Fave Christian tunes for a light Friday read

Evangelical Oupost has a list of his 99 favorite Christian songs up for his Friday entry (based on the notion that no one really wants to read anything serious on a Friday).  I was really gobsmacked to see that the list is dominated by newfangled tunes, all but one appearing to be products of the last 500 years or so.  (The Spiritus Domini introit came in at #38 on the countdown.)   Whippersnappers; I’m surrounded by whippersnappers.  Next thing you know, it’ll be A Hip-Hop Lent by 50 Cent.

Givin’ up butter;
Man, I’m givin’ up meat.
But I still got my gat,
Don’t you f… wit’ me.
Unh-unh-unh-unh.
Don’t f… wit’ me.

(Yes, I have taken all the tests for determining spiritual gifts.  Mine is “stodginess.”)
