Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now I'ma tell the world, tell 'em
I'ma tell it everywhere I go
Tell the world, tell 'em
Yeah, I'm a billboard
Tell the world, tell 'em
Broadcastin' like a radio
Tell the world, you oughta know
I'm brand new
[Verse 2]
I know one thing's true, yeah
I don't even really deserve to know You
But I, I'm a witness that You did this
And I'm brand new
So I, I'm ready to go
And I'ma tell the world what they need to know
A slave to myself but You let me go
I tried gettin' high but it left me low
[Verse 3]
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, I ain't love You first but You first loved me
In my heart I cursed Ya but you set me free
[Verse 4]
I gave You no reason to gimme new seasons
To gimme new life, new breathin'
But you hung there bleedin' you died for my lies
And my cheatin', my lust and my greedin', Lord
What is a man, huh, that You mindful of 'em?
And what do I have to deserve this lovin'?
[Verse 5]
Tryna make the moment last
Holdin' on to the past
But like a hero in a dream
Christ came and He rescued me
[Verse 6]
Now I'ma tell the world, tell the world, tell 'em
I'ma tell it everywhere I go
Tell the world, tell 'em
Yeah, I'm a billboard
Tell the world, tell 'em
Broadcastin' like a radio
Tell the world, you oughta know
I'm brand new
[Verse 7]
I can't offer You nothin'
But Your care and kindness keep comin'
And Your love is so unconditional
I get butterflies in my stomach
I got the old me in the rearview
Got a new me, got a clear view
I was so dead I couldn't hear You
Too deep in sin to come near You
[Verse 8]
But you drew me in, You cleaned me up
To take me home, bring me up
Before you do, just let me tell the truth
And let these folks that I done seen your love
And it's everlasting, infinite
It goes on and on, you can't measure it
Can't quit Your love, they can't separate us
From the love of God, there's no estimate
[Verse 9]
My face look the same, my frame done rearranged
But I'm changed, I promise, I ain't the same
Your love's so deep, You suffered and took pain
To die on the cross to gimme a new name
Ain't nothing like I've seen before, I got a beamin' glow
I was low down and dirty but You cleaned me, Lord
You adopted me, You keep rockin' me
I'ma tell the world and ain't nobody stoppin' me
[Verse 10]
Tryna make the moment last
Holdin' on to the past
But like a hero in a dream
Christ came and He rescued me
[Verse 11]
Now I'ma tell the world, tell the world, tell 'em
I'ma tell it everywhere I go
Tell the world, tell 'em
Yeah, I'm a billboard
Tell the world, tell 'em
Broadcastin' like a radio
Tell the world, you oughta know
I'm brand new
[Verse 12]
So therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he's a new creation
To all that's past away behold the new is come
Yeah, I'm brand new
[Verse 13]
Now I'ma tell the world, tell the world, tell 'em
I'ma tell it everywhere I go
Tell the world, tell 'em
Yeah, I'm a billboard
Tell the world, tell 'em
Broadcastin' like a radio
Tell the world, you oughta know
I'm brand new
