I like John Michael Talbot, because many of his songs are tied pretty closely to the Psalms and they do speak powerfully to me, plus they are easier to recall than trying to memorize just the words. I think it's neat that you recall lines from the psalms you sang growing up. Even if children are mindless of the depths of the truth as they sing it, it's in there to be recalled consciously later.

I can still remember lines from the psalms not in their spoken form but in their chanting. It sticks in your head. The same thing goes for the torturous scene of Faramir in The Return of the King when he rides off to fight a battle already lost at his mad father's whim. When Pippin sings that song behind the battle scenes it is far more eerie than any spoken word. I remember when I was growing up in a Lutheran church and we used to sing the psalms from a psalter.
