Replacing “baby” with “Jesus” isn’t exactly the best way to create christian lyrics.

That's the old joke about the difference between blues and gospel. Here's some Christian rock lyrics for you:

Walk by faith, not by sight
Strengthened by His glorious might
Walk by faith, not by sight
Heading for that land of light
Walk by faith and not by sight

Sometimes we ain't so sure
He sees us when we're kneeling
Sometimes we forget salvation ain't a feeling
We know that Jesus died for our justification
We grow in His image by suffering tribulations

Not by Sight, by Petra

Just saying that some of those “old tyme beloved hymns” we used to hear in church growing up may have started out as the 18th Century Rock Music. I do know the tune to The Star Spangled Banner was “Ode to Anacreon” (an English drinking song that celebrated drunken dissipation).
