Download: Clean – Newsboys
Gospel music grammy-nominated group Newsboys offers up a brand new single titled, “Clean.”
Speaking on the song, Newsboys say, “We tried to write a song that speaks to the very purpose and mission of every human. We finished the song and were like ‘This feels like an album theme.’ And especially nowadays in the face of so much hate.”
“I mean, let’s face it, I’m a man of colour, and people are trying to tell me black and white can’t get along; we don’t like each other. When people ask you, ‘Where do you stand? Tell me the hope that lies within you,’ believers in Christ should stand. The Bible says God would rather you be cold or hot, not lukewarm.” – the DOVE award-winning group continues.
“You’re not standing if you’re standing in the middle. You have to choose a side. If you’re going to be a bad boy, be a bad boy. If you’re going to be a God follower, then be a Jesus freak, do it.” — Group member, Michael Tait concludes.
The new single comes ahead of the release of Newsboys forthcoming album project, “Stand”, due out October 1st, 2021. The album project also marks the band’s return to their original label home, Capitol CMG.
This new song is accompanied by a video visualizer.

Lyrics: Clean By Newsboys
Solo:
I’ve been hiding,
Behind the walls, I built to hide my insecurity,
I’ve been pretending,
To be the person everybody wants me to be.
I can’t go on living a lie,
When I know I’m broken on the inside.
Chorus:
God, You’re strong when I am weak,
I need Your grace to help me to see,
That I’m not longer a slave to me,
I’ve been washed, I’ve been set free.
You make me clean,
Better than new, God You do,
You make me clean,
I know it’s the truth.
Only You, You make me clean.
Solo:
Stand tall they say,
Don’t let the world around you see your need to be saved,
Make your own truth,
Just live your life in any way that feels good to you.
I can’t go on living like this,
Cause I know who the healer of the story is.
Bridge:
I can feel the walls are coming down,
I can feel Your grace working on me,
I can feel the chains are breaking now,
I can feel Your spirit move in me.
I can see the light is breaking through,
I can feel Your mercy changing me,
I can see the old has been made new,
Only by Your Spirit.
Chorus:
God, You’re strong when I am weak,
I need Your grace to help me to see,
That I’m not longer a slave to me,
I’ve been washed, I’ve been set free.
You make me clean,
Better than new, God You do,
You make me clean,
I know it’s the truth.
Only You, You make me clean.
Vamp:
You make me clean,
You make me brand new,
You make me clean,
You make me brand new.
You make me clean,
You make me brand new,
You make me clean,
You make me clean.
