About six years ago I started preaching every February about the spiritual and emotional issues raised in songs nominated for song of the year a the Grammy awards. this year is the first year to do it with mosaic life and there is just so much to explore. Jesus walks by kanye west if I ain’t got you Alcia keys, the reason hoobastank, and heaven Los lonely boys.

kanye west’s is up first. he straight up calls the church out for not speaking Jesus to the world and being the presence of god to the lest of these

I ain’t here to argue about his facial features
Or here to convert atheists into believers
I’m just trying to say the way school need teachers
The way Kathy Lee needed Regis that’s the way I need Jesus

and and hip-hop world for being hypocrites for rapping about any and everything but God.

So here go my single dawg radio needs this
They say you can rap-about-anything except for Jesus
That means guns, sex, lies, video tapes
But if I talk about God my record won’t get played, Huh?
Well let this take away from my spins
Which will probably take away from my ends
Then I hope it take away from my sins
And bring the day that I’m dreamin bout
Next time I’m in the club everybody screamin out
(Jesus Walks)
it begs the questions who did Jesus walk with? and who does he walk with today?

stay tuned
