New Direction Music

New Direction Music consists of some "Old School Using New School Singing" to minister to the youth.

New Direction music in-stills in its music The importance of praising the Lord always, being grateful for His love and faithfulness, depending on Him, obeying Him and the importance of intercessory prayer for others as well as ourselves.

Here are some examples of the youth ministry themes found in this wonderful collection of songs.

There's no point in trying to label it. Just sit back, crank it up, and prepare to be amazed by New Direction Music.

I've included some mp3s to go along with the words to some of the lyrics.

"A Song"
(written by Percy Bady)
(recorded by New Direction)
Power of music in a believer's life

Verse 1: A song can change the whole atmosphere, move you to tears, stir up joy within. A song can speak when troubles weigh you down, encourage your faith, chase away your doubts.

Do you have a song? Do you have a song?

Chorus 1: Don't lose your song, just keep on singing, when things go wrong, let the melody keep ringing. Deep in your heart, there's a song that you feel; let it ring, lift your voice, just sing, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let it ring, lift your voice, just sing, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sing a song, sing a song,

Verse 2: A song can lead you to that secret place where God abides, where you seek His face. Talking 'bout a song that can call upon the heart of God, cause Him to move when all is said and done.

Do you have a song? Do you have a song?

Chorus 2: Don't lose your song, just keep on singing, when things go wrong, let the melody keep ringing. Deep in your heart, there's a song that you feel; let it ring, lift your voice, just sing, let it ring, lift your voice, just sing.

A song, a song, a song, just sing, just sing a song.

Something down inside of me, I can’t hold me peace, no,

Chorus

Rap:
I can feel the fire moving deeply down into my soul,
warming up my elements where my spirit was cold.
It got my bones spiritually heated because I have been treated
with God’s holy anointing which was something that I needed.
I excel to another level, I’m serving God and coming against this lying devil,
how could I fail ‘cause I’ve got this whole armor on,
I’ll be like Jeremiah warming up your soul and never leave you alone.

It feels like fire shut up in my bones.

When I woke up this morning,
my family was doing fine,

My hands went up, I started praising God
for giving me another chance, yes.

My hands went up
my hands went up.
