My dad listened to Dc Talk when he was a teen, and I heard all of their greatest hits since I was a kid. Now I'm in 17, and man it still gives me chills!! This song is such a sucker punch to society's morals and standar-oh wait, we don't have standards anymore!!! Thank you so much guys for being awesome & Jesus Freak!!! Amen!!
@@likwidflame Or he got married in his teens. 19 isn't unreasonable, he could be older than you, and in some states with parental permission you can even get married at sixteen. This was kind of a weird nasty thing to post to someone. I hope in the year that's passed you've gotten nicer.
I introduced my daughter to DC Talk nearly 2 years ago (she was 10). She was dancing around in the back seat of the car to "He Works", then heard Philippians 4:13, and stopped: "Hey, that's a memory verse!" You think this dad was beaming? You better believe it.
We used to love this song so much back in the 90's...they were the best Christian band back then...still love them though their music is still impacting today...God really used them in a powerful way...hope they do a reunion tour and came back to South Africa!
love is patient, love is kind. it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. it is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. it always protects, always trust, always hopes, always perseveres.

I saw them in 96 at Hershey Park and it was great! Just saw this video and I just instantly smiled, chuckled and flashed back to that concert. A Christian group rocking out like a secular group wasn't heard of before these guys, Newsboys, and even Petra
Chris Mac skillet is probably the closest that we will get to that, and its crazy to think about that skillet started out the same year jesus freak was released
I got this album when I was 12 (1993). I was really into it, but I wasn't a musician at the time. Now when I come back to this, I can't get over the complexities and composition of this one song!! I forgot how energetic and catchy this was 😃😄
i used to play this song with my friends in the car back in the car along with many other DC Talk songs like Colored People and Chance.. since its just awesome music many of my friends never even payed attention to the lyrics enough to realize they were about God, etc. Later in life a few of them revisited the songs and realized their meaning and found themselves becoming believers. I grew up listening to intermission
I got to see DC Talk at Joy Jam in June of 1995, I thoroughly enjoyed the music and the song it was great to see and hear their music live in Louisville, Kentucky (where I used to live).
Had to have a big reminder about this during this Christmas Season. I had a big bah humbug attitude. I now have a truckload of stuff donated by people from several different directions in my life to give to a stranger child whose parents are total schmucks, and has to live with an aunt who is barely making it herself. I didn't expect to be the Ambassador. It was an honor given to me. LOVE IS A VERB!!!!
Havikillious to add to what you are saying www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+13 verses 4-7, or you can indulge yourself and read the whole thing :) but it says 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
I remember when I was 5 years old my moms friend took me to their hip-hop performance and I stood right next to the speakers on the shoulders my moms friend. lol.
I totally just rapped along with Toby....after YEARS of not hearing them! WOW! hahah! Good stuff never leaves you! LOVE IT! I also hope that they DO have a 2011 reunion tour that they keep hinting at!!! :)
Back in 1992, The Dc Talk is making a Christian Debut of the album with TobyMac, Michael Tait & Kevin Max and It feels like nothing could come between us or them. 😏
I feel SOOOO OLD watching this! I was 13 years old when this album came out. I was listening to DC Talk, Petra, Carman, and Crystal Lewis during this time of my life.
Toby is still in there! The "Eye On It" video is awesome. These kids have no idea he's 47, but he's rockin em! You go boy! (btw, that's another expression from 1992. :-)
i'm not at all religious now (no hate towards those who are though, as long as you're kind you're cool in my book) but tbh this song still kinda slaps. i loved these guys as a little kid and a lot of their stuff still holds up
To the haters, FIRST OFF, this song was from 1992, so it has an old rap style to it, so dont judge it because of that. This kind of rap was popular and "in" back in 1992. SECOND, "Its christian, therefore its corny or stupid" Yeah yeah, we get it, whatever..-_- THIRD! DIS SONG IS PUUUMPIIIN!! :D

Please pray for me. Things are so different than they were...love IS a verb...
Down with the dc Talk, d- d- down with the dc Talk
Are you down with the dc Talk, d- d- down with the dc Talk
Pullin' out my big black book
Cause when I need a word defined that's where I look
So I move to the L's quick, fast, in a hurry
Threw on my specs, thought my vision was blurry
I looked again but to my dismay
It was black and white with no room for grey
Ya see, a big "V" stood beyond my word
And yo that's when it hit me, that luv is a verb
Words come easy but don't mean much
When the words they're sayin' we can't put trust in
We're talkin' 'bout love in a different light
And if we all learn to love it would be just right
Hey, tell me haven't ya heard?
Luv, is a serious word
Hey, I think it's time ya learned
I don't care what they say
I don't care care what ya heard
The word luv, luv is a verb
Down with the dc Talk, d- d- down with the dc Talk
Are you down with the dc Talk, d- d- down with the dc Talk
Thinkin' of a way to explain-o
Cause ya' know when I'm flowin' like a bottle of Drain-o
Simple and plain, L-O-V-E
Ain't all that junk that ya see on TV
Put soaps on a rope cause they ain't worth copin' with
It's a myth that there ain't no hope and
Luv is enough if it's unconditionally
Givin' now you're living out the Great Commission
Back in the day there was a man
Who stepped out of Heaven and he walked the land
He delivered to the people an eternal choice
With a heart full of luv and the truth in His voice
Gave up His life so that we may live
How much more luv could the Son of God give?
Here is the example that we oughtta be matchin'
Cause luv is a word that requires some action
Words come easy but don't mean much
When the words they're sayin' we can't put trust in
We're talkin' 'bout love in a different light
And if we all learn to love it would be just right
Hey, tell me haven't ya heard?
Luv, is a serious word
Hey, I think it's time ya learned
I don't care what they say
I don't care care what ya heard
The word luv, luv is a verb
This song still gets me hyped even today. I remember every word. TAKE THIS MUG FOR A RIDE!
+Jarrod Cecil Threw on my specs, thought my vision was blurry!
I think its "take this MAN for a ride" lol just thought i tell you, much peace n love brother :D
+Damian Gonzalez I believe so because mug is a term for motherfluffer, I just replaced the last part but you get the point.
+NOT WALKER BROWN Really? Ok, well thanks for the correction man. I'll have to listen to it again 👍
it's a looney tunes sample. it does, in fact, say "take this mug for a ride"

Same! Jamaican here who loooooves dc Talk!
Saw them LIVE in concert in Brisbane Australia in 95. BEST. CONCERT. EVER.
I saw them in 96 at Hershey Park and it was great! Just saw this video and I just instantly smiled, chuckled and flashed back to that concert. A Christian group rocking out like a secular group wasn't heard of before these guys, Newsboys, and even Petra
You are so lucky 😭
You are so lucky 😭
You dont have fun groups like these guys anymore :/ They had true christian swag...no they HAD SWAG!! Still do too!
for real!!! God bless you and your walk with Him 💗
No Christian band can touch these guys. If they had continued, they would have been a huge mainstream band.
Chris Mac skillet is probably the closest that we will get to that, and its crazy to think about that skillet started out the same year jesus freak was released

Never heard DC Talk's earlier albums. Only heard Jesus Freak and Supernatural back in the mid 90's.
Can anyone say 90s? Lol, I love this. DC Talk was one of my favorites when I was a kid...and I'm not that old.
Still an amazing song from a GOATED band!
I'll I never forget these times, this band was part of my adolescence.
Religion can't give you love. Only a personal relationship with Christ can do that.
Shame he's a fictional character...BOW BEFORE PROMETHEUS!

love is deadly serious, not as media corny want to sell us!
yeah, media uses the word love instead of the actual word that media convey's (LUST), where as LOVE...like this song says, its a verb
Love isn't a feeling its an act of your will. I choose to love my kids and y ex-wife, I also choose to love God!

Free at Last and Jesus Freak are both classics. I don't remember other bands which can both rap and rock worth 5/5.
Great lyrics and so true. Was talking to a girlfriend about the most abused word in the English dictionary....LOVE and this song came to mind.
Like if you're still rapping to this song 20 years later!
Um, now that was 7 years ago...PTL!
The song came out in 1992
Free at last one of the most successful Christian albums in the history!

me and two of my buddies used to perform these songs at youth rallies at different churches back in our teenage days.....fun times this brings back some fun memories!
It's probably been almost 15 years since I've heard this. Used to have these cds back in the day. Saw the OG lineup a couple times around 99, 00.
Tobymac is a Christian Rapper like Sonny Sandoval from P.o.d and I could also agree that the 90's is back where it belongs to me.
this track is from 1992 not 2010 as the video info reads...haha and it sure brings back memories!!
I sure do miss dc Talk! I had the biggest crush on Kevin lol They are all awesome guys! They seriously should consider a reunion tour!
Luv is serious. Love the rapping in this song
I LOVE DC TALK!!!
Oh yea and oldie but goodie
I luv this song!!!
Turned my life around the day i heard their music
Relive the 90's
👩🌾Didn't have time listening when they were actual, so when turning 53 it's about time checking them out, and yeah,💓 love is definitely a verb🙌
COMPASSION=As GOD comes in after the NOUN, in true hearts of PRAYER! . .

still one of the hypest, no cap!!!
Got that Bugs Bunny sample!
I grew with this lovely ones ;)
Love is a verb that becomes a noun (the feeling), when executed correctly.
Love is far more about action than feeling. Feeling without action is infatuation, not love. Real love expressea itself without saying a word.
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud.
