Bible Question:
Please help me. I attend many contemporary Christian worship services. I often have difficulty understanding the lyrics. Some examples: 1. "Let the river flow" 2. "Let your fire fall" 3. "Dance with me Jesus" I don't understand the lyrics to these songs and it makes my worship experience less than optimal. I finally put my foot down with the "Dance with me Jesus" worship song and now I have the Pastor and elders in conflict over the spiritual accuracy of asking Jesus to dance with us...not what I had intended at all! Does anyone else have difficulty over the spiriual accuracy of these songs? Do I really want Jesus to dance with me? Can I stop the river's flow? Isn't the fire falling from God a symbol of His judgment? Do I want any of these things aspart of my worship experiences? Please advise. Blessings! Bud Greenberg PSALM 133 |
Bible Answer: The new songs are no different than the old songs, other than age. Many are scriptural and many are not. If one is allowed to pick and choose, the same case could be made against unscriptural old songs, and say they are unscriptural simple because they are old. Many have been listening to unscriptural songs in church all their life, and have never raised an eyebrow, but become very discerning with anything that does not please their ears or tradition.
