A friend of mine who is still attending the assembly we left two years ago (because he thinks he is still able to affect things) keeps me informed as to bizarre happenings there. This week he told me what was sung for their Christmas worship service. The song is nothing but the social gospel heresy. Take a look at this one, if you can read it all without getting ill. It is titled, Give this Christmas Away, by Matthew West.
What if I told you
You have the power
To give someone hope
Beyond their wildest dreams
What if I told you
It’s right there in your hands
In your hands
It’s hard to imagine
How something so small
Can make all the difference
Tear down the tallest wall
What if December
Looked different this year
What if we all just
Give this Christmas away
If there’s love in your heart
Don’t let it stay there
Give this Christmas away
And your life will be changed
By the gifts you receive
When you give this Christmas away
It’s feeding the hungry
Serving the poor
It’s telling the orphan
You’re not forgotten anymore
It’s doing what love does
Even when no one’s watching you
Give this Christmas away
If there’s love in your heart
Don’t let it stay there
Give this Christmas away
And your life will be changed
By the gifts you receive
When you give this Christmas away
For God so loved the world
That He gave His only Son
So we could be
His hands, His feet, His love
His love
What if I told you
You have the power
To give someone hope
Far beyond their wildest dreams
What if December
Looked different this year
Yah what if we all just
Give this Christmas away
If there’s love in your heart
Don’t let it stay there
Give this Christmas away
And your life will be changed
By the gifts you receive
When you give this Christmas away
Give this Christmas away
You have the power
Just give it away
Give it away
Give it away
This Christmas
Give it away
Give Christmas away
Give it away
Did I miss a gospel message in there? Really, does this song even mention the birth of Christ, let alone the reason he came? Oh, but it makes people feel good to sing it. I have one word to describe this song — disgusting.
I am so glad to have left that assembly when they started their downhill slide.
When I got to the part that said, "God so loved the world that He gave His Son", I nearly puked.
ReplyDeleteI vomited in my mouth. Can we just "Throw it Away??
