Oh Canada - Put Your Hand in the Hand

I came across this video a few weeks ago and have been thinking about it ever since.  I find it to be quite the interesting study in Canada's strange relationship with the Christian faith.   The song is Put Your Hand In The Hand, a gospel pop song that reached number two on Us Billboard charts with the 1970 recording by Ocean.  It was also (originally) recorded by Canadian Anne Murray as well as  numerous other artists.  It was written by Canadian singer songwriter Gene MacLellan who was raised in Toronto but spent a number of years in PEI, including his last years in Summerside PEI.  This video, performed by a whose who collection of East Coast artists, was done as a tribute to Gene and to the song, going as far as to name it the Greatest East Coast Song.   
I find myself wondering about what each artist was thinking about as they participated in this tribute - the man, the song, the harmony and melody, the success of the song, the message of the lyrics etc.  I wonder what they actually think about Jesus?
