Get your freak on! This thread is for those who enjoy Jesus Freak Music. Born and raised in a Jesus freak cult wasn't all bad. I gained a deep appreciation for Jesus Freak music that has endured with me to this very day. There are so many bands in this genre that were never really appreciated for what they were, and unlike a lot of modern day CCM, really did represent some of the best music out there in the period. Some of my favorite bands/artists include "Phil Keaggy", "Pressed Down, Shaken Together & Running Over", "Selah", and perhaps my favorite, "All Saved Freak Band". Admittedly, this isn't a genre I've explored thoroughly (nor throughly), there's just too much out there, but I feel I got a handle on some of the most radical. What are some of your favorites?
Here's a classic from Pressed Down that I put up on Youtube myself to get us started. If you dig Crosby, Stills and Nash (and Young), I think you'll dig this band:
Lyrics:
All the little children of today face tomorrow
on the wings of dreams and the coat-tails of our lives.
All their questions deserve answers
Little cowboys, little dancers
Need the light of understanding in their eyes.
Now's the time we must get honest.
The hour is upon us
We've got to show the little ones the way of life.
They are willing with hearts burning
and they'll have no problem learning
if we take the time to teach the words of life.
Their hearts are open and their thoughts are new
Trusting every word we say
Their eyes will follow everything we do
Let our example light the way
Lead the way.
All the little children need God's love
They need the words to rise above
We've got to teach them not to fear
And in the coming years
They'll turn around and teach their children to love.
Innocent believing
pure life they'll be receiving
their precious little hearts are in our hands.
And we if we teach them from the Bible
They'll be sure to live a life full
of the promises of love from God to man.
Their hearts are open and their thoughts are new
Trusting every word we say
Their eyes will follow everything we do
Let our example light the way
Lead the way.
All the little children need God's love
They need the Word to rise above
we've got to teach them not to fear
And in the coming years
Turn around and teach their children to love.
All the little children need God's love
They need the Word to rise above
We've got to teach them not to fear
and in the coming years
they'll turn around and teach their children
All the little children need God's love...
