Christian Music
There is alot of "christian music" out there that is not even christian music.
Look at this comparison between these songs
In Christ Alone
Father of Lights
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
Till 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
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 life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
I will stand
I will stand
However ground is sinking sand
However ground
However ground is sinking sand
Is sinking sand
So I'll stand
I'm changed I'm not the same
The Father called me by my name
He called me through His Son
The Father's holy righteous One
We are His first fruits
The children of the King
Praise to the Father of lights
In Him there's day there is no night
Every good gift comes from above
A certain sign of the Father's love
He made me in His image
And I'm wonderfully made
He saved me through His only Son
And I'm wonderfully saved
See how different these songs are. One literally tells the story of Christ, praising Him for who He is and what He did for us. Clearly talking about Jesus.
While the other song is, what is this song? who is it talking about really? There are way to many references to people or the self not enough on Christ who deserves all the attention love and praise.
And before you say but the other song says father and father of lights.
2 Corinthians 11:14
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
John 8:44
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
We as His children we need to be aware of what we are worshiping because if it is not Jesus than who is it?
