I have never actually seen an episode of American Idol. But I heard about the song this morning on Relavent Radio. The AI producers felt like they needed to take the name "Jesus" out of the first line of the song. It's supposed to be "My Jesus, My Savior" and they replaced it with "My Shepherd, My Savior." Interesting, because a few lines later the song says: "Mountains bow down and the seas will roar at the sound of Your name." At the sound of who's name? If only I could figure out who this song is about! I guess we'll never know.
Even still, I agree that it's cool they did it at all.
