Jeremy Camp - Talking lyrics

The entire track is spoken:
You know, I have a
We're in this place, and I
I much love Jesus, though you know, I've a
There's a Scripture that I love because it
It shows me how

Much God loves me in spite of who I am, and
We were talking about it today, we
Were doing a Bible study
And we were talking about it
It's in John - and it
Says that God demonstrates His
Own love to us, that while
We were yet sinners, christ died for us
So that means, you guys
He knows everything about you He
Knows everything about me, and
He still loves us, you know?

And He still gave everything for us and I


Think it's one of those things where God
Lately in my heart
I'm just like, "Lord, please
I'm tired of myself
I'm tired of so many times trying to build
Up the little kingdoms that I have here"
And, and it's been a conviction in my heart
Because, the thing is
It's so easy because we live
Here in this earth

There's a Scripture that says
Set your mind on things above
Not on the things of this earth
Why? Because this is not our home
And, you see, the thing is, is that
We are not here at all, at all
To build our kingdoms
We are here solely for the purpose
Of building the kingdom of God
You guys that's it that's it
And until we let go and release
The things of this world that
That pull so often

Man, I just want to, you see
He's my King, He's my King
And as Him being my King
And me being His servant
Us being His servants
I just want to truly say, "Lord
I want to do whatever You want me
To do surrender my all unto You"
Guys, I, I, mentioned
I look at what is going
On, and I was talking about it earlier, and
My heart, like never before has been urgent
Has been desperate for this generation
You guys

There is so many distractions that's going on
And I know because I get caught up in that
And it's funny - we have so many things
That keep us busy, and I laugh because
You know, I have an iPhone, and I
Love my iPhone, you know, and uh
If there is ten minutes of dead time
I'm like, "Let me see what the next
App that I can maybe download
You know and it's just like whenever we can
Or somebody I can text for a second
And those things aren't bad
It's just that there's a lot of distractions
Almost numbing us to the fact that
We are in desperate need
In desperate need of a Savior
Because we have filled ourselves up with so
Many things here in this earth
There's a generation out there
There are people out there that
Are hurting that are broken

You guys, I just
I was writing for this record
And I said, "God
Give me something that You want me to share
I don't want it to be of myself at all"
I was on my face, and just weeping
And God would just take back to
The basics of our Christianity
You see, how often do we really go out
And we go out and serve people
Whether it be going
To the hospital, or going wherever
Going to your next
Door neighbor and saying, "Can
I mow your lawn
Just for free i just want to serve you
Why? God loves you"

I mean I'm making little examples here
But the point is, is that
We're called to reach out
Each and every one of us
Matthew 5 says you are the
Light of the world
Let your light shine among men that they
May glorify your Father in heaven
And you guys, there's so many people
That, that maybe speak the truth, too
And this song is called "Louder Than Before"
And we all know that actions
Speak louder than words, we know that

When you're serving someone, when you're
Loving someone, showing them Christ
It speaks volumes
There's those who speak truth
But there's no love
And no one wants to hear it
And there's those that quote unquote love
But they're afraid to offend someone
So they won't speak the truth
You guys, the truth will set you free
And you shall be free indeed you guys
We have been given the gift of eternal life
You see, I want to encourage you
But it begins with love

1 Corinthians 13, what does it say?
It says, "We can speak of the tongue of
Men and of angels, but have not love
It's a resounding gong or a clanging symbol
We can even remove mountains
Do all these great
Things, but if we have not love
We're nothing
If I'm on stage here tonight and I'm
Not on my face before the Lord
I'm not loving you guys shame on me
God's been convicting me I've been on
My face, just saying, "Lord
I don't want this to be about me at all"
You guys, read your Bibles, read your Bibles
This is not just our Christian duty
This is the Word of God hebrews 4
It says it's living and it's active
I mean it's doing
Doing something in our hearts
And I want to encourage you, before you want
To see God do those things through you
'cause He's gonna use each and
Every one of you
You don't have to be on stage here
We can pour out to one another and
Reach this nation and all these 18
000 plus people
Here in this city, in the surrounding areas
And
Show the love of Jesus Christ, and serve
And speak the truth

You guys, things can happen
Our moment is now we have one shot
Surrender all, surrender all
Before He can work through You
He has to work in You
Fall more in love with Jesus
So you can tell the world
More and more about your Savior
And how He is
