX. Definitely not the first Christian rock band. But they're the first major-label Christian rap group.
DC Talk never broke up. They just don't do that much together anymore, but occasionally they'll get together and do a song. For example, in the Kevin Max album "The Blood" they all sang "The Cross". It's pretty sweet.
19"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Yes I would consider it DC Talk, and if you would simply buy and listen to the CD, you would realize that in the track index, the song is listed as "DC Talk". By the way, you don't have to say a person's middle name when referring to them. Kevin Max Smith goes by many different names, so I don't think it matters.
Lol. In what way do they sound satanic? With their Christ-centred lyrics?
"Praise him with the sound of the trumpet; Praise him with the lute and the harp! Praise him with the timbrel and dance; Praise him with stringed instruments and flutes! Praise him with loud cymbals; Praise him with clashing cymbals!" - Psalm 150:3-5
Listen to the lyrics and you'll be convinced of their intention and motive. Even music that doesn't "sound" satanic can be exactly that in the lyrics that are planted in the masses. ~Sean
lol Tait is far from Marylin Manson!!! How can you sound satanic, anyway? And even if he wasn't Christian, this style isn't all harcore metal. It's pretty chill.
tait is so AWSOME my mom really liked tait too.the reason i say (liked) is cause i lost my mom when i was only 10, and im 13 now so it was 3 yreas ago that i lost her to cancer.
DC Talk broke up a while ago. Yet they didn't. God called them separately. They all say that they are still DC Talk. They just happen to have solo careers.

dc Talk wasn't a "rock" band until Jesus Freak. Mid 90's. Their first 3 albums, especially their first 2, were all rap with some soulful vocals by Tait and KMAX. Definitely not the first Christian rock band. But they're the first major-label Christian rap group.

DC Talk never broke up. They just don't do that much together anymore, but occasionally they'll get together and do a song. For example, in the Kevin Max album "The Blood" they all sang "The Cross". It's pretty sweet.

they may do a song together but that was under kevin max's album so i wouldnt consider it dc talk]

Matthew 6:19-21
19"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

By Kevin Smith, I assume you mean Kevin Max Smith. It is a great song and it is a fantastic album.
GooseberrySerum 3 years ago
Yeah - some of us remember when Kevin went by his real name ;-)
I loooove Michael Tait - he is such an amazing singer and has always seemed like a really good guy too. GREAT voice!!!

Yes I would consider it DC Talk, and if you would simply buy and listen to the CD, you would realize that in the track index, the song is listed as "DC Talk". By the way, you don't have to say a person's middle name when referring to them. Kevin Max Smith goes by many different names, so I don't think it matters.

are u sure they are chistians they sound a bit satanic sometimes
jarewl 3 years ago
Lol. In what way do they sound satanic? With their Christ-centred lyrics?
"Praise him with the sound of the trumpet; Praise him with the lute and the harp! Praise him with the timbrel and dance; Praise him with stringed instruments and flutes! Praise him with loud cymbals; Praise him with clashing cymbals!" - Psalm 150:3-5

Listen to the lyrics and you'll be convinced of their intention and motive. Even music that doesn't "sound" satanic can be exactly that in the lyrics that are planted in the masses. ~Sean

they are definitely Christians, and this song in fact has a strong Christian meaning...not sure where you are getting the satanic aspect...
Spartans4Sarah 3 years ago
lol Tait is far from Marylin Manson!!! How can you sound satanic, anyway? And even if he wasn't Christian, this style isn't all harcore metal. It's pretty chill.

DC Talk broke up a while ago. Yet they didn't. God called them separately. They all say that they are still DC Talk. They just happen to have solo careers.
