Lyric Tuesdays

I have loved dc Talk since junior high school. I remember seeing them in concert with my church youth group and thinking they were the best, most fun thing since sliced bread. Now years later, I giggle at my silliness and straight up laugh when I hear dc Talk's really old music where they beatbox. Come on, People... In any case, I enjoyed and still appreciate their music. "Jesus Freak" was one of my favorite songs.

Jesus Freak

[what will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak?
What will people do
When they find that's its true? ]

Separated, I cut myself clean
From a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams
Been apprehended by a spiritual force
And a grace that replaced all the me Ive divorced

I saw a man with tat on his big fat belly
It wiggled around like marmalade jelly
It took me a while to catch what it said
Cause I had to match the rhythm
Of his belly with my head
Jesus saves is what it raved in a typical tattoo green
He stood on a box in the middle of the city
And claimed he had a dream

(chorus)
What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that its true
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth

Kamikaze, my death is gain
I've been marked by my maker
A peculiar display
The high and lofty, they see me as weak
Cause I wont live and die for the power they seek

There was a man from the desert with naps in his head
The sand that he walked was also his bed
The words that he spoke made the people assume
There wasn't too much left in the upper room
With skins on his back and hair on his face
They thought he was strange by the locusts he ate
The pharisees tripped when they heard him speak
Until the king took the head of this Jesus freak

(repeat chorus 2x)

People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger
People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger

(repeat chorus 2x)

What will people think
What will people do
I don't really care
[what else can I say]
There ain't no disguising the truth
[Jesus is the way]


Unfortunately, I can't find a good copy of the Jesus Freak video on YouTube, but you can visit the video at YouTube on your own... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbB0QrBIs9k
