I hate Christian music that can allow one to replace their (human) spouse/lover in the place of God. Some songs on the radio remind me of my husband, whom I love dearly, not God. I don't have a problem with contemporary Christian music, but if it's contemporary, we shouldn't have any doubts who we're thinking about when we're humming along in the car!
I for one have never said to my wife, "You're all I need".
That would be idolatry.
God is all I need.
Draw me close to you....indicates humility - I can't come properly on my own.
Never let me go....I can't even stay right - except by your grace and mercy - Who can pluck you out of His hand?
I lay it all down again....Confession of the sin that separates me from Him
To hear you say that I'm your friend....Through the blood of the cross, my relationship with God is restored
I could go on with every line, but in my opinion, those who sing this song and can't get close to God should pray that maybe He will draw them closer to Him.
And maybe they could sing that prayer too.
Interesting that Colson can bash this prayer set to music by Micheal W., when he could not do the same to this extent over Harry Potter.

excerpt:
"If your kids do develop a taste for Harry Potter and his wizard friends, this interest might just open them up to an appreciation for other fantasy books with a distinctly Christian worldview," Colson continued. "When your kids finish reading Harry Potter, give them C.S. Lewis' 'Narnia' books and J.R.R. Tolkien's 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy. These books also feature wizards and
witches and magical potions -- but in addition, they inspire the imagination within a Christian framework -- and prepare the hearts of readers for the real-life story of Christ."
Ah, but then they can't crossover into the mainstream to "reach more people for Christ".
