I just heard this song just now today Sept 31/24 hardest Christian song I ever heard 95 " I was not who I am today! Glad I found my way back😊 ! Yeshua Saves !
Fun Story: When I was a kid growing up in the 90's, me and my brother used to play this song on the juke box every time we went to Pizza Hut. There was this one dude that worked there with long hair who would headbang to it every single time we played it. If you're still out there Pizza Hut Jesus freak and see this comment by chance, keep on rocking it dude. As for me, I still rock out to this song every time I hear it. Proud Jesus freak here.
I just introduced my little brother to this song. I was first introduced to it by a teacher in elementary school by my favorite teacher. He was just as moved by it as I was.
This song was so ahead of its time. It will probably go down as the best Christian rap/alternative song. The message still connects to people 25 years later.
When I was in high school I carried a small Bible to school with me and I was known as the Jesus Freak. Years later, my daughter's friend gave her the DC talk CD with this song on it. I loved it! I am now 72 years old and I still play these songs.
I got saved during high school. I was a Satanist and a drug dealer at my high school. And I got invited to a ministry group that didn’t judge me for having hair down to my shoulders and earrings (this was back in the 90’s)… I got radically saved!! And this album helped me through so many questions. I have since gotten a degree in education and a Masters degree in Apologetics… and have been blessed to help hundreds of people come to know the Lord. Thank you for sharing your faith. It’s been a blessing to more people than you can genuinely know!!
Just discovered this song it is now my favorite song. I’m new to the Christian world and out music just helps worship alone so amazing. I love this song
A few of my favorites: Rich Mullins (Greatest Hits) Paper Boys (Our god Reigns) Amy Grant Jars of Clay Stephen Curtis Chapman (Great Adventure) Hills Song - (Lots of songs) There is lots of great stuff out there. I hope you enjoy.
Many years ago I was your typical rebellious teenager and some friends invited me to a youth teen church event this band was playing at. I was never religious back then but on that night I got saved and have never looked back. I will always remember that day, thanks to this band that helped me see the light.🙏
Yes! Also one one of their later albums, it wasn't as good as an album as this one was as a whole but one of its songs was beautifully done. If my memory serves me correctly I think it was called Red Letters.
@@skilz8098 I think the Supernatural album is underrated. Songs like Dive, My Friend So Long and Supernatural are all top notch songs. Red Letters as well. Kevin also has a spoken poetry track at the end called Treason at Sea.
WOW!!!! 63yrrs old grandma here. Been searching for tunes about Jesus, but most are not my cup of tea. Haha Then suddenly this cool tune finds its way onto my phone! Love it! Thank you. And I will be sharing this with ppl.
My husband just took our 11 year-old daughter to see TM in Hartford. She came home and promptly added this and several other songs to her playlist. Love that he's still reaching people after so many years
Remembering Toby Mac and his family as they mourn the tragic loss of their firstborn son and brother. May the God of all comfort sustain them during this most difficult time.
I'm totally a Jesus freak, a prodicle son who is on fire again after being saved in 1990. HE WILL finish the good work HE started in you until the day of Christ Jesus, God ALWAYS keeps HIS promises! I'm a living testimony to that!!!!! Praise Jesus!!!!
In 1995, DC talk came to Cape Town, South Africa for a concert. I was a kid and went along with the youth group. Half way through the set they let us know that they wanted to try something a little different (as in a little different from their hip hop stuff..love is verb etc). They proceeded to unleash this tune. It went off. Pandamoium broke out ( in a Godly way) and we (like David) danced before the Lord with all his might, sans the priestly garments. What a track....
Not to pick nits, but I believe David danced around in his underwear... I'm pretty sure his wife wasn't happy about that either, as she said he was making a fool of himself. 😂
I seen them live at 6 Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ around 1995-96. This album was the biggest hit going on. Then Jars of Clay released their self titled album another good hit and a year or two later Skillet and Newsboys came along. And Petra was also at 6 Flags that day. There was a third group and I'm not sure but it might have been White Heart or something like that. Great times!
1993 was the year. The contemporary christian genre didn't exist. This was played in the mainstream top 40's radio stations. They won several dove awards and in my opinion amongst the best contemporary christian artist. Them and Jars of Clay and The Newsboys.
Don’t be afraid of being a Jesus freak. this world will end but if your a Christian you will live forever with Christ. Hold fast even thought trials may come, pain is temporary but God is forever.
2020: No shame...no regret...no fear of this wicked world through the hope and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ...the Light of the World. Hallelujah He has set me free. Who else?
Why are Christians against abortion? God loves abortion. He's all for crushing babies heads on rocks and killing children with bears....shouldn't you try to be like god?
I Have to say back in. The 90s we all thought Dc Talk was the greatest thing ever and we thought they were a sign Christian music was going to get even better . But no , after they left Christian music fell into shambles . They’re not even trying and DC TALK REMAINS UNDEFEATED AS THE BEST CHRISTIAN BAND OF ALL TIME !
well I have disagree. I think Christian music was good all the way 2000. I remember hawk nelson . Elevenseven was petty good and forefront of neon pop punk. DC talk is likely the best post grunge band of all time. what Unique about Christian pop punk band that where innovated and sound truly their own. When I make rock music I can cite influences form Christian pop punk bands. as for dc talk I am not sure what bands cite then as influences.
Upper room is where Christ had the last supper. Upper room also means your head. So saying nothing much left in the upper room, they're saying he's kind of dumb
My favorite group of all time. Toby was always my favorite, love Michael and Kevin’s voice is a true gift from God. It was a big part of the signature of their sound
idk bro, harmonically speaking it's pretty out there. Jumps around the key center quite a bit while also coming in context of the song with a batshit crazy tone. It is pretty dog gone impressive... Not complex or hard to play, but wacky and dope as nuts.@@brandonthompson8413
Promoted this band in the 90s, and it was the greatest thrill of my life. This song exploded the roof of Hisense arena when they toured in Melbourne. And why wouldn't it? The message is even more profound now than it was then given the state of our world today.
This is one of the greatest albums of all time, and I don’t even listen to a lot of Christian music. All their voices are great and unique, and the instrumentation is top notch and extremely catchy. The fact that a “boy band” used real instruments with amazing musicians is a feat in itself. They managed to make a Christian album that spoke to the masses, and you can truly feel the lyrics. They’re not shy about being Christians, and also bring up issues of race and culture
Serving God doesn't mean you will be free of trouble. You serve God because he knows what is best for you. I serve God because I trust and you should too. I don't want Satan taking you down with him.
Powerranger6342 please explain this whole satan thing because he’s barely even mentioned in the Bible, and definitely not in the way you’re describing in your religion.
jordan secrist what's your deal, why did you even come here? And you're sounding really stupid saying Satan wasn't mentioned in the bible because he went by many names.
Im 22, about to turn 23 in 4 days. I love 90s-2010s rock. Where was this song when I was a kid! Im just now hearing it today from a friend (She's Jewish Messianic, im Christian). I'll be binge-listening to this one for a good while! This song has so much meaning. In seeing a lot of fights, misunderstanding, turning away, etc from non-believers in my life and this song fits so well. Me and my friend are Jesus freaks despite all the resistance and bullying we've tolerated. Still trying to learn everything I can about Jesus/God/The Bible that has helped me learn so much in the past year or two. ✝️✝️✝️
Trying to learn everything about the infinite One that's funny. I'm still getting revelation @ >67yrs young. He give u the things relevant to who u you are & what His intended your purpose for you is
I'm not even a Christian nor have I ever and have followed them since Nu Thang album and went to concerts and still listen to this day to DC-T and all solo albums etc......my point is talent is talent and there's no denying that!
@@Peaslepuff I'm curious: I myself grew up in a Christian family, (and I still consider myself Christian now that I'm an adult,) which meant that I gained the knowledge to understand biblical references pretty easily. My question would be, do you understand most of the references made? And if so, by what means did you learn about those things? (I pretty much only hear about that type of stuff in Christian environments so I'm curious how it works from your perspective)
@@rubikvoncube3583 I grew up Christian and understand the references made. Probably the same way Christians do? For me it's from church, Christian school, bible studies, and reading the bible at home. Since I became agnostic (around 15) I have taken 2 college classes on the bible because I enjoy learning about it and its history. Existing in such a Christian culture, even if you're atheist you still interact with Christians a lot...just by hanging out with your friends. I think most people in the US have some percentage of Christian friends
@@Peaslepuff HI, I just wanted to share this bible verse with you. Psalm 14:1-2 (KJV) The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. I hope you know how much God loves you!
I listened to this song when I was a kiddo waiting outside in the car for my mom to hurry up her last few mins of work, and at 37 I still listen to it! Jesus freak all the way!
As a young Believer of 26 years of age I'm always on the search for new Christian Music artist to listen to like Colton Dixon, Danny Gokey and Jamie Grace. Yet, the soul always comes back to what originally ignited the spark that the Holy Spirit breathes into a Flame that makes us burn for God. As a child going into my pre-teen years I heard DC Talk and TobyMac singles on the radio and 'Jesus Freak' is one of the songs that really made me bold, passionate and unashamed for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It's because of the old school music acts like DC Talk, Petra, Steve Green, White Heart, Amy Grant, Hawk Nelson, Newsboys (Peter Fuller), Switchfoot and Third Day that I am the Christian that I am today. God really can capture the heart with his mysterious Grace and music is truly a powerful medium between Heaven and Earth that draws the hungry yearnings of Humanity to the broken Bread and spilled Wine that flows from the cisterns of Jesus on the Cross, satisfying the cravings of the Human heart. Music is a Universal language and God is a cosmic entity whose love is eternally Universal.
Ryan Sinclair if you´re trying to find something new, try Skillet and POD, these two are also Christian bands and man, they really have balls.. very powerful and also quite hard music, with God inside.
Ryan Sinclair - very prolific you are. Thank you for sharing your faith. You are but a bit older than my youngest daughter who also entered the pre-teen years with DC Talk, Newsboys, and the like. And yes, music is a Universal language and God is a cosmic entity whose love is eternally Universal. I do hope you don't mind if I quote your last line on my page. Thank you!
Jesus is the light in a dark world! Jesus is my Friend no matter what people think or say about me because Jesus Christ is the way , the truth, and the life. John 14:6
Told the family the truth about my call to serve Him. When they heard how, they rejected me- like those who rejected Him on golgotha. Pray for me and my mission all you generous children of the light as i will pray for you!
God is in everything. He is in every blood cell of our being. Lacey has such an amazing way of showing her love for our Father. Uff this song could bring an atheist down to their knees in repentance. God has always been here, now and forever. God loves the most stubborn too. I am a Jesus freak.
I'm a Jesus Freak and I'm proud because there is nothing in this world that i could lose that will ever amount to what we receive from Christ Jesus our Lord.
"Until the king took the head of this Jesus freak" That part gives me chills every time. Jesus said we would suffer for him, but that shouldn't stop us from being a Jesus freak. Love it.
Hard to fathom the how someone who was behind a song like this would years later come out identifying as a socialist and anarchist believing in a "universal Christ".
First time I heard this song I had to replay that verse a few times. Peaked by ear the moment they sung "by the locust he ate", that they are talking about John the Baptist
@@joshd.godfroy4761 oh man, Carman! I loveddddd him too. It was a revolving music fest between Newsboys, DC Talk and Carman when it came to Christian music.
I remember (a few years back) I was sitting at our dining room table doing a bible study, then, all of a sudden Jesus spoke directly to me saying "I'm your friend". I immediately started crying, and that is one of the reasons I know it was real. . . I am a very emotional person, so whenever the Lord says something sweet like that to me, it brings me to tears. I normally try to hide my emotions from others because I'm "too sensitive" for most people, but not for Jesus, and I am so thankful that I can freely cry out to him, my best friend, at anytime. ❤
@@nunyabizz8516 If it did, that shows how simple minded the religion is. No evidence, no good rationale...just people saying others should repent and they go "durr okay" lol. It just shows how susceptible people are to anything. It's why people like the Food Babe exists...just say surface-level statements and you'll have somebody somewhere buy into it.
+wolfie498 We live on the same earth, with the same fossils, the same plants and animals, in the same universe, and with all the same EVIDENCE as you do. We have the same facts. You and I just interpret them differently because of presuppositions and bias. Someone with a biblical view looks at a person and sees a unique person that was created by God, while a secular humanist looks at a person and sees a randomly formed pointless creature. If you were looking for an example of EVIDENCE there is no body. Jesus rose from the grave and defeated death. There literally is no body found anywhere.
“You see the Pharisees tripped when they heard him speak, until the king took the head of this Jesus Freak.” Is he referring to John The Baptist? Because he was beheaded.
This is the most blasphemous and wicked thing I’ve ever seen. If You’re into this please I encourage you to repent and pray and ask the father to forgive you and bring you out of deception
I love this song! Me and my dad where in the car listening to one of my many Tobymac CDs .... My dad then pulled out a D.C talk CD and said "this is Toby too!" My new favorite
I was a 90 teen and not a believer. My best friend believed in some things about the Bible but not everything, and her older brother was a strong Christian. He would always blast this song and other Christian alternative songs, especially in the car when he drove us places. My friend and I would smirk and laugh about this song when we got out of the car, but here I am a believer now and very fond of this song.
I don’t care what people think !!! Jesus defines me ! Paid my price and I am a JESUS FREAK !!!

@@zedasilva3 The Upper Room, in the New Testament, is where Christ and his disciples held the Last Supper.
Upper room is where Christ had the last supper. Upper room also means your head. So saying nothing much left in the upper room, they're saying he's kind of dumb
How did I never get this until now 🤯
This tune is HEAVY.
most ppl don't know about it they just know the newsboys band
4:14 Anybody got any idea how to do that on a guitar?
Ahahhahahaah
I thought it sucked

This millennial approves, it was a personal favorite of mine as a kid. It's a timeless banger!
Ready for what?
My favorite group of all time. Toby was always my favorite, love Michael and Kevin’s voice is a true gift from God. It was a big part of the signature of their sound
I agree. Toby is amazing but without Michael or Kevin, he's just Tobymac. Haha. They were truly a talented, musical trio
That's got to be one of the sickest guitar solos of the 90's! Goosebumps all over!
I'm guessing you haven't heard many guitar solo's from the 90's. This doesn't even crack the top 200 probably top 500..
idk bro, harmonically speaking it's pretty out there. Jumps around the key center quite a bit while also coming in context of the song with a batshit crazy tone. It is pretty dog gone impressive... Not complex or hard to play, but wacky and dope as nuts.@@brandonthompson8413

I'm confused. There isn't a guitar solo in this song. Do you mean the bridge where they play the dissonant chords?
Promoted this band in the 90s, and it was the greatest thrill of my life. This song exploded the roof of Hisense arena when they toured in Melbourne. And why wouldn't it? The message is even more profound now than it was then given the state of our world today.
2020, any Jesus Freaks out there!
✋i am
✋right here!

🖐yes there is🙏
Yup
This is one of the greatest albums of all time, and I don’t even listen to a lot of Christian music. All their voices are great and unique, and the instrumentation is top notch and extremely catchy. The fact that a “boy band” used real instruments with amazing musicians is a feat in itself.
They managed to make a Christian album that spoke to the masses, and you can truly feel the lyrics. They’re not shy about being Christians, and also bring up issues of race and culture
My Bible has the words 'Jesus Freak' engraved on it. This song had an impact.
God I loved this era. So raw
Serving God doesn't mean you will be free of trouble. You serve God because he knows what is best for you. I serve God because I trust and you should too. I don't want Satan taking you down with him.
Powerranger6342 right on brother he knows what is best for you and will often use tribulations to bring you closer to him
Powerranger6342 You have to take up a cross and follow. It certainly is not a popularity contest. Im heavely persecuted.
Jim Chumley I bet it makes you feel really good about yourself to think you’re so persecuted.
Powerranger6342 please explain this whole satan thing because he’s barely even mentioned in the Bible, and definitely not in the way you’re describing in your religion.
jordan secrist what's your deal, why did you even come here?
And you're sounding really stupid saying Satan wasn't mentioned in the bible because he went by many names.
Im 22, about to turn 23 in 4 days. I love 90s-2010s rock. Where was this song when I was a kid! Im just now hearing it today from a friend (She's Jewish Messianic, im Christian). I'll be binge-listening to this one for a good while!
This song has so much meaning. In seeing a lot of fights, misunderstanding, turning away, etc from non-believers in my life and this song fits so well.
Me and my friend are Jesus freaks despite all the resistance and bullying we've tolerated.
Still trying to learn everything I can about Jesus/God/The Bible that has helped me learn so much in the past year or two.
✝️✝️✝️
This is the most wicked and evil blasphemous thing I’ve ever seen. What is wrong with you.
I thought messanic Jew & Christian are the same.
Trying to learn everything about the infinite One that's funny. I'm still getting revelation @ >67yrs young. He give u the things relevant to who u you are & what His intended your purpose for you is
Keep on being a Jesus Freak
Anybody want the link to my Christian music group w Metal n rock posted
For me this song is still one of the best Rock Gospel Song that i ever heard of.
Same here
I have the VHS live cassette tape .
The entire album.
This music is timeless!
THESE WORDS ARE JUST AS POWERFUL
TODAY AS THEY WERE WHEN I WAS A NEW CHILD OF GOD❤❤❤❤
I'm not even a Christian nor have I ever and have followed them since Nu Thang album and went to concerts and still listen to this day to DC-T and all solo albums etc......my point is talent is talent and there's no denying that!
Yeah I'm an atheist now, but this still slaps and the writing is excellent
@@Peaslepuff I'm curious: I myself grew up in a Christian family, (and I still consider myself Christian now that I'm an adult,) which meant that I gained the knowledge to understand biblical references pretty easily. My question would be, do you understand most of the references made? And if so, by what means did you learn about those things? (I pretty much only hear about that type of stuff in Christian environments so I'm curious how it works from your perspective)
@@rubikvoncube3583 I grew up Christian and understand the references made. Probably the same way Christians do? For me it's from church, Christian school, bible studies, and reading the bible at home. Since I became agnostic (around 15) I have taken 2 college classes on the bible because I enjoy learning about it and its history. Existing in such a Christian culture, even if you're atheist you still interact with Christians a lot...just by hanging out with your friends. I think most people in the US have some percentage of Christian friends
@@Peaslepuff HI, I just wanted to share this bible verse with you. Psalm 14:1-2 (KJV) The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. I hope you know how much God loves you!
@@mischr13 Hello. I'm a Christian and I wanted to recommend a channel thats on you tube. It's called... Living Waters. And it's with Ray Comfort.
I listened to this song when I was a kiddo waiting outside in the car for my mom to hurry up her last few mins of work, and at 37 I still listen to it! Jesus freak all the way!
The word Saviour occurs 37 times in the KJV Bible.
@@thevulture5750 cool 😎
As a young Believer of 26 years of age I'm always on the search for new Christian Music artist to listen to like Colton Dixon, Danny Gokey and Jamie Grace. Yet, the soul always comes back to what originally ignited the spark that the Holy Spirit breathes into a Flame that makes us burn for God. As a child going into my pre-teen years I heard DC Talk and TobyMac singles on the radio and 'Jesus Freak' is one of the songs that really made me bold, passionate and unashamed for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It's because of the old school music acts like DC Talk, Petra, Steve Green, White Heart, Amy Grant, Hawk Nelson, Newsboys (Peter Fuller), Switchfoot and Third Day that I am the Christian that I am today. God really can capture the heart with his mysterious Grace and music is truly a powerful medium between Heaven and Earth that draws the hungry yearnings of Humanity to the broken Bread and spilled Wine that flows from the cisterns of Jesus on the Cross, satisfying the cravings of the Human heart. Music is a Universal language and God is a cosmic entity whose love is eternally Universal.
Ryan Sinclair i'm 15 and a Christian
Ryan Sinclair if you´re trying to find something new, try Skillet and POD, these two are also Christian bands and man, they really have balls.. very powerful and also quite hard music, with God inside.
Ryan Sinclair - very prolific you are. Thank you for sharing your faith. You are but a bit older than my youngest daughter who also entered the pre-teen years with DC Talk, Newsboys, and the like. And yes, music is a Universal language and God is a cosmic entity whose love is eternally Universal. I do hope you don't mind if I quote your last line on my page. Thank you!
I'm a year younger and I always fall back on dc talk and Toby Mac too :) good stuff!
try the band Bride. from late 80s to early 2000s. great christian rock band. i love them
Team Jesus requires the freak in us. God bless our freak messes with the love of Jesus Christ and forever life.
2022, any Jesus freak out there??? 🔥🔥🔥
The fans or the lunatics.
Jesus is the light in a dark world! Jesus is my Friend no matter what people think or say about me because Jesus Christ is the way , the truth, and the life. John 14:6

God is in everything. He is in every blood cell of our being. Lacey has such an amazing way of showing her love for our Father. Uff this song could bring an atheist down to their knees in repentance. God has always been here, now and forever. God loves the most stubborn too. I am a Jesus freak.
I'm a Jesus Freak and I'm proud because there is nothing in this world that i could lose that will ever amount to what we receive from Christ Jesus our Lord.
Hannah Brown are you Hannah Brown on The Bachelorrette?
Michael Pritchett 😂😂 I’m sorry to say that I have never been on the bachelorette
What do we receive from jesus?
"Until the king took the head of this Jesus freak" That part gives me chills every time. Jesus said we would suffer for him, but that shouldn't stop us from being a Jesus freak. Love it.
Hard to fathom the how someone who was behind a song like this would years later come out identifying as a socialist and anarchist believing in a "universal Christ".
First time I heard this song I had to replay that verse a few times. Peaked by ear the moment they sung "by the locust he ate", that they are talking about John the Baptist
He should have also mentioned that his followers would inflict far more suffering.
My favorite line is " Kamikaze My Death Is Gain. I've Been Marked By Maker In Peculiar Displays."
The reason people like this song so much is that it is about facing persecution and keeping your faith through it
Wendy Domino Amen. If the good Lord doesn’t tarry I hope to be in a cell with the likes of them. ❤️
Here because of Jesus Freaks TV! ❤
I don't really care if they call me a Jesus freak I love this song.
I'm proud to be a Jesus Freak! Grew up on this song!! ❤✝
I am as well, let them know, help them know who he is

As someone who also grew up on this song, I’m proud to not believe in god.
Amen..... Me too.

This deserves more views honestly. Such a good song, with an excellent message behind it.
That replay button is sure gonna get some activity!Great song.
You ever think about how this was literally the peak of Christian music? Or is it just me?
95 was an amazing year for music all around. Alternative, RnB, pop, they were all killing it
Personally I think when John Mark McMillan came around Christian music was revived it’s just that no one knows about him.
Christian screamo was popular in the late 2000s and early 2010s such as For Today, Underøath, and The Devil Wears Prada
Yeah, but how bout Carman? He had some rock too. I'm a be 33 this month! Music like this feeds my soul with Jesus! And refills me each day!
@@joshd.godfroy4761 oh man, Carman! I loveddddd him too. It was a revolving music fest between Newsboys, DC Talk and Carman when it came to Christian music.
I remember (a few years back) I was sitting at our dining room table doing a bible study, then, all of a sudden Jesus spoke directly to me saying "I'm your friend". I immediately started crying, and that is one of the reasons I know it was real. . . I am a very emotional person, so whenever the Lord says something sweet like that to me, it brings me to tears. I normally try to hide my emotions from others because I'm "too sensitive" for most people, but not for Jesus, and I am so thankful that I can freely cry out to him, my best friend, at anytime. ❤
No longer Servant-----
I call You FRiend!
One of the songs that set me on the Christian path in my late teens/early twenties...
After I revisited this 20 years later I now realize this is the band that led me to discovering metal, still a banger!
😂 same. I am a Jesus freak now. But brings back so many good memories
Great, but did this song lead you to Jesus????
@@nunyabizz8516kcuF jesus
@@nunyabizz8516 If it did, that shows how simple minded the religion is. No evidence, no good rationale...just people saying others should repent and they go "durr okay" lol. It just shows how susceptible people are to anything. It's why people like the Food Babe exists...just say surface-level statements and you'll have somebody somewhere buy into it.
@@510tuberwell you clearly haven't done your research. There is an abundance of evidence. It would take me forever to get into it
For they know we are Christians by his love this world is full of Jesus freaks and that's awesome
I dont really care if they label me a Jesus freak.
Jesus Saves!
So grateful to have this song and all the music from dc talk now decades later ✝️🙏🏻💜
i used to listen to this before i was truly walking w Christ. this song is so much better now that my eyes are opened
Gen Z here. Some of the best Christian music is the old stuff. Parents raised me to appreciate this stuff!
Fuckin a!
I'm a proud Jesus Freak. I don't care what people think. Jesus is the way.
Had this song stuck iny head 24/7 and happy to have it 😊
This is a classic Christian song praise god
I was born in 2010 but I heard this song once at a newsboys concert last year and I’ve been playing it on repeat since.
After all these years this is still a Christian Anthem
Its an idiot anthem, idiot.
wolfie498 You need Jesus
You need to grow up child. In fact at least a child has EVIDENCE for the tooth fairy. You've got nothing for your stupid fairy tale.
+wolfie498 We live on the same earth, with the same fossils, the same plants and animals, in the same universe, and with all the same EVIDENCE as you do. We have the same facts. You and I just interpret them differently because of presuppositions and bias. Someone with a biblical view looks at a person and sees a unique person that was created by God, while a secular humanist looks at a person and sees a randomly formed pointless creature.
If you were looking for an example of EVIDENCE there is no body. Jesus rose from the grave and defeated death. There literally is no body found anywhere.
+Cunfuzled Pikachu Llamma That was a very long winded way to prove my point.
JESUS FREAK. I'm ONE!!! Much love, Robert Duggan ⛪️ ❤️
Still sounds great!❤
I can never grow old of this song! Out to the Jesus Freaks!!!
“You see the Pharisees tripped when they heard him speak,
until the king took the head of this Jesus Freak.” Is he referring to John The Baptist? Because he was beheaded.
@@arcticangel1628 yeah, it's John the Baptist
27 years later, adult now, and this song is still one of the best I’ve ever heard.
I can't like the comment bc it has 69 and that's the bruh number
This is the most blasphemous and wicked thing I’ve ever seen. If You’re into this please I encourage you to repent and pray and ask the father to forgive you and bring you out of deception
Completely agree with you. For me, it is the 2nd best Christian song of all time and the 33rd best song of all time in general.
Yes, I still love this oldie, but goodie❤❤❤ !
I love this song!
Me and my dad where in the car listening to one of my many Tobymac CDs ....
My dad then pulled out a D.C talk CD and said "this is Toby too!"
My new favorite
all praise and glory to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords - thank you, Jesus - you changed the world forever
Mike M AMEN! Cool comment!
Amen! thats right
amen.
You don't even have to be a Christian this song still goes hard
Turning 50 in two weeks - still a Jesus Freak!
I was a 90 teen and not a believer. My best friend believed in some things about the Bible but not everything, and her older brother was a strong Christian. He would always blast this song and other Christian alternative songs, especially in the car when he drove us places. My friend and I would smirk and laugh about this song when we got out of the car, but here I am a believer now and very fond of this song.
Your friend’s older brother set a good example for you guys. Good for him
I love this memory you shared
