Lyrics
You are the reason for life
The air inside my lungs
You’ve taken hold of my heart
And there’s no doubting
That Your love is Unexplainable phenomenal
And what Your grace has done Is nothing but a miracle
So tell me how could I ever Turn away from You
When You’ve always been The Way the Life and the Truth
CHORUS:
You’ve given me a new heart
True reality
I’m living for the One who set me free
You’ve given me Your vision
Better than a dream
You ain’t gotta wake me up
It’s not a fantasy
POST-CHORUS:
DA DA...
VERSE 2:
My friends keep saying I’ve changed
I’m acting different now
They wanna know what I know
They want the Truth
And so I told them
If you’re free on Friday
Come to youth with me
Leave your past right at the door
And you’ll never be alone
CHORUS 2:
You’ve given me a new heart
True reality
I’m living for the One who set me free
You’ve given me Your vision
Better than a dream
You ain’t gotta wake me up at all
You turned my life
Right upside down
You set my feet
On higher ground
Now I’ll never be the same
It’s not a phase
POST-CHORUS:
DA DA...
RAP:
I’ll never be the same
My heart’s forever changed
I know the old me is over
And buried in the grave
I don’t care what they say ‘cause
I’ll never be ashamed of
His love that saved me 180
The type that’s never fading
So now throw up your hands
If you know Him
Then go ahead and call up your friends
‘Cause we out here on a Friday
Where it began
And if you owe it all to Jesus
Go do your dance

Meaning & Inspiration
“Phenomena (DA DA)” describes Christian conversion as a complete change of heart, vision, and direction. The opening identifies Jesus with “the Way the Life and the Truth,” directly recalling His words in John’s Gospel. Grace is portrayed as miraculous, while freedom becomes the basis for a new reality rather than a temporary emotional experience.
The second verse carries that change into community. Friends notice a difference, and the singer responds by inviting them to encounter the truth that produced it. The rap develops the same idea through the image of the old self being buried and a life turned around. That language closely resembles the New Testament picture of dying to an old way of life and walking in newness. Celebration, witness, and transformation therefore belong together in the song: salvation changes personal identity, removes shame about Jesus, and creates an eagerness to bring others into Christian fellowship.
