For the most part, playing the music is easy and fun. But oh, I really try not to listen to the words of these songs! (Apparently the choir members don't pay attention either.)
There is so much "give me ____" and begging for god to "speak to me, let me feel your presence, PLEASE prove to me that you exist!" (gotta pray harder)
Some of it sounds vaguely sexual: "take me, mold me, fill me, use me, let me feel your love, I NEEEEEEEED you, oh I neeeeeeed yooouuuuu . . . "
But a lyric from last nights new anthem just knocked me sideways, I swear. It's from a new popular song called "Committin' This Day". (seriously. that's the name)
It's on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47SsdIPjnPM
After a line that says, "my heart, here is my heart" there are THESE lyrics: (about 1:06 in the video) "My mind, Lord of my mind, all of the time, here is my mind."
Holy crap. "here is my mind" brainwash me PLEEEESE . . . holy crap.
I love that song.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
