There are so many more, but you get the gist. I think I read that in a Tiffany Reisz book. вЂњI donвЂ™t know how, bu thereвЂ™s power when IвЂ™m on my knees.вЂќ Oh, Jaci. Yes, this song was SUPPOSED to be about prayer, but not a single person (young or old) can keep from snickering every time some very serious twenty-something in a too-big blazer opens her mouth wide to sing вЂњI get on my knees.вЂќ ItвЂ™s a classic. JamesвЂ™ abstinence mantra had an unwitting nemesis, it was this inadvertent tribute to premarital oral. (And if you donвЂ™t listen to any of the rest of these videos, at least watch this one because itвЂ™s hilarious to watch her fantasy future husband open a music box with her dancing in it.) I still remember the poor 15 year old girl who sang this at our churchвЂ™s True Love Waits weekend and missed that modulation. It would be this testament to future spouse love and second virginity. If Stephenie MeyerвЂ™s books had a theme song, it wouldnвЂ™t be Paramore or Muse. (Is that old guy with the long hair and the umbrella supposed to be God? I donвЂ™t know, but I am not comforted by his sudden appearance.) Exhibit D: Rebecca St. Katy Hudson sang this song one too many times for Sunday night prayer service and it eeked its way in Unconditionally. SheвЂ™s also super sweet and totally gorgeous. ItвЂ™s better than 90% of country and 99% of pop singers recording now. There are lots of vids of this song, but I picked the original album cover because thatвЂ™s Retro Avalon with the original members (JODY!!!) and they are the only ones I accept, questionable sexuality and everything.

I was most likely wearing wide-leg, jersey knit, khaki cargo pants. Somewhere out there in the internet there are videos of me and Bekah (separately) singing this song. And she does an awesome Peter Gabriel cover of In Your Eyes. Nichole Nordeman wrote some of my favorite songs 15 years ago. LetвЂ™s not even talk about how cute it is that this song was written for a Veggie Tales movie. Exhibit A: Nichole NordemanвЂ™s Beautiful for Me But if you have ever heard (or had to sing for offertory) any of these, you canвЂ™t help but be gobsmacked at how churchy it sounds. It smacks of CCM (thatвЂ™s Contemporary Christian Music for those of you not raised with your own Zondervan NIV) and Sparrow Records. The several syllable word stretched into an entire chorus. The вЂњreal you on the insideвЂќ schmaltzy lyrics. And the first time you heard Unconditionally on the radio you were 100% sure someone had switched your presets to K-Love. You were in roughly 3-4 worship bands and praise ensembles. They were her choker-wearing, appropriate-length skirted, side-hugging, Dove award winning idols before she got a boob job and plastered her face to cover her acne scars.ДЄnd, if youвЂ™re anything like me, your teens and early twenties were awash with Christian pop and rock ballads. Aaaaand right now youвЂ™re like: Jaci, who? Trust me, Katy PerryвЂ™s alter ego, Christween music hopeful Katy Hudson knows ALL about Jaci Velasquez and her ilk.
