Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam" is a song originally recorded by Scottish alternative band The Vaselines for their EP "Dying for It". It is a parody on the Christian children's hymn, "I'll Be a Sunbeam," which has the opening line "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam." The song was little-known outside the indie-pop scene until Nirvana recorded the song in November 1993. The song released on the album and the DVD for their live acoustic "MTV Unplugged in New York" was titled "Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam" . The Vaselines re-released
He Lives He Lives "He Lives" is a Christian hymn, otherwise known by its first line, "I Serve a Risen Savior". It was composed in 1933 by Alfred Henry Ackley (1887-1960), and remains popular today within certain Evangelical and Pentecostal traditions. The hymn discusses the experience claimed by Christians that Jesus Christ lives within their hearts. It is disliked or excluded by some Calvinsts, on the grounds that the subjective appeal to experience is less reliable than the words of scripture. The hymn is sung by church members in "Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit", a screen adaptation of Jeanette Winterson's novel
