Story behind the song
It was during the decade of the 80's (the mid 80's to be exact) when i penned this song. I was a young Christian in my mid twenties and i was on fire and passionate about my relationship with the lord Jesus Christ! During that era, you would always hear the term "those people are fanatics" or "Those Christian Fanatics" The secular world would say that about Christians who were serious about their walk with Christ! Those who were lovers of the truth and lived by a righteous standard and were not ashamed of the Gospel or ashamed to be a sold out witness for the lord. The world thought that the term "Fanatic" would put us to shame or cause us to be embarrassed by calling us Fanatics! Well, that only caused the flames that burned within me to rise to a new level, and it also inspired me to write this song in defense. and to proudly admit "YES" i am a "Fanatic" and i'm not ashamed of it!! Because everybody is a "Fan" of something or someone. Fan's of Athletes, Celebrities, Singers, Entertainers, Musicians, Actors, and the list goes on... So if i'm going to be a Fan of someone, it may as well be someone whose worthy of my total loyalty affection! "JESUS" and i wanted to shout it from the highest mountain top that i am a "Fan" or "Fanatic" about my lord and Savior. So i was one who welcomed and embraced the term "Fanatic" because i saw it as a real compliment that separated me from all of the Christians who were ashamed to be called a "Fanatic" I was so excited about the way that i felt, that i had to put it into the words of a song simply titled "FANATIC"
