"Jesus Is My Friend"

This video is making the rounds (h.t. Jene James). You must see it to believe it! A perfect marriage of pop rock and Pelagianism!
There are metal (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FfzvJmWln8) and chipmunk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAG-JVDJPd0) parodies as well--although its hard to parody a parody.
Here's yet another reason why I don't miss the evangelical subculture of my youth.

Actually, the lead singer looks like a young Mormon -- Donny Osmond.

If they would swing there hips less, and button up their shirts more, but mostly change the words!, it could be mightily improved.
I visited a church once where there was a similar praise band, but made up of people in their seventies. The music was orthodox, but it was a bit uncomfortable watching them pretend to be teenagers.

He taught me how to live, my life as it should be.

I've had friends before, and I can tell you that, He's one who will never leave you flat.

He taught me how to pray, and how to save my soul.
He taught me how to praise my God and still play rock and roll.
The music may sound different but the message is the same.
It's just the instruments who praise His name.

Once I tried to run, I tried to run and hide.
But Jesus came and found me and He touched me down inside.
He is like mountie, He always gets His man, and He'll zap you any way he can.
Zap.

He loves me when I'm right, He loves me when I'm wrong.
He loves me when I waste my time by writing silly songs.
He loves me when I'm quiet and I have nothing to say.
He'll love me when I'm perfect if I ever get that way.
Whooo!

Which reminded me of a local RC church-also called Our Lady of Perpetual Help. One day I was going by it on my way somewhere--and I noticed the last "P" had fallen off their sign--thus making the church-Our Lady of Perpetual Hel. I was amused.
