Apparently, the studio-recorded-version of “Shout to the Lord” as recorded by the American Idol contestants for the “Idol Gives Back” fundraiser DOES include the word “Jesus” instead of “Shepherd” – it was just the LIVE version that they changed the first phrase.
Interesting decision made by someone.
Interestingly tonight when they did a repeat performance they did sing “Jesus”.
I was amazed that they performed this song and used the name Jesus and Lord!
