Was just listening to the song Shadow of the Day by Linkin Park, and noticed how easily the lyrics could be turned from a depressing song about darkness to an encouraging song speaking of a deeper truth:
| Original | My lyrics |
| And the sun will set for you | And the Son was sent for you |
| The sun will set for you | The Son was sent for you |
| And the shadow of the day | And the Savior of the day |
| Will embrace the world in grey ….. | Will embrace the world in grace |
| And the sun will set for you | And the Son was sent for you |
Who is this “Son”, “Savior”, “Jesus” anyways?

Just thought you should know –
The lyrics are not “the son was sent for you”
They are the “sun will set for you”
Just FYI.

Thanks Marissa, but yes, that was the point of the post. I’ve added some headings to make it clearer

Hey Darren,
I love it! I always turn Linken Park songs into worship songs too! Their stuff seems built for it in my opinion.
