"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".

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

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
