Its the words that make a song meanful....
While thinking about this I came across an enlighting post at Kidologist
. What Karl Bastian did was take the Lords from Lord You Are....and made it easier for kids to relate to.
Watch

Here are the orginal words of the song Lord You Are:
Lord, You are, more precious than silver,Lord, You are, more costly than gold.
Lord, You are, more beautiful than diamonds,And nothing I desire compares with You.
Lord, Your love, is wider than oceans.Lord, Your love, is deeper than seas.
Lord, Your love, encompasses the nations,And there’s nothing more I’d want inside of me.

And Here is the kid friendly verison of the song..
Lord, You are, more awesome than all my toys, You mean more to me, than my Nintendo Wii.
Lord, You’re better yet, than my Webkins Pet,And nothing I desire compares with You.
Lord, Your love, is higher than the Sears Tower,Your love is wider, than a giant plasma TV. Lord, Your love, is better than Barney’s, And there’s nothing more I’d want inside of me.

Song rewritten by Karl Bastian
