A better established gospel song than Linking Park's "The Catalyst" is the classic gospel song "Amazing Grace."
In the video below it is performed by South Africa's Stellenbosch University Choir.
The Stellenbosh University Choir was crowned best choir in the world during the World Choir Games in Shiaoxing, China, last month (July 2010).
Yet it is still those old time gospel and rhythm & blues singers like Aretha Franklin and Mahalia Jackson that really gives me goosebumps with their renditions of this gospel classic.
And since I'm listening to Willie Nelson again, here is his version of "Amazing Grace":

I love Mahalia Jackson. Her voice is haunting. I especially love her rendition of "Abide With Me".
I need to listen to it.
We also won the category for Gospel and Spiritual music at the 2008 World Choir Games in Graz, Austria where we sang this rendition of Amazing Grace. This is actually footage from our competition performance.
Thank you Janneman for the info. And congratulations on the great achievements of the Stellenbosch University choir. Well done!
