Jesus Freak

What will people think
When they hear that Im a jesus freak?
What will people do
When they find thats 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 Im a jesus freak
What will people do when they find that its true
I dont really care if they label me a jesus freak
There aint no disguising the truth

Kamikaze, my death is gain
Ive 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 wasnt 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 Im strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger
People say Im 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 think]
What will people do
[what will people do]
I dont really care
[what else can I say]
There aint no disguising the truth
[jesus is the way]

How bout "Holy to the Lord" across the back of your neck/top of shoulders in the centre?

That'd be pretty groovy.

Check out the SA song book - i think chorus of song #623, last line says 'stamp thine own image deep in my heart'

If you can 'tatt' your heart with Christ's image that would be great.....but you can't tatt your heart I hear you say.....well don't worry about the tatt crap....make sure every part of life totally radiates Christ and you don't need a tatt.

Sorry totally against tatts (and silly eye piercings too!!!)

Your friend now departed from Ridley.

i cant believe you said that kathleen! I had that idea ages ago and had forgotten about it!

and anon, maybe i could tattoo the gospel all over me so i actually do radiate Christ all the time... holiness isnt just about actions or heart, its also about cool tshirts, bumper stickers and of course tattoos that dont wash of... lol
