Christians can be a bit much.
You may know/be someone who's a "Jesus freak."
Privately and publicly obsessed with God,
Always trying to see God in everything and such.
Jesus freaks are definitely something,
And I am one of them.
It's a good thing to be.
I think you'd agree if you knew what we were.
See, now Jesus radiates brighter in our lives,
But, if you'd met us a few months/years ago,
You would have put us in different categories,
And not good ones, I assure you.
We were control freaks,
Ashamed and anxious,
Broken and burdened,
Depressed and drowning,
Not many of us were wise by human standards,
Not influential or of noble birth.*
So, you see, we were freaks even then,
Only the hopeless and helpless kind.
That’s why, now that we have new life,
We get lost in Jesus.
He is our Living Hope and a healthy obsession.
I highly recommend you taste and see for yourself.
Anyway, that’s why I am a proud Jesus freak,
Since I met Jesus, I've been really and wholly living.
Oh, that you would taste and see!
Oh, that you’d know and share this hope!
*1 Corinthians 1:26-30 NIV: Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise... so that no one may boast before Him. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.
