Coming from Heaven Go...Sweet lowly Jesus, Immanuel,<br />Coming from Heaven God's Truth Thou didst tell;<br />Born in a manger, Oh! lowly birth,<br />Incarnate God Thou hast visited earth.<br />Come from on high, come here to die,<br />Oh bless-ed Child, Thou most holy and mild;<br />Holy Lord Jesus, pure, undefiled,<br />Great Son of God, make me Thy tender child.<br /><br />We put that one in our hymnbook. The one you gave would have never made the cut. :)Jon Gleasonhttp://www.mindrenewers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043971967398769903.post-78003262947032133122012-11-14T20:27:51.174-06:002012-11-14T20:27:51.174-06:00Here's a thought when thinking about Christian...Here's a thought when thinking about Christian music.<br />Think about the idea that many people have that their relationship with God is based on feelings. It's easy for this view to become part of our thinking even if we would disagree with with the concept. Truly emotions of worship and joy should come from KNOWING WHO GOD IS, from His Word, not us knowing who God is through supposed experiences with Him.<br />I kinda feel the same about music. Rather then trying to "worship" God through the emotions produced by "moving" music, I find much more worth from being moved by truth found in the lyrics.<br />-SDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043971967398769903.post-74450899274412270842012-11-13T23:37:28.638-06:002012-11-13T23:37:28.638-06:00Honestly, I pretty much think we should only sing ...Honestly, I pretty much think we should only sing songs that are based specifically on songs or at least on Bible verses. That song isn't horrible, but it pretty much fails my test.Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14143205583006210792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043971967398769903.post-87344149895579225102012-11-13T21:30:32.698-06:002012-11-13T21:30:32.698-06:00I can get past "sweet" if taken by itsel...I can get past "sweet" if taken by itself, but when that is coupled with the language of intimate embrace, it goes too far.Steve Brickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809609523737519737noreply@blogger.com
