Newsboys Go Platinum with "God's Not Dead"

Fueled by the movie of the same name, Newsboys' "God's Not Dead (Like A Lion)" goes platinum. Signifying single sales in excess of 1 million units, the award marks a career milestone for the the group and is one of the first Platinum® single certifications in Christian music this year.  

Written by Daniel Bashta, "God's Not Dead" was a multi-week #1 hit and helped inspire the blockbuster Pure Flix film of the same name. Both the God's Not Dead album and single earned RIAA Gold® certifications last year.

"'God's Not Dead' is among Christian music's most significant songs of the decade," said Mark Lusk, president, Inpop Records. "Newsboys' impassioned performance of Daniel's powerfully-penned statement of Truth is not only a defining song in Inpop's history, but it continues to encourage people around the world to stand for Christ."

Newsboys have sold more than 8 million units, amassing eight Gold® certifications, 33 #1 radio hits, four GRAMMY® nominations and multiple Dove Awards. Comprised of lead vocalist Michael Tait, Jody Davis (guitar), Jeff Frankenstein (keys) and Duncan Phillips (drums), the band is nominated for two 2015 Billboard Music Awards-including Top Christian Artist-and they are among the leading nominees at the upcoming K-LOVE Fan Awards later this month.

Here are the lyrics:

Let love explode and bring the dead to life

A love so bold
To seek a revolution somehow

Let love explode and bring the dead to life

A love so bold
To bring a revolution somehow
Now I'm lost in Your freedom
In this world I'll overcome

My God's not dead

He's surely alive
He's living on the inside
Roaring like a lion
God's not dead
He's surely alive
He's living on the inside
Roaring like a lion

Roaring, He's roaring, He's roaring like a lion

Let hope arise and make the darkness hide

My faith is dead I need resurrection somehow
Now I'm lost in Your freedom
In this world I'll overcome

My God's not dead

He's surely alive
He's living on the inside
Roaring like a lion
God's not dead
He's surely alive
He's living on the inside
Roaring like a lion

Roaring, He's roaring, He's roaring like a lion

He's roaring, He's roaring

Let heaven roar and fire fall

Come shake the ground
With the sound of revival
Let heaven roar and fire fall
Come shake the ground
With the sound of revival
Let heaven roar (Let heaven roar) and fire fall
Come shake the ground
With the sound of revival

(My God's not dead)

(He's surely alive)
He's living on the inside
Roaring like a lion
God's not dead
He's surely alive
He's living on the inside
Roaring like a lion
God's not dead
He's surely alive
He's living on the inside
Roaring like a lion
God's not dead
He's surely alive
He's living on the inside
Roaring like a lion

He's roaring, He's roaring, He's roaring like a lion

He's roaring, He's roaring, He's roaring like a lion (Roaring like a lion)
