D.C.-TALK

Jesus Freak  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 a tattoo 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 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  Cause 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 tought he was strange by the locusts he ate  The Pharisee's tripped when they heard him speak  Until the king took the head of this Jesus freak  (Chorus)  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  (Chorus 2x)  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)  Colored People  Pardon me, your epidermis is showing, mister I couldn't help but note your shade of melanin I tip my hat to the colourful arrangement Cause I see the beauty in the tones of our skin  We've gotta come together and thank the maker of us all  CHORUS: We're colored people, and we live in a tainted place We're colored people, and they call us the human race We've got a history so full of mistakes And we are colored people who depend on a Holy Grace  A piece of canvas is only the beginning It takes on character with every loving stroke This thing of beauty is the passion of an artist's heart By God's design, we are a skin kaleidoscope  We gotta come together, aren't we all human after all?  (Chorus)  Ignorance has wronged some races And vengeance is the Lord's If we aspire to share this space Repentance is the cure  Well, just a day in the shoes of a color blind man Should make it easy for you to see That these diverse tones do more than cover our bones As a part of our anatomy  (Chorus) In The Light  I keep trying to find a life On my own, apart from you I am the king of excuses I've got one for every selfish thing I do  CHORUS:  What's going on inside of me? I despise my own behavior This is only serves to confirm my suspicions, that I'm still a man in need of a savior  I wanna be in the Light as You are in the Light I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens.  Oh Lord be my Light and be my salvation 'Cause all I want is to be in the Light,  all I want is to be in the Light  The disease of self runs through my blood It's a cancer fatal to my soul Every attempt on my behalf has failed To bring this sickness under control  (Chorus)  Honesty becomes me (There's nothing left to lose) The secrets that did run me (In Your Presence are defused) Pride has no position (And riches have no worth) The fame that once did cover me (Has been sentenced to this earth) Has been sentenced to this earth  (Chorus)  Wanna Be Loved  A rainy Monday afternoon There's a funk over the city Everybody's movin' to a different tune Some are weak And some are strong And some are sittin' pretty Then there's others who are barely hangin' on  It's no easy situation People livin' in their separate worlds But one thing that we've all got in common is  We all wanna be loved We all want just a little respect We all wanna be loved Tell me what's wrong with that  I've never heard a dying soul Wish that he had taken More time on his portfolio I swear, I've never heard a Mama say Should've never had that baby As a Doctor holds her newborn on display  It's the heavenly prescription A little bit will go a long, long way Just put yourself in their position, don't  We all wanna be loved We all want just a little respect We all wanna be loved Tell me what's wrong with that  Faith and hope are worth a mention But love is holding its position... cause  We all wanna be loved We all want just a little respect We all wanna be loved Tell me what's wrong with that
