Excuse me, but did they just sing Shout to the Lord on television?

Wow! I’m never really one to watch American Idol. (I think I’ve seen 3 episodes in my life). But this video clip on YouTube caught my eye. I’ve heard this song by Darlene Zschech (bio-story) at my church (and on the radio) before, but did not expect to see it show up on American Idol, YouTube, and all over the blogosphere.

Josh Harris thought they watered down the lyrics, but maybe you have a new attitude, and it gives you something to shout about.

My Jesus, My Savior
Lord there is none like You
All of my days, I want to praise
The wonders of Your mighty love
My Comfort, My Shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship You!

Shout to the Lord, all the earth
Let us sing. Power and majesty, praise to the King.
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name
I sing for joy at the work of Your hands
Forever I’ll love you, forever I’ll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You!

You can download an MP3 of the song from Amazon.

    Only HE does know our hearts. I wouldn’t want to sing “My JESUS, My Savior…” if I didn’t understand and believe. Why would Hillsongs want to force anyone to do so? It is nice to have it available for download. I know what is in my heart when I sing along, no matter what the words actually are.

    Thanks Gina. I think it’s cool. Like wow!

    It’s just like the prophet Habakkuk said:
    “For the earth will be filled
    with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord
    as the waters cover the sea.”
    – Habakkuk 2:14

    Ruby User Groups (RUGs, for short) are typically informal organizations put together to encourage Ruby developers with certain areas to get together, share ideas, and, often, to have some fun. If you're lacking for inspiration or want to get to know some Rubyists within certain parts of the world (or just around the corner, if you're lucky), headin […]
