Jesus Freak Lyrics
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
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 I divorced
I saw a man with a 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
Now he stood on a box in the middle of the city and he claimed he had a dream
What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus freak?
What will people do when they find that it's true?
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
There ain't no disguising the truth
No I ain't into hiding 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
But I won't live and die for the power they seek yeah
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 make 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 from the locusts he ate
All the Pharisees tripped when they heard him speak
Until the king took the head of this Jesus freak
What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus freak?
What will people do when they find that it's true?
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
No I ain't into hiding the truth
People say I'm strange,
Does it make me a stranger
My best friend was born in a manger?
People say I'm strange,
Does it make me a stranger
My best friend was born in a manger
What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus freak?
What will people do when they find that it's true?
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
What will people think (what will people think?)
What will people do (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)
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
That comes back in my darkest of dreams
Been apprehended by a spiritual force
And a grace that replaced all the me I divorced
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
Now he stood on a box in the middle of the city and he claimed he had a dream
What will people do when they find that it's true?
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
There ain't no disguising the truth
No I ain't into hiding the truth
I've been marked by my Maker, a peculiar display
The high and lofty, they see me as weak
But I won't live and die for the power they seek yeah
The sand that he walked was also his bed
The words that he spoke make 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 from the locusts he ate
All the Pharisees tripped when they heard him speak
Until the king took the head of this Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true?
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
No I ain't into hiding the truth
Does it make me a stranger
My best friend was born in a manger?
People say I'm strange,
Does it make me a stranger
My best friend was born in a manger
What will people do when they find that it's true?
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
What will people do (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)

This is my favorite song on their new album. I love the line "People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger that my best friend was born in a manger?"
This song is actually a DCtalk song, added to the new album mainly because of the switch to Michael Tait, who was originally on DCtalk. I love the song nonetheless, and the rap on the second verse is talking about John the Baptist.
