Every week, Kanye West presents a Sunday Service full of gospel music. While past iterations have featured updated versions of his own original songs, this past weekend prominently featured the gospel according to Nirvana.
As wife Kim Kardashian captured on Instagram, the Sunday Service choir covered two classics off Nevermind, and even reworked some of the lyrics to reference God and Jesus Christ. A new rendition of “Come as You Are” included the new lines, “Just confess/ he’ll do the rest/ Christ is here.” Meanwhile, the chorus of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” featured the lyrics, “Let your light shine/ It’s contagious.”
