"It's all about ME".....the direction of....

An interesting discussion but.....



I would contest about 'splitting hairs' on the lyrics. Worship songs (aka contemporary Christian music) are written by contemporary music meisters and, IMO, should be judged as a whole and not line by line, word by word.



Also, for the most part, the recordings are taken from live worship when extemporaneous comments often occur quite naturally - such as the 'sing with me' which is not part of the lyrics per se and should not, therefore, be judged as such.



I find CCM very uplifting and focuses me wonderfully on various aspects of worship, love, repentance and glorifying the Father. Most often the engagement of music/words/worship comes when I find a song that allows me a total engagement with the flags, as in "How Great Is Our God" which absorbs me totally even though my flag routine for it is a tad repetitive, but my FW is my personal engagement with God and not a performance so it doesn't really give me much cause for concern in that respect.



Our kids' church have lately taken to themselves a Hillsong song called "Jesus Is My Superhero" which they love to do en mass on the stage with the pastor leading them with great enthusiasm through all the movements of acting out a superman pose and signing the rest of the song.m Some of the words are "Jesus is my superhero, He's my pal, my best friend".....



Would you have any comments about that?
