Pop diva Beyoncé put aside the raunchy stripper pole and the leather bondage outfits and donned an angelic flowing gown to perform "Take My Hand, Precious Lord," at Sunday night's Grammy Awards. 

The classic gospel song was featured in the film Selma, performed by Ledisi. 

Rolling Stone praised the performance as a triumph:  

Beyonce appeared angelic in all white, surrounded by a choir of male singers in white suits. Her delivery of the hymn was triumphant but somber, staying still as she sang through the classic. After silencing the orchestra, she thanked the audience and introduced Common and Legend, who will also perform the song at the Academy Awards on February 22nd. 

The holy performance was a far cry from Queen Bee's controversial rendition of "Drunk In Love" she did last year with her husband, Jay Z. At the time, network censors had to silence the lyrics of the performance and many critics said the sexually charged presentation between the husband and wife was a little too personal for network television. 

The Hollywood Reporter noted after the performance in 2014: 

Melissa Henson, director of grassroots activism and education for conservative watchdog Parents Television Council, told Yahoo Music that there has been a consistent run of "inappropriate material" on awards ceremonies as of late. "When I was a kid, these shows were a big deal, and we could watch them without any fear of inappropriate material," she said. "But unfortunately I think those days are gone."
