My tastes in music are far from dated, but when I am in a church please nothing later than Fanny Crosby.
To much of “contemporary Christian music” I call “swoon music”. Marty Haugen and his ilk make me gag.
I, sadly, have to agree.
I am the only person in my family that is not enamored with stations like KLOVE, although I do listen to it from time to time.
There are "swoon" songs like this one. I just returned from worship, I posted the thread just as my wife and I were heading out to church services.

The band played that song, along with many others.
The song is derived from a passage from Scripture: "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."
2 Corinthians 3:17
As a man, I can relate to Freedom. Our Constitution, our Declaration of Independence, and our other founding documents declare, in very clear language, that ALL of our freedoms come from God. In fact, to be a slave to sin denies our very freedom.
So, I am OK with that song.
The problem is as you stated, too much "swoon" music, and not enough focus on God's Power, His Justice, His Authority.
All of those are anti-feminine themes. I am sorry, but they are.
The church needs to focus less on sermons about "intimacy" and more about God's sovereign grace.
