"Jesus, you make me feel like a spiritual woman..."

My fingers just about didn't let me type that. Me and my fiance have been working at a local farmer's market the past couple of Saturdays and they have live "entertainment" if that's even what you could call it. Well we have been blessed with the singing abilities of one woman, God bless her soul but she's terrible! And my main beef with her is that she takes "secular" songs and puts Jesus in them just to make them "spiritual." And its not pretty, in fact the funny part is that she sings her made up words while her split soundtrack echoes the correct non-spiritual words, making for one huge mess of a song.

Heres the deal, I cannot stand it when Christian musicians try to be cute and take a regular love song and change it all around to Christian lyrics and then try to pass it off as spirtitual now. And as I write this I am realizing that the puppet team at my church has several of these style tapes where its like Elvis type vocalists singing, "Don't step on my heavenbound shoes." And then all the Baby Boomers at church laugh and clap along and think wow how clever. No its not clever its annoying and I'm really singing and thinking about the original lyrics to the song. And yes that song was inspired by drugs, not Jesus, so put your hands down now!

So please musicians, song writers, praise team leaders, unless Whoppi Goldburg is leading your choir in a bad neighborhood, leave the Billboard charts ALONE!
