There was a lot of buzz the last couple of days over the song “Shout to the Lord”, sung by the American Idol contestants Tuesday night. The first line was changed from “My Jesus, my Savior” to “My Shepherd, my Savior”, which generated much discussion on the web. The iTunes version that was released had the line with “My Jesus” in it.
And tonight, on the results show, they performed it again, with the name of Jesus, right there in the opening of the #1 rated prime-time show. Kinda makes me wonder who decided to change it back, and why. However it happened, it was pretty cool seeing Jesus praised in prime time.
