Popular Christian Songs Transposed with ET

[Captain.Theophilus]

The other day I was listening to one of my favorite songs "For the moments I feel faint," by Relient K. This song speaks powerfully of Jesus' ability to save and heal during hard times, as well as his infinite power to redeem even the worst of circumstances. The chorus has been a very inspirational song to me for many years.

It goes like this:

For the Moments I feel faint-

Never underestimate my Jesus
You're telling me that there's no hope, I'm telling you you're wrong
Never underestimate my Jesus
For when the world around you crumbles, he will be strong he will be strong

While I listened to it, I started thinking what it would be like sung representing ET. Here's what I came up with:


"Never overestimate my Jesus,
You're telling me that there's no hope, I'm saying you're right on!!!
Never overestimate my Jesus,
For when the world around you crumbles, he'll be withdrawn, he'll be withdrawn

and then the bridge:

"I think I can't, I think I can't
and I know you can't I know you can't
I think I can't, I think I can't
And I know you can't I know you can't"

"Gather my insufficiencies and wait for my judgment,
wait for my judgment...
wait for my judgment...."

That's the masterpiece I came up with, inspired by ET.

There's a few others:

In Christ Alone:

In Christ alone true fear is found
He is my pain, my grief, my judge
This broken stone, this feeble ground
Unable to just drop a grudge

What heights of hate
What depths of fear
When fears loom large
When strivings rear

My torturer
my dictator
here in the wrath of Christ I fall



How Great is our God

"How harsh, is our God
sing with me how harsh, is our God
and all will see how harsh,
how harsh is our God.

Pain above all pain
Fear above all fear
My heart will sing how harsh, how harsh is our God

My Life is in You, Lord

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tIcfsewDb0

My death is in you Lord,
My dread is in you Lord,
My doom is in you Lord!!
In you it's in you!!
(repeat)

And I will fear you for all of my life
And I will fear you with all of my strength
With all of my life--
With all of my strength--
All of my fear is in YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUU!!!!!



What can you come up with?

[Colleen]

Lol
Come thou fount of every cursing
Tune my heart to doubt thy grace
Streams of torture, never ceasing
Call for screams of loudest praise

Ok
I'm
Outta here.

[misszoolander]

ET Version:
Hark the herald angels sing
"You better fear the newborn King!
Weeping on earth and mercy limited
God and the elect reconciled"
Misery, all ye nations rise
Join the horror of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"You better fear the newborn King!"

Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Misery!
Hail the Son of Condemnation!
hellfire and brimstone to most he brings!
Ris'n with fiery judgement in His wings
Wrath He lays His glory by
Born that man now heaps may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give his sinners eternal hell
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Fear the newborn King!"

UR/Original Version-
Hark the herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled"
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"

Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings
Ris'n with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"

[Lazarus Short]

OK, I'm in:

What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.

Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.


Living though you're dead, in the burning flames,
Being in the everlasting Hell;
What a cursedness, what a misery,
Being in the everlasting Hell.

Being, being, burnt and bleeding from all my wounds
Being, being, being in the everlasting Hell.
