Taking the original song, which was more of a battle cry against injustice, and turning it on its ear into more of a lamentation was a bold choice. To me, this is more of a song of lost faith. Changing the original lyrics, "to claim the victory Jesus won" to "where is the victory Jesus won?" pretty much matches the solemn tone of this heartfelt but forlorn version. 
Maybe too mellow for the song's message? I think it needs the anger of the original. That said, it's his song to do with as he pleases.
I personally think that the additional lyrics - add a flavor of poerty and reflects what a timeless work of art this song was. 
Reinterpretation of music by the original composer often sounds to me like a bad second attempt ....
It’s not the same song without the drums tearing up the background 
Wow - that’s just wonderful. Thanks for playing that - made my day
Nice but I'll go with the original and the best
