"Jesus Freak" is a well known Christian song by [[dc Talk]]. It is one of their most well-known songs. The song is about the 1970's generic term which was meant to insult [[Christian]]s. dc Talk frontman [[Toby McKeehan]] said that when he was looking up the word "freak" in the dictionary, he saw an entry that said "ardent enthusiast".
 
 
===Lyrics===
 
 
What will people think
 
When they hear that I’m a Jesus freak?
 
What will people do
 
When they find that’s it’s 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 I’ve 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
 
 
What will people think
 
When they hear that I’m a Jesus freak?
 
What will people do
 
When they find that’s it’s true?
 
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
 
 
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 won’t 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
 
 
What will people think
 
When they hear that I’m a Jesus freak?
 
What will people do
 
When they find that’s it’s true?
 
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
 
 
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
 
 
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)
