American Idol Finalists Sing Shout To the Lord!

American Idol surprised me again - Praise God!

If you watched Idol gives back last night, you too were blessed by the sound of American Idol finalists singing Shout to the Lord as the shows climax moment. But, even if you are not an American Idol enthusiast, I’m sure you can still appreciate the idea that millions of people were sitting at home last night, all with their hearts lifted up to Jesus, if just for a moment.

You know, I just sat there on the edge of my seat. All of them dressed in pure white, and many of them not just singing, but it was obvious that they were worshiping!

How much of an impact can that make?

Well, how many children and teens really do idolize the American idols. So, how much of an impact can hearing them with their voices lifted to the Lord really make - A pretty big one.

On top of that, though when we look around America, it is hard to tell, most Americans do believe in God. In fact, a large number of them believe in Jesus. The issue is that they have no connection or relationship with Him. But, to interrupt their daily routines and just open up a small window for the Lord to jump in and whisper to their heart, “I’m still here and I still Love you…” That is indeed priceless.

I want to share that video here for those of you who did not get to see it. Since it is only the day after the American Idol Shout to the Lord performance, the quality of the only video that I could find isn’t the best. But, you can still see the sincerity on their faces and watch as the confetti falls from the sky.

As an extra bonus, I’m also post Mariah Carey’s Idol Gives Back performance of her new song, Fly Like a Bird. Just a few of the lyrics of this song:

Fly like a bird
Take to the sky
I need you now Lord
Carry me high
Don’t let the world break me tonight
I need the strength of You by my side

Sometimes this life can be so cold
I pray You’ll come and carry me home
Carry me higher, higher, higher
Carry me higher, higher, higher
Carry me home
Higher Jesus
Carry me higher Lord

I hope that these performances bless your heart as much as they blessed mine. Christians in America have been praying for a revival in our country. It’s little things like this that prove that God is quietly at work bringing it to pass…
