Eminem may not be the first artist you think of when trying to identify a Christian artist, but is about time to come around on that notion? For the first time in his career, Eminem has a No. 1 song on the Christian charts.
Now, just for some clarification, it isn’t actually Slim’s song. It’s a DJ Khaled track “Use This Gospel (Remix),” of which Eminem appears on with Kanye West.
Eminem’s lines on the track include: “Bible at my side like a rifle with a God-given gift / Every single day I thank God for / That’s why I pay so much homage / Praises to Jesus” . . .
And, “So my Savior, I call on / To rescue me from these depths of despair / So these demons better step like a stair / Because He is my shepherd / I’m armed with Jesus, my weapon is prayer.” According to Billboard, it is DJ Khaled’s and Eminem’s their first No. 1s on the chart, while it’s West’s 5th.
