Swallowing syllables is not without cost. It's a technique you can use if you have to, but you're better off tweaking the wording if and where you can - particularly for something that's primarily going to be experienced as text.
I ask for no excuses. I will note that I referenced the lyrics by doing a quick google search, rather than having it all in my head. The scraps in my head were enough to tell me that some of it was off, but past that, I needed help.
protip: Christianity, in particular, is an expansionist evangelical religion with a large number of english-speaking evangelical followers. If you want to reference some fact or other about christianity (hymn lyrics, bible quotes, creeds, etc) there are lots of websites out there that are designed to find people with vague curiosity about the faith and hook them up with more info than you could possibly need. Finding this stuff is easy with even moderate google-fu.
