idol gives back

so, ashlee and i watched the last 2 songs on idol gives back last night, which were mariah carey and the people who are still on the show. we were really surprised that the last song they sang was "shout to the lord"!! it was really surprising, sort of a nice shock. what was not nice (o.k., it was bad) was that they changed the 1st line from "my Jesus, my Savior" to "my Shepherd, my Savior," they just totally took Jesus out from it, which is the whole point of the song!! they never said Jesus at all. of course, the song was about Jesus, which they totally took out of it, but since they changed that, you could substitute anyone in there. this is part of our sick society and the work of the devil trying to take Jesus out of our culture and our lives, when that's the only thing we need that'll save us, we need Jesus. i also wonder how many of them actually know what they're singing or actually believe it. they're singing "nothing compares to the promise i have in You," and how many of them actually have that promise?? so, that's my opinion, they did a nice job, their voices are a beautiful gift from God, but you can't sing a song like that without Jesus! i would have been fine if they had left Jesus in, but since they took Him out, there's my problem. it's wrong.
oh, i just thought of this, it sort of goes with the barlowgirl song, "keep quiet." here are the lyrics-

keep quiet
written by barlowgirl

oh the things i've sacrificed
so that i could bring You to this world
i want them to see You in me
but Your name just keeps them far from me

so i'll keep quiet
let's hope they see i'm different

Jesus, Jesus, how Your name offends us
why are we so scared to tell this world You've saved us
when all of the hope of the world's in Your name
why are we so scared to say
oh Jesus

if i avoid to speak Your name
tell me would You do the same to me?
if relevance becomes my goal
tell me will i loose You to it's hold?

but if i keep quiet
they'll never see i'm different

Jesus, Jesus, how Your name offends us
why are we so scared to tell this world You've saved us
when all of the hope of the world's in You name
why are we so scared to say
oh Jesus

i'm sorry i cared about my name more than Yours
i'm so sorry, how could i hide You anymore
but if i keep quiet
they'll never see i'm different

Jesus, Jesus, how Your name offends us
why are we so scared to tell this world You've saved us
when all of the hope of the world's in Your name
why are we so scared to say
oh Jesus
