I was stuck watching
Nick Jr with Jackson when a commercial came on for
Worship Jamz 3
. This is one of those CDs out now where you have a bunch of kids sing songs that you already know. I usually laugh out loud at some of the songs they choose, cause the words sound just silly coming from an 8 year old's mouth. This is especially true when I know the song is about getting high on drugs, breaking up with a girlfriend, or masturbating. Any ways, this CD has kids singing classic church songs with contemporary arrangements. There was just something really wrong about hearing Amazing Grace or The Old Rugged Cross set to a techno-pop beat. Then again, the only way I like to hear Amazing Grace is either a capella or on Scottish bagpipes. Anything else just doesn't cut the mustard with me.

Here is a wonderful version of Amazing Grace by Chris Tomlin:

It's mostly piano and he adds a great chorus to it. He even includes the original last verse.
