On the contemporary Christian music scene ... there is a group called
Undercover that has a punk sound; they compare to The Rez Band like the Ramones
compares to Journey or Toto.  Here's a sample of some lyrics from "Jesus is
the Best," off of the "God Rules" album:

		"Jesus is the Best
		 He's better than the rest
		 Go on put him to the test
		 You'll see He's the best

		 Have you heard the latest
		 Jesus is the greatest
		 He can save you and I'll tell you something more
		 You can go to heaven and know for sure

		 Now He is the king
		 Over everything
		 Call him on the phone (ring ring)
		 He can do anything ...."

And so on.  On the same album they do a punkish version of "I Am the Resurrection and the Life," a Christian standard....
