American Idol star, Carrie Underwood, speak on faith
By Beaver Believer, Portland
Carrie Underwood is breaking music records. Underwood broke country music records with the first to have 10 consecutive #1 hits. Underwood has sold more music than any other American Idol contestant winner and just finished her own Christmas special on Fox TV.
Her first ever song was called Jesus take the wheel. She recently told Esquire magazine about that song, “After I released “Jesus, Take the Wheel,” people started saying, Oh, it’s kind of risky. You’re coming out with a religious song. And I was thinking, Really? I grew up in Oklahoma, I always had a close relationship with God. I never thought it was risky in the least. If anything, I thought it was the safest thing I could do.”
Another side of her Christian values can be seen on her just released song called Change. It is a strong song that I hope will reach many people. The lyrics are below.
What’cha gonna do with the 36 cents
Sticky with Coke on your floorboard
When a woman on the street is huddle in the cold
On a sidewalk vent trying to keep warm
Do you call her over hand her the change
Ask her a story ask her her name
Or do you tell yourself
You’re just a fool
Just a fool
You believe you can change the world
You’re just a fool
Just a fool
You believe you can change the world
What’cha gonna do when you’re watching t.v.
And an ad comes on
Yeah you know the kind
Flashin’ up pictures of a child in need
For a dime a day you can save a life
Do you call the number reach out a hand
Or do you change the channel call it a scam
Or do you tell yourself
You’re just a fool
Just a fool
You believe you can change the world
Don’t listen to them when they say
You’re just a fool
Just a fool
You believe you can change the world
Oh the smallest thing can make all the difference
Love is alive
Don’t listen to them when they say
You’re just a fool
Just a fool
You believe you can change the world
The worlds so big it could break your heart
And you just wanna help
But not sure where to start
so you close your eyes
Send up a prayer into the dark
You’re just a fool
Just a fool
You believe you can change the world
Don’t listen to them when they say
Youre just a fool
Just a fool you believe
You can change the world
Oh the smallest thing can all the difference
Love is alive
Don’t listen to them when they say
You’re just a fool
Just a fool
You believe you can change the world

When I first heard “Jesus, Take the Wheel” I was very touched. Everyone can relate that to their own lives in some way.
Temporary Home is more directly about God.
