This is the one hundred and twenty-sixth installment in the Songs of Sacrilege series. This is a series that I would like readers to help me with. If you know of a song that is irreverent towards religion, makes fun of religion, pokes fun at sincerely held religious beliefs, or challenges the firmly held religious beliefs of others, please send me an email.
Today’s Song of Sacrilege is Amazing Grace by Chase Holfelder. Holfelder changes the lyrics a bit on the second verse. Some Evangelicals were outraged over his sacrilege
Love this guy’s covers. If you get a chance, take a look at his cover of The Police’s Every Breath You Take.
I have been following Chase for a while now. I absolutely love his voice, and his arrangements of upbeat songs into a minor key are pure genius. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
I’d also suggest giving his Abolitionist version of “My Country Tis of Thee” a listen. It’s powerful.
