Lyrics:
The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today
Is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips
Then walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle
That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable
What if I stumble?
What if I fall?
Is this one for the people?
Is this one for the Lord?
Or do I simply serenade for things I must afford?
You can jumble them together, my conflict still remains
Holiness is calling, in the midst of courting fame
Cause I see the trust in their eyes
Though the sky is falling
They need Your love in their lives
Compromise is calling
What if I stumble, what if I fall?
What if I lose my step and I make fools of us all?
Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl?
What if I stumble, and what if I fall?
What if I stumble, what if I fall?
You never turn in the heat of it all
What if I stumble, what if I fall?
Father please forgive me for I can not compose
The fear that lives within me
Or the rate at which it grows
If struggle has a purpose
On the narrow road you've carved
Why do I dread my trespasses will leave a deadly scar
Do they see the fear in my eyes?
Are they so revealing?
This time I cannot disguise
All the doubt I'm feeling
What if I stumble, what if I fall?
What if I lose my step and I make fools of us all?
Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl?
What if I stumble, and what if I fall?
What if I stumble?
Everyone's got to crawl when you know that
You're up against a wall, it's about to fall
Everyone's got to crawl when you know that (2x)
I hear You whispering my name [You say]
"My love for You will never change" [never change]
What if I stumble, what if I fall?
You never turn in the heat of it all
What if I stumble, what if I fall?
You are my comfort, and my God
Is this one for the people, is this one for the Lord?

I am a brand new Christian and just found this group. WOW!!!

[@WhiteMamba814]

Been listening to these guys since I was about 4-5 years old in the 90’s and early 2000’s. Seen them live many times.

[@drfletcha]

Welcome ❤

[@hanni5862]

I'm not a Christian anymore, but I loved this band when I was 12...❤

You Don’t know how lucky you are to be hearing these guys for the first time lol.

[@blancaromero1843]

Congratulations welcome to the fam

[@daniellekrammel4211]

This song meant so much to me in my 20s. I stumbled so much as a new believer and made a ton of mistakes. 20+ years later, by his grace, I am married to a godly man and raising a child to love the Lord.

[@brendongeorge73]

I love g song t

[@vanderhoff80]

One of my favorite songs. We all stumble from time to time! But Jesus always is there and picks back up!🙏

[@DJK-cq2uy]

I think this song was written to confront the prosperity gospel preachers so very prevalent today in Evangelical circles. Their shallow message disheartened me to the point where I was about to abandon my faith. But I repented.

[@ulisesfitzgerald6557]

Where is Jesús?

[@waydebrooks8056]

As a musician this song is so amazingly arranged. Tait sets the table and Toby is silky smooth in his part and the point counter point with Tait is sweet. Kevin nails that chorus with a little help from Tait and Toby. One of my favorite songs of all time.

[@bluejulie6814]

Mine too Wayde!👍 You described it perfectly!

[@lemmixxxshow1044]

We are all entitled to our own opinion, but only a Fool would argue with your observation. 👍

[@brendaross3961]

Simply beautiful truth..... 💯

[@RyanCesario]

Great, great song

[@StRaphael-we9qn]

Hi there, this band played a big part in my conversion to Catholicism. Jesus wants a total conversion to God's will.😮

[@alejandraventura996]

Kevin’s vocals tho 😭😭😭😭 they are just so perfect

[@shadowedge729]

sucks he’s not christian anymore

[@barbaraturner40]

What if I stumble… he can come back❤

[@marisa5359]

Love his vocals. Praying for him.

[@mariamorgan9817]

Pray for Kevin. He's stumbling now. God still loves him and will draw him back. Thinking about him not following God seriously makes me want to cry. I just read about it this morning as I was getting my daughter's lunch made for school. It broke my heart! I've been praying for him all day. God please being Kevin back to You!

[@GuitarNTheCar]

​@@mariamorgan9817God gives us free will. God is not going to force anyone to come to, or return. We can pray that he returns, but everyone makes their own choices.

[@MrTruckman1971]

Yep, we are getting old. Hehehe

[@vanessaveiga9257]

26 because I’m the same age as this song lol

[@melaniejackson8932]

My absolute favorite! Attended the "Freakshow" concert (4th row) in NJ. We took our 2 grade school kids with us. During the hour-long drive to the venue we had decided we wouldn't tell them where we were going and surprise them. As soon as my 10 year old son saw a vendor with t-shirts, he performed his own "Freakshow" with excitement right there in the lobby! Then he wouldn't sit throughout the whole concert. Today both of our children are in their 30s and have the "Jesus Freak" playlist on their phones. Kevin had the "nerve" to ask the audience to excuse his voice because he was recovering from a cold. I thought "Absolutely not! I've been waiting too long to hear one of the most identifiable voices in Christian music!" LOL

[@brendalisaguerrero5609]

Always brings chills to my body. POWERFUL.

[@doublehockeystix]

100%!

[@kennytashro3072]

Truth

[@williamwinsor8726]

So true this song is so good I saw them live yrs ago at a Billy gram concert and met them it was amazing

[@DJK-cq2uy]

Ooooh yeah. This describes much of what we see in Evangelastic Christianity today. TV and radio evangelists. Sad to think of how their reduce sincere Christians to fodder for ridicule and laughter. Need to pray for them..wisdom and love of God

[@julietalamantez7803]

Dc talk will always be favorite. These young men.devoted there lives to Jesus Christ. Forever dc talk fan. Don't care what world says about them

[@lpattenaude1716]

Probably devoted to themselves? Self god

[@chedderbug2820]

@2:40 Listen carefully to the words Kevin sings. Now, about 30 yrs later , our brother in Christ has stumbled hard and chose turned away. You can hear him whispering., " how you gonna help me up now"

[@Zackdabest]

I’m a year sober but this song has resonated with me the past year. Just the “What if I stumble? What I fall?” This songs helped a lot this past year

[@christinemclatchie]

[@matthewcrowson4397]

Its hard to witness to old friends thats seen me in my addiction and chaos.All I can do is pray for em..

[@dnjdhhyyrygtubcgcfct]

I purchased this CD after leaving rehab many years ago. I was a hard rocking alcoholic. These songs helped me to continue my sober path. My daughter 15 yrs. old got in the car today, and put on a Christian song. I said look up Jesus Freak, and that is how I'm on their channel today.

[@scottboyte]

Matthew don’t let what happened in your past deter you from what you can do in your future. With God you have overcome the things in your past. Use it to your advantage. You understand addiction and there are those who are currently battling addiction that need Jesus who can relate with what you went through. I know I don’t know you but I’m proud of you for overcoming addiction and even if you still struggle I’m still proud that you are working towards a better version of yourself. If you ever need to talk or someone to pray with feel free to message me.

[@eurekasquared9853]

Don’t let the devil fill your mind with such thoughts. Live your new life to the fullest and let them see the change in you. Pray for them and let God do the rest!

[@christinemclatchie]

@@eurekasquared9853 AMEN!

[@AlEtteso]

Thank you God for this band. It helped me to become openly Christian in a time where it wasn't cool, and people were made fun of.for that, and largely ostracized by their peers. Thank you for not deserting although I denied you in my youth. It's interesting that this type of coming out is never talked about or recognized, but society applauds coming out as LGBTQ. Our modern society applauds evil and hates good. Christians are hated. As the Bible says in the last days good will become evil, and evil will become good.

[@christinemclatchie]

Very true words ❤

[@ardentgailla]

That's amazing. They're still my favorite, too.

[@derekyoung8112]

I should take note that you should feel EXTRA honored because South Africa is not only where Tobymac wrote the lyrics for 'Jesus Freak', but he says that he tried out the chorus on the audience at a gig there before he was even finished WRITING the song!

[@leemcneese6760]

In middle school our youth group took us to see DC Talk at reunion arena in Dallas. It was the Jesus Freak tour. We were in the nose bleeds. I couldn’t say which member it was that did a stage dive, but when he got back on stage he was short a shoe. He asked if the crowd could get it back up to him. They waited for a bit and the crowd started chanting “GIVE IT BACK!” I think he said something about it being really important because it had a prescription insole in it. When the concert was over we met the rest of the youth group back at the bus. They did a quick headcount and 1 was missing. About the time we figured out who was missing the boy came scampering up the bus steps in a really weird posture. He was all hunched over and avoiding the gaze of all the chaperones as he scrambled to the back of the bus. Once he was safe in the back of the bus he was giddy. We asked him what his deal was. He said that he had snuck down from the nosebleeds and made his way down to the “mosh pit”. We were like no way, how would you have gotten passed all the security? He said fine I’ll prove it! I got his FLIPPIN’ SHOE! He pulled the shoe out from under his shirt and held it up for everyone at the back of the bus to see. We joked about writing the singer letters from his shoe or even a block letter ransom note. That kid was a mid nineties Dennis the menace.
