I have never heard a "watered down" Christian song. I honestly don't understand what you mean.

When I played bass in a praise band, this is the scripture I took to heart:

"Psalm 33
2 Praise the LORD with the harp;
make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
3 Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully, and shout for joy."

Beyond the obvious key words (Praise the Lord) is this word that I take to heart: Skillfully.

Here ya go. It is an example of a lyric from DC Talk. Not necessarily a bad band, but 'watered down':

Consume Me
from Supernatural

by Toby McKeehan



Lovely traces
I can sense you in everything
The way that you move me
Takes me far away
I seek no escape
I'm dreaming through your eyes
I am wandering through your mind
I'm overtaken
By the way that you deliver me
I'm transcended
There's no place I'd rather be
Than here in heaven
Without you I'm incomplete
It's hopeless



CHORUS


You consume me, You consume me
Like a burning flame running through my veins
You consume me moving through me
Anytime anyplace you invade my space
You consume me, You consume me

Wholly devoted
I immerse myself in you
Baptize me in your love
'Cause drowning in the thought of you
Floods my soul
I'm taken by the things you do
God you know
It doesn't matter what I lose
I'm yours



CHORUS



BRIDGE
I am in your hands
Under your command
Like a puppet on a string
I am willing to
Put my faith in you
So before the world I sing…
