Sanctifying Contemporary Music Redux
GOH: Mercy Walked In
Don’t forget to check out their CD on the back table!
Full Disclosure: I actually knew these two singers back many, many years ago when their family were missionaries to Papua New Guinea. Their singing family act back then was typical of the kinds of on-demand performances that missionaries would be expected to put on while raising money on “deputation.” I’m a bit surprised to find them still on tour.
GOH: He Owns the Cattle on a Thousand Hills
Did anybody else have 1 Corinthians 14:8 pop into their head about six measures into this?
On a side note, I’d bet a shiny nickle that the substitution of “God” for “He” in the title is an intentional effort to be anti-CCM.
For the uninitiated, one of the big complaints about contemporary songs is that they often use pronouns instead of names for God, leaving the object of the song ambiguous. As one person put it: “We could be just as easily be singing about Satan.”
And really, with all those drums and guitars and sliding tones it’s actually pretty likely that Satan is in the mix somewhere.
