| Jeśli chodzi o dobry przykład chrześcijańskiego artysty, to jest nim Bob Dylan. Kiedy został zbawiony w latach 70, nagrał 3 albumy mówiące tylko o Zbawicielu, a treść pieśni na nich zamieszczonych, swą głębokością bije większość tego co dzisiaj śpiewa się na nabożeństwach... Podaje parę przykładów dla znających angielski:
 Bob Dylan - What can I do for You?
 
 You have given everything to me
 What can I do for you ?
 You have given me eyes to see
 What can I do for You ?
 
 Pulled me out of a bondage and You made me renewed inside
 Filled up a hunger that had always been denied
 Opened up a door no man can shut and
 You opened it up so wide
 And You've chosen me to be among the few
 What can I do for You ?
 
 You have laid down Your life for me
 What can I do for You ?
 You have explained every mystery
 What can I do for You ?
 
 Soon a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly
 He gets wise in his own eyes and
 he's made to believe a lie
 Who could deliver him from the death he's bound to die ?
 Well, You've done it all and there's no
 more anyone can pretend to do
 What can I do for You ?
 
 You have given all there is to give
 What can I give for You ?
 You have given me life to live
 How can I live for You ?
 
 I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts
 I don't care how rough the road is,
 show me where it starts
 Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart
 Well, I don't deserve it but I sure did make it through
 What can I do for You ?
 
 Bob Dylan - Saved
 
 I was blinded by the devil
 Born already ruined
 Stone-cold dead
 As I stepped out of the womb
 By His grace I have been touched
 By His word I have been healed
 By His hand I have been delivered
 By His spirit I Have been sealed.
 
 I've been saved
 By the blood of the lamb
 Saved
 By the blood of the lamb
 Saved
 Saved
 And I'm so glad
 Yes, I'm so glad
 I'm so glad
 So glad
 I want to thank you, Lord
 I just want to thank You Lord
 Thank You Lord.
 
 By his truth I can be upright
 By his strength I do endure
 By His power I've been lifted
 In His love I am secure
 He bought me with a price
 Freed me from the pit
 Full of emptiness and wrath
 And the fire that burns in it.
 
 I've been saved
 By the blood of the lamb
 Saved
 By the blood of the lamb
 Saved
 Saved
 And I'm so glad
 Yes, I'm so glad
 I'm so glad
 So glad
 I want to thank you, Lord
 I just want to thank You Lord
 Thank You, Lord.
 
 Nobody to rescue me
 Nobody would dare
 I was going down for the last time
 But by His Mercy I've been spared
 Not by works
 But by faith in Him who called
 For so long I've been hindered
 For so long I've been stalled.
 
 I've been saved
 By the blood of the lamb
 Saved
 By the blood of the lamb
 Saved
 Saved
 And I'm so glad
 Yes, I'm so glad
 I'm so glad
 So glad
 I want to thank you, Lord
 I just want to thank You Lord
 Thank You, Lord.
 
 Bob Dylan - In The Garden
 
 When they came for Him in the garden, did they know ?
 When they came for Him in the garden, did they know ?
 Did they know He was the Son of God, did they know that He was Lord ?
 Did they hear when He told Peter, "Peter, put up your sword" ?
 When they came for Him in the garden, did they know ?
 When they came for Him in the garden, did they know ?
 
 When He spoke to them in the city, did they hear ?
 When He spoke to them in the city, did they hear ?
 Nicodemus came at night so he wouldn't be seen by men
 Saying, ?Master, tell me why a man must be born again?
 When He spoke to them in the city, did they hear ?
 When He spoke to them in the city, did they hear ?
 
 When He healed the blind and crippled, did they see ?
 When He healed the blind and crippled, did they see ?
 When He said, "Pick up your bed and walk, why must you criticize ?
 Same thing My Father do, I can do likewise"
 When He healed the blind and crippled, did they see ?
 When He healed the blind and crippled, did they see ?
 
 Did they speak out against Him, did they dare ?
 Did they speak out against Him, did they dare ?
 The multitude wanted to make Him king, put a crown upon His head
 Why did He slip away to a quiet place instead ?
 Did they speak out against Him, did they dare ?
 Did they speak out against Him, did they dare ?
 
 When He rose from the dead, did they believe ?
 When He rose from the dead, did they believe ?
 He said, "All power is given to Me in heaven and on earth"
 Did they know right then and there what that power was worth ?
 When He rose from the dead, did they believe ?
 When He rose from the dead, did they believe ?
