PnWS iSSUE 4 - JESUSFREAK

THANKS for tuning in. I don't know what to say, but your support for this blog is deeply appreciated!

In this iSSUE, we will look deeply into the term "Jesusfreak" mentioned by both Mr. TobyMac, and DCTalk. Well, I actually did some homework to look out for the definition of the word "freak".

FREAK - noun: someone who is so ardently (what's that?) devoted to something that it resembles an addiction
ARDENTLY - adverb: in an ardent manner (duh. of course, but what does it mean?)
ARDENT - adjective: characterized by intense emotion. Example: "Ardent love" (AHH... *blink blink*)
you can look out yourself from www.onelook.com.

Mr. Chris Tomlin will be in the limelight too, ladies and gentlement... *loud applause + fiufi~~* Mr. Tomlin will further exemplify the freakiness of Mr. Toby and DCTalk through this song "How Great Is Our God" and my personal favorite, "Indescribable". Kind enough, Mr. Tomlin will also give us some tips on writing great worship songs... remember to stay till the end ya.

Sounds like a jammed pack iSSUE, without further ado, here's TobyMac, Get this party started!!

Get This Party Started - by TobyMac

Everybody everybody in the place to be / Open up your mind and let your soul be free / I can feel the Most High shining on me, so ... / Let's get this party started / Everybody everybody in the place to be / Open up your mind and let your soul be free / I can feel the Most High smiling on we, so ... / Let's get this party started / Blind-sided by the blitz / Come on baby it's on / I couldn't wait to get on this / You ain't no quiet storm / I'm gonna tell it like it is / There ain't no stopping us now / Somebody shut me up so I can live out loud / Them people thought I was gone / It's been a long time comin' / But straight out the box / We got the dark side runnin' / So Father, Most High won't You show Yourself / And shine on this record like nobody else

Boomin' - by TobyMac

I've been around the way / I've been around the block / I got the keys to the city if the gates are locked / And a freak like me ain't ‘bout to stop / I got a hand full of dreams and a heart full of God

Everywhere we go they wonder where we're from / Well its diverse city ya'll welcome to come / It sits high on a hill you can see it for days / And even if you can't you can hear our praise / We go ...

'Cause we're boomin' out the stereo system / This goes out to anyone listening / Boomin' out the stereo system / Here to rep the most high with this one / Boomin' out the stereo system / This goes out to anyone listening / Boomin' out the stereo system / 'Cause we rock for sure in stereo



If you're looking to slide, come slide with us / And if you're looking for a ride, it's a big old bus / We got black folk, white folk and Middle East / Mexican, Filipino - Jesus Freaks / Got a Haitian / Princess, an Aussie Mate / East Coast, Midwest to left side of the states / And when the bus rolls, it’s out the dirty south / Tennessee and we keepin' it good and loud we go

I got portable sounds to lift me up / Portable sounds to take me higher / Portable sounds to lift me up / So don't even try to get in my head

Jesus Freak - by DC Talk

Agreeing with Mr. TobyMac, DC Talk explains why we are Jesus freaks with songs and words. The song is kinda freaky though... but hey... Check out the cool speech at the end!

How Great Is Our God - by Chris Tomlin

The splendor of the King / Clothed in majesty / Let all the earth rejoice / All the earth rejoice / He wraps himself in light / And darkness tries to hide / And trembles at his voice / And trembles at his voice / How great is our God / Sing with me / How great is our God / and all will see / How great, How great is our God / Age to age he stands / And time is in His Hands / Beginning and the End / Beginning and the End / The Godhead, Three in one / Father, Spirit, Son / The Lion and the Lamb / The Lion and the Lamb / How great is our God / Sing with me / How great is our God / and all will see / How great, How great is our God / Name above all names / Worthy of our praise / My heart will sing how great / Is our God

Indescribable - by Chris Tomlin

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea / Creation's revealing Your majesty / From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring / Every creature unique in the song that it sings / All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable, / You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name. / You are amazing God / All powerful, untamable, / Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim / You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go / Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow / Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light / Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night / None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable / You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name. / You are amazing God / All powerful, untamable, / Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim / You are amazing God / Indescribable, uncontainable, / You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name. / You are amazing God / Incomparable, unchangeable / You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same / You are amazing God / You are amazing God
