10 Jesus Pop Song Lyrics Will Guarantee Your Kids Won’t Go To Hell

hey-i-just-met-you-and-this-is-crazy-jesus-208931

I have a vivid memory of singing praise songs in youth group in middle school. As with any nondenominational, evangelical church in South Texas in the 90s, the youth group was all about being “cool” and “rad” and “teen-friendly.”

How did they accomplish this, you ask? How did my youth group get asses in the seats? Well, it wasn’t with purity pledges or discipleship classes, though those happened with regular frequency. It was with ultra-clever Jesus lyrics substituted into our favorite pop songs so that we could praise with abandon and without guilt. Totes genius.

I am still a Christian, so I’m not making fun of Christians. I’m just making fun of organized religion that can’t seem to think outside of the box. I also don’t appreciate getting brainwashed into thinking that regular music is of the devil, but thank God we had these Jesus pop songs to see us through.

If you think my experience is unique, it isn’t. My husband went to a different Baptist Church in South Texas in the 90s and provided me with all of his Jesus pop songs to compare with my own. For your enjoyment and to guarantee your kids won’t go to hell, I’ve compiled a comprehensive list. Make sure to hack into your kid’s iPod and swap out Miley Cyrus with the Blurred Lines Christian Remix to save their soul.

NOTE: Some of these songs may be dated, but I was a teenager in the 90s, people! What more do you want from me?

1. Lynyrd Skynyrd: Sweet Home Alabama

Sweet home up in heaven, where the sky is so blue. Sweet home up in heaven, Lord, I’m coming home to you.
