American Idol Top 8: Brooke White, David Archuleta, Kristy Lee Cook, David Cook, Carly Smithson, Jason Castro, Syesha Mercado and Michael Johns.

After ending Idol Gives Back on Wednesday night with an edited version of Shout to the Lord, substituting “shephard” for “Jesus,” the American Idol top 8 opened the show tonight with the original lyrics.

This is one of my all time favorite worship songs, and it never fails to move me when we sing it in church.

View the original lyrics and both videos below.

My Jesus, my Savior, Lord, there is none like You;
All of my days I want to praise the wonders of Your mighty love.
My comfort, my shelter, tower of refuge and strength;
Let every breath, all that I am, never cease to worship You.

Chorus
Shout to the Lord, all the earth, let us sing
Power and Majesty, praise to the King;
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name.
I sing for joy at the work of your hands,
Forever I’ll love You, forever I’ll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.

Shout to the Lord, all the earth, let us sing
Power and Majesty, praise to the King;
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name.
I sing for joy at the work of your hands,
Forever I’ll love You, forever I’ll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have…
Nothing compares to the promise I have…
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.
