My wife calls them the “My Boyfriend Jesus” songs.
OMG, srsly, like every Sunday...not a fan of contemporary worship music whatsoever (it just sounds musically clichéd and uninspired) and the sexual vagary of the lyrics can make it just dreadful. Especially in the Catholic Church, yikes!
"He who dwells,
In the secret place,
Of the Most High God,
Shall abide in the shadow of His wings."
Pretty overtly sexual? Sorry, you're the one who is sick here.
Then stay away from Song of Solomon
Yeah that Song of Songs book is too much. /s
9 I liken you, my darling, to a mare
among Pharaoh’s chariot horses.
10 Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings,
your neck with strings of jewels.
11 We will make you earrings of gold,
studded with silver.

You mean you don’t like endless repetition? Hypnotic trance induced by said repetition?
I am always bored out of my skull by musically uninteresting melodies played over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Can’t take it! People around me have eyes have closed, undulating bodies. I am BORED. BTW I could not be hypnotized by a professional hypnotist either. I guess I am too self aware or something.
‘Bored out of my skull’ too. And to top it off, a musician. “Dang, they forgot the fourth beat in that measure. Must be 4 in every measure!” I’d spend half the service griping to myself about the banal songs and bad musicians, the second half repenting. hahah.
Now I will only go to a NO music service — 7:30 am mass is fine by me, and I can keep my eyes on the Lord.
“Praise and Worship” music has always been music from the lower end of the sophistication spectrum, but has the author ever read the Song of Songs?
Agreed
I gotta go raise my ebenezer......
Problem is, you are a musician.
The money is not in Christian music. The best of the best do not gravitate to this genre. But, the expectations are low, and the product meets the expectations. The worst thing I hear is “Jesus gave me this song”. I say, “no he could not have. He is a better composer than that.”
If two guys are friends, well, they must be gay.
A boy and a girl are friends? They must be doing it.
You are dating? Well, then you are humping like bunnies.
Everything is wink-wink, nod-nod, snicker, yaknowatimean until I could scream.
If you want to get off the train, try turning off the TV.
