ANY MEANS NECESSARY!!!!!!!!!!

OK so I didnt watch American Idol last night, Astros were on , but I heard about it. On KSBJ, our Christian radio station in H-Town, they were talking about it this morning. Apparently, the contestants sang "Shout to the Lord", but they took out the first two words "My Jesus" and replaced it with "My Shepherd". This troubled some folks at first, because, in my opinion , they are the most important words in the song.
If you think about other religions, they can refer to their "god" as lord, shepherd and god. We as Christian know there is only ONE true GOD and no matter how many times Oprah says there is "Jesus isnt the only way" we know she is wrong.
I think the reason they took out "My Jesus" is because NO OTHER religion can refer to their "god" as Jesus!
MY JESUS is the only way. MY JESUS is the only true tower of refuge and strength, MY JESUS is the ONLY one that mountains will bow to and seas will roar to at the sound of HIS name. MY JESUS is the only Savior, MY JESUS is the only comforter, MY JESUS is my only shelter. MY JESUS is the power and majesty praise to MY JESUS, MY KING!!! and I will sing for joy at the work of MY JESUS' hand, FOREVER I'll love MY JESUS my favorite part... "NOTHING COMPARES TO THE PROMISE I HAVE IN YOU.... MY JESUS"
Oprah cant promise me anything eternally, yes she gives money to people in need, but as scripture says, "not by works so no one can boast" Ephesians 2:9
My prayer is the American Idol contestants song last night will be a spark for us Christians to share the TRUE words to the song but more importantly the TRUE GOD the song is for and about. so, today at work, school or wherever we are, let us SHOUT TO THE LORD.....but sing the right words, starting the song ( as we should start our day) with MY JESUS...MY SAVIOR....here are the words for you.

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.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY!!
