Great job. I miss the Jesus part, but then I thought how many people would bash this if it did include that? MANY more would. They did superbly, and the fact that it could have been a prayer straight to God, Jesus, Allah, or whatever religion that the children would be praying from somehow makes it stronger throughout the world, instead of just to Christians. Either way, they did spectacularly. :) Stop acting like jerks and pray humbly, you 'Christians'. Jesus loves all. <3
I cannot believe how beautiful this is!! I have heard this song before and loved it every time, but this was absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for posting, I LOVE it!!
Thanks for the video upload, was a great experience. BryNet1028: If you knew our principle and the shit we went through with our school before hand, you would not test him at graduation, plain and simple. -Jeff
The thing is, I should not be ashamed at all because if it was up to me, we would have sang it the correct way. Instead of you attacking me, maybe you should take it to the world. Because having to change the words of such a fabulous song only came about after the world became so anti-religious and politically correct. The only reason the words were changed was because of the principal of our school insisting upon it because the school is public- not private. that is what the world has come to.
I was not attacking anyone. Just simply stating that the words of this Prayer should not have been changed. You sang "Angry God...) so why not "Cry JESUS help Me:? God should not be a apart of this "politically correct" world we live in. You guys sang the song extremely well, and I applaud you for your performance. So now I guess your principal needs to grow a backbone and stand up for what is right, and what is not "politically correct". Never back down from what is right. Period....
@sonshine446 I'm singing this song come this this winter and my school isn't a private one and we are singing it the "correct" way. So i don't see why yours had to.
And, the fact that the words had to be changed should, in no way, take away from the beautiful performance. These boys are phenomenal singers. And no lack of words will take away from that. They all sang the right words in their hearts. Maybe you should just rejoice in the fact that you know and love the correct words instead of attacking others.
the only reason they sang it like that was because some people don't believe in jesus, and to make other people NOT get offended they made the words more universal. they are the ones singing it, not you, and if they want to make stylistic changes, that's up to them.
I agree that the words should not be changed. its ridiculous that the public schools have become what they are. take God out of schools and they will only get worse. this reminds me of the valedictorian whose mic was shut off when she tried to share her testimony with her class at her graduation. Is it not discrimination to Christians to not let them talk about what they believe in? It goes both ways...the "politically correct" school system contradicts itself.
i dont even believe in god at all..and i dont have a problem with singing about praising god haha...maybe its cuz i wasnt raised to not blieve in god..idk..but some people who dont blieve in god..hatee it when when people who look dwon to then..so i see no sense in looking down to someone who does..its there choice not really my problem haha
This has to be one of the best videos of this song posted. I had listened to all just to realize how good these young men are. Their intonation, clarity of words and feelings transmitted in this performance deliver the message of the song. I wish you could stay as a quartet, for this past 2 years had been great. I know Capu and Tom will do some barbershop singing while at FSU. Any one out there has a video of them singing the Duke of Earl?
I know! Aren't they wonderful?! I actually do have a video of them doing Duke of Earl. I will post a link to my facebook and its on there. if you cant get it on there, i will try to get it up on youtube!
You guys have no Idea the effect this piece had on the audience, and the graduates sitting behind you all. You brought hardened hearts to tears and left a permanent imprint in all others. I definately will never forget these few minutes, the perfect culmination of four years of toil at such an outstanding school. I love you all, Capu, Josh Carr, Jeff, Tom, I hope everything goes wonderfully for all of you.

Personally, I find the song much more powerful without the "god" part in it. It sounds more desperate and pleading.

The Words are "Cry JESUS Help Me"...NOT "Cry who will help me"...You should be ashamed to change the words of this great song. I am disgusted !!!!!!
