well in case you’ve missed the it this past week...american idol closed out it’s “idol gives back” evening with a performance of one of the top praise and worship songs of all time, “shout to the lord”. this song was made famous years ago when worship leader darlene zschech recorded it on the “shout to the lord” album for integrity music. it’s now one of the most popular worship songs of all time, and tops the most popular worship songs of all time as the #1 praise and worship.
that’s big news. i will say i was sorta bummed because they took out the word “jesus”. the opening line should be “my jesus, my savior”...and instead, they sing “my shepherd, my savior”. wimpy?!!! BUT...
i’m blown away that this song was on american idol. i have no idea what the motives were, what deals were made, but one thing is for sure, even with the lyric change, I praise god that his name was glorified on what appears to be the “biggest tv show on the planet”. and if you watched the results show they then added "my jesus". so that was a pretty amazing moment for that song and for tv. i pray it somehow reached 1 of the 70 million people watching...
if you missed it, here it is...
