Have you heard people denounce
Christian music published by Hillsong or Bethel?
Have you heard someone complain about
worship songs these days, saying…
“The trouble with modern Christian
music is that it’s so ‘self-centric’; it’s all about ‘me’ and ‘I’
and ‘we’, with far less reference to God.
Can God be glorified by lyrics so
skewed towards ‘self’ as in the following example?
Some may say “NO”.
What do you think?
A well-known Christian song
comprises the following:
Me
I
I’m
I
My
My
I
I
Me
Me
Lord
Me

We've

God's

The song?
Amazing grace, how sweet the
sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I’m found,
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace
appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils
and snares
I have already come,
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and
heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun.
Let your heart, through the filter of
the Holy Spirit speak.
God is the author of his own praises;
expressed through the love of his people.
Do not be quick to quench the Spirit.
