You won't hear this one on the radio, and you won't hear this in church either... [url=http://youtube.com/watch?v=qR8AR3heu-w]Brave Saint Saturn - Under Bridges {youtube -music only) [/url]Yesterday while walkingBeneath an overpassI saw the figure of JesusStanding barefoot on broken glassHis beard was grayingSmell of urine filled the airAsking if I had some changeAnything that I could spareEmaciatedHis shaking fist balled upInfluenza and pneumoniaBegging God to take his cupSo different from his picturesBreathing air through yellowed tubesJesus Christ, dying of AIDSCan look right through youAnd all have hatedCrucified and walked awaySavior of the prostitutesDrunkards, rapists, and the gaysUnder Bridges,With hands raisedFrom the ghettosThey praise His nameBroken, crippledIn the dark of nightRaise your voicesTo Jesus ChristHallelujah

I don't know too much about Acquire the Fire. I don't know if they are worldly or not. At first glance I think they might be. However, if such is the case, they are not much more different than your typical Southern Gospel quartet. Especially of the Bill Gaither variety. Now if you want to see some worldly Christian singers, tune in for your Gaither Homecoming Classics sometime. Oh, their worldliness is not as overt, because they aren't dressed like a punk band. But the level of showmanship put into each performance is just the same, even if less flashy wearing a 2 or 3 piece suit. It's amazing how Christian our discernment really is.
