i was in youth group seven years ago and we totally had a skit about jesus to total eclipse of the heart. it was hardcore emotional. so that now every time i hear that song for the rest of my life, i don't think, "oh, sweet 80's power ballad!" instead, i think, "oh, satan's trying to get me to sin, but jesus eventually will save me." which is a great thought, really. but it's really hard to enjoy bonnie tyler's crescendos when you're picturing jesus battling satan.

To the "(cough)jerk" anon:

You are being called a jerk for using terms like "you people" and ::eyeroll:: which are dismissive, demeaning and not Christ-like.

The defense "But you're wrong and I'm right" is a childish one. Just because you think you're right doesn't mean you get to be rude.

I've always thought "Everything I do, I do it for you" could make a terrific song from God to us. I even rewrote it years ago – just changing a couple words here & there.

"
I swear" by All 4 One.

"I swear, by the moon and the stars in the sky, I'll be there" became "I know, by the Word of the Lord in my heart, He'll be there"

@Sarah Beck:

The Easter production my church did this year had the thief singing "Thief" from the cross.

And actually, it was pretty good. The show itself was decently done, the rest of the music was original, and the guy who sang while hanging on the cross had to have some serious breath control!

So, being in a traveling drama ministry, every time we go to a church that has it's own drama team, they want to show us the newest thing they've been working on. It seems that anything by Lifehouse is popular for youth groups. If it's a drama team with older people though, sure fire bet that there's something by Casting Crowns (specifically If We are the Body) or Third Day (specifically Thief)

ha, for my senior year mission trip to Belize with my church, we acted out a "Total Eclipse Of the Heart" dance to the song. To this day, I still can not bear to hear that song after performing it so many times!

Just about every youth convention/retreat/fine arts festival I attended in high school contained a "human video" (or interpretive dance) that involved the main character succumbing to peer pressure and then being saved by Jesus who was standing on a chair at the back of the stage being with his arms out. These videos also featured the protagonist kneeling, using flowy arm movements and his/her chest thrusting up and down to resemble sobbing.

Howie,
I have heard WAY too many Jr. High kids sing Jesus Take The Wheel for specials at Church… good suggestion.
I can't believe noone has suggested "Speechless" by Steven Curtis Chapman. I have seen way too many happy hands club interpretations of that song. It is perfect for a mission trip interpretive dance song!
