You are assuming I am only for traditional worship, when that is nowhere near the case. My husband used to sing on the worship team at church. I am not saying that all lyrics should be direct scripture quotes. I LOVE Christian Rock, a good part of my collection is of Christian bands. Don't assume I am speaking out against Christian Rock, just wanting the bands to keep on message.

Okay - but please don't miss the point of these bands, and don't think God can't use them because they don't fit your idea of what Christian music should be.

An example of Pillar's lyrics

Indivisble

For all the people in the world that don't understand
Exactly what it is we have here in this motherland
See the Father's hand started up a master plan
There's been many through the test of time take a stand
But had they ran who knows where we would be now
I thank God it's something I don't have to think about
Instead my thoughts are on the ones who laid it on the line
KIA gave their lives to let freedom shine
But in the meantime I think of those of your kind
And wonder how it is you get things so messed up inside your mind
Just think a second how long it's been going on before you
They're the one's who even helped you have the right to argue

Stop complaining move along
Open your eyes and see what's going on
We need to get back to the ways of the days of old
One nation under God indivisible

Chorus

All the people let me hear you give a holler
In God we trust, In God we trust
We stamp it on our penny, nickel, dime, quarter, dollar
In God we trust, In God we trust
The people of the nation let me hear you give a holler
In God we trust, In God we trust
We stamp it on our penny, nickel, dime, quarter, dollar
In God we trust, In God we trust

The other day I saw the news somebody else complaining
They want the motto taken off of the Benjamin Franklin
They got a problem with my God and that I believe in it
But the don't got a problem with the money when they spend it
They're so offended by 4 words that need no explanation
In GOD we trust the motto of this greatest nation
Not just a motto but something that we truly believe
If you don't like it you can pack a bag and you can leave

One nation under God indivisible
You can't take back that, that was never yours

Sometimes the message does get watered down, what has happened to MxPx?

Guys like Mikee Bridges and Tooth & Nail have had impact with the youth (listen to me at 27).
