“Lord Un-Evil My Eyes” and other Christian Hits

Today I went to my first church service in a foreign country. It was a really great experience. They had Chinese, Japanese, Indian and Korean all there at the English church service. The only other Caucasian person at the service other than me was the person who brought me. That’s the way it’s been pretty much the entire time I’ve been in this country, other than when I’ve gone out with all the teachers a the school I’m with.

Anyways, at this service I was at, most people cannot speak English and have a very, very rudimentary understanding of English. The only reason why they come to the service is because that is the only contact that they have with the English language because actual lessons so expensive. As well the people who ran the service didn’t have quite the command of the English language so that produced some gems in the lyrics of the song “The Power of Your Love” where they wrote “Lord un-evil my eyes” instead of “Lord unveil my eyes” It brought a little humour to the service.
