I side with the musicians.
Morgana:
“A God without wrath brought men without sin into a Kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a Cross.” (H. Richard Niebuhr)
is the theology of those who control the PCUSA.
If you attend a PCUSA church, no matter how sound that individual congregation is....you are tacitly supporting the apostasy controling the larger denomination.
Although the Methodist hymnal, which was revised in 1989, added some good hymns such as Robert Lowry’s “Shall We Gather at the River?” that were not in previous editions, it excluded a number of favorites such as “Eternal Father, Strong to Save” and added politically correct lyrics to others—”God of Our Fathers” is now “God of the Ages,” and “Good Christian Men Rejoice” is now “Good Christian Friends Rejoice.”
Another reason to leave this “church” of Satan, in addition to their alliance with headcutters against Israel.
I know people who have an aversion to "Amazing Grace" for similar reasons.
The best part, of one of my a favorite songs - and they want to change it? These people must be spritually dead.
It’s such a beautiful song!

Hey, you should see the difference between the latest Blue book and the old Red one.
We kept the Red ones next to the Blue ones because all the songs we liked the best were in the Red one.
PCUSA going PC as fast as it can.
Here’s the lyrics of the song... which one do they object to?
_______________________________________
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand
In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless Babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live, I live
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From a life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Could ever pluck me from His hand
‘Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I stand
I will stand, I will stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground, all other ground
Is sinking sand, is sinking sand
So I stand
Diminishing the reality of sin and its ramifications in the world not only ignores the important thing like REALITY. It also detracts from the importance of the crucifixion.
You cannot have an understanding of salvation if you do not accept the reality of sin.
They worship satan and not GOD.
