Newworldson, “Today”

Contemporary Christian band Newworldson has released Today, a new track off the album Rebel Transmission.

While not as instantly catchy as Learning to Be the Light, Newworldson’s recent Top 10 hit, Today has its own merits. First off, it captures very eloquently the feelings of a person who is grateful to have God in his life and is passionate about wanting God to take complete and total control over his life.

Second, the melody is instantly catchy and very singable. The tempo is a nontraditionally slow – it’s not a ballad, but it’s not an uptempo song either – so it takes a little getting to for someone like me who likes my ballads slow and my uptempo songs fast.

Ultimately, though, Today should easily find a market in Christian AC and Christian Soft AC/Inspo, where I predict a Top 25 finish for the former and a Top 20 finish for the latter.

TODAY Lyrics
Newworldson

Light of the world
Hope for all man
You never let me down
I can’t believe You call me Your friend
It’s turned my whole life around
But still it’s hard to let go of the wheel
No one ever showed how

Maybe this time You can take the lead
And I won’t try to pull You by the sleeve
Because every time I think that I know better I lose my way
So God, what You wanna do today?

You are the King of Heaven and earth
All of creation bows
I give You my heart for all that it’s worth
I’m at Your service now
But I always want to guess just what You need
Trying to honor my vow

Maybe this time You can take the lead
And I won’t try to pull You by the sleeve
Because every time I think that I know better I lose my way
So God, what You wanna do today?

Maybe we will spend the hours just being still
And knowing You are God
You are God

Every time I think that I know better I lose my way
Don’t let me lose my way

Maybe this time You can take the lead
And I won’t try to pull You by the sleeve
Because every time I think that I know better I lose my way
So God, what You wanna do today?
