You mean the "chorus"......... ":^) "I could sing of Your love forever".......X 8. We all do it to make the point stick.

@Bigg GIB'S fun house fez Zaza

What is the purpose of our existence? Is it simply to have a good job, build a family, and enjoy life? Is that all there is? Certainly not. We’re made for so much more. Your purpose is to know God. After we die, the Bible says we’ll face God as our Judge. Have you ever rebelled (sinned) against God? Examine yourself by God’s Law, the Ten Commandments. Have you ever told a lie? Ever stolen (the value is irrelevant)? Jesus said, “Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” In God’s courtroom, our sins are very serious crimes. They’re so evil that the just punishment is death and eternity in a terrible place called Hell. The Bible says that God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked. He is rich in mercy and provided a Savior: “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Jesus Christ died on the cross, paying the death penalty for sinners. He then rose from the dead three days later, defeating death. Hundreds saw Him after His resurrection; it’s no fairy tale. Jesus fulfilled all the prophecies about the promised Savior, written in the Holy Scriptures hundreds of years before His birth. Religious rites, sacred traditions, or attending church can’t save you. Salvation is a free gift of God that you can’t earn. To know God and have your sins forgiven, do what the Bible says: repent and believe. Trust in Jesus as you’d trust in a parachute-don’t just “believe” it can save you, put it on and cling to it with all of your being. Wholeheartedly commit yourself to following Christ, and turn your back on sin. Then show your gratitude by obeying His command to be baptized. Be sure to also join a Christian church and read the Bible daily. God will never let you down@Bigg GIB'S fun house

Charles Carpenter you're mentioning a different paradigm in music. Even then that was just influence over the band. What CCM is now is just corporate music with mentions of God, vague struggles, and references to themes or palces in The Bible.

Exactly. I think if people truly want to glorify God with their gifts, they will want to work hard to create art that is creative and well-thought-out.

I think it's a good song if you have trouble believing God is a good father and that you are loved by Him, but for someone who has no trouble believing that all that repetition really gets old by the second time you hear the song. I do like it, but that's why I never actually listen to it, and if they just switched the repeated lyrics with something else it would've been just fine. Simplicity is fine, but to repeat it so many times like a chant... I don't like chants...

This is one of the reasons why my husband and I have really struggled with going to church these past few years. We're in our 30s and all we want is real genuine church, not trendy church. We've just had a little daughter and I really have struggled with not taking her to church regularly when church was such a large part of my life going up and well into my 20s. I don't know why but it just seems like it has changed and we are left behind. I am praying that we find community and other Christians that feel this way, because I feel very alone at the moment.

@@stacey738 Maybe try going to a Catholic church? They're pretty genuine and all about tradition.

@@rebekahjiracek1525 Yeach but the whole "praying to the saints" thing is totally not my thing.

It's almost like everyone nowadays cares more about enjoying themselves than actually dedicating themselves to a higher power. All while claiming the moniker of "spiritual" and claiming everyone but themselves who actually cares about such dedication "hypocrites".

This secular type music has almost destroyed the pentacostal movement. Now instead of worship, everyone just sways like there in a trance. Very few churches now that have real worship.

LMAOOO

same here- as Christian as I and my family are, we can't stand Christian music :/

Mass hymns are amazing

Same. My church still mostly sings hymns.

You should listen to yet not I but through Christ in me. It’s like a hymn but a little more modern

@EF pass me my crusade helmet

I mean Christian music is literally at this point worse than pop music in regards to formulaic writing, as funny as this video was it's only funny because it's completely true. They know since they can push away criticism by playing the "God card" of music; they can write absolutely bland and meaningless music and Christians will still listen to it. The whole idea is "well it's easy to listen to and sing along to, and it's coming from a good place", and then because of that we can completely ignore just how bland it is because it says the word God in it. It's kinda disgusting to me, but idk. Anyone who gets offended by that is stupid, because it's the truth.

@@mav.- Oh my gosh, yes! I hate it. I miss the early stuff. It just proves how much of a sellout the organization really is.

@@mav.- I mostly agree with you. I mean I still think that everyone has their own opinion/style and that's fine, but I personally really don't like the repettitiveness either. ~:~

@@mav.- Ye. The funny part is people will say metal is "satan music" and then turn around and listen to "good good father x100" whilst my "satan music" has lyrics with much more meaning and sing much better praise to God.

I don't think I've ever heard that hymn, but pretty profound lyrics.

This is the type of music that can legitimately heal and save souls.

The Forehead lol same

Cory Knuth That line has been such a debatable subject among my praise and worship team, and apparently others. lol

The Forehead Well, some people like myself think it sounds cheesy. I've been in praise and worship for 13 years and when I learned of the "Unforseen kiss" version, I insisted on using that. And I also never knew who did the original.

We use the sloppy wet kiss version at church camp. The kids like that version better because they relate better to it.

Ti Y The content creator is a Christian - so is the rest of the cast

I'm late to reply, but your spot on. I don't see what other's see in CCM nowadays, I've been listening to CCM for a little over 20 years and the mid 2000s changed everything. I can't stand Air1 or Klove any more :/ I used to have those on 24-7, now it's Metal all the way. My friends have moved on to Rap or Hard core bands, CCM is just so awful that more and more are turning away from it. Non Christians don't even listen to CCM at all, I've met more metal heads that aren't saved, that listen to Christian metal ( yes there's a lot of bands out there, especially from Metal Core through Black ) and are totally fine with it. Trying to find someone who isn't a Christian that listens to Newsboys or has even heard of them is a challenge in and of itself. Nuff said.

But then Rich Mullins happened...

If it's popular, It's probably unbiblical. That's why believers are also known as, The Remnant. ~ WAIT … What a great name for my band! THE REMNANT !!! (Now what is the name of this record label?)

"I want to touch you" is another. Plus even though there's some truth to the lyrics in Draw Me Close to You, it still sounds way too sensual and romantic...

"Oh you make me feel so good" "Don't leave me alone" "I'm yours and you're mine"

southpark dunked that ball a long time ago

Dancer for Yeshua that’s because a relationship with God is more than romantic. In fact it is better than the normal romance here that we know of

RockyMtn Hiker we see the way we are. Paul had an encounter with Christ- which could be seen as God “touching his heart”. And until we go past religious routine to actually falling in love-through the Holy Spirit - with all that Jesus is, Christ-like living would be elusive and frustrating. Guess what I’m trying to say is: you gotta stop processing those lyrics through sensual filters. They speak more to having a personal walk with God, where your heart is open to Him and His word, beyond just being perfunctory “Christians”

Auburn Medical Group are they christain

In this verse, Samuel, one of the early leaders of Israel, orders genocide against a neighbouring people: “This is what the Lord Almighty says... ‘Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’” (1 Samuel 15:3)The ending of Psalm 137, a psalm which was made into a disco calypso hit by Boney M, is often omitted from readings in church: “Happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us - he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.” (Psalm 137:9)The Lord is speaking to Abraham in this story where God commands him to sacrifice his son: ‘Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt-offering on one of the mountains that I shall show you.’ (Genesis 22:2)

Auburn Medical Group that’s like so accurate

There's plenty of good Christian music out there. Examples: Danny Gokey, Elevation Worship, Lacrae, Housefire 3, Casting Crowns, Israel Houghton, Micah Stampley, Fred Hammond, NF, Andy Mineo, Trip Lee, Skillet etc. The problem with Christian music, is that the radio likes playing the same songs repeatedly from generic artists, so people are lead to believe that all Christian music sucks.

Follow The Good Christian music blog on KZfaq

Try Messianic music.

I completely agree with you. All of that music was far superior to the cheap, watered down (another water reference, heh heh), Christian music we have now.

I heard someone right after taking a bite of chicken sandwich, "Mmmmm homophobia never tasted so good!" 😟

Darla Dixon just because we disagree with the lifestyle doesn't make us homophobic, how many times do I have to say it ? Really !

Becky Boofer Calling it a lifestyle shows you think it is a choice, like wearing Levi's instead of Wrangler. I also don't think I said you are homophobic. Hating gay people doesn't make someone phobic, it makes them obviously ignorant of biology.

joanna destiny Then being heterosexual must be a lifestyle too.

I often struggle to find good modern Christian music even when browsing Tidal or researching online. Most of my favorites come from older bands such as Jars of Clay, PFR, DC Talk, Petra, and Creed. DC talk was good enough to make secular radio stations request that the band place less emphasis on Jesus so they could air them.

Preach! I feel like sometimes our faith can become segregated.

I played bass in a college gospel choir for 3 years and never had a dull moment!

It's not just the Christian music industry. Anyone remember "I swear" done by both All-4-one and John Michael Montgomery? Any given song can be used by multiple groups depending on the writers and contract deals.

The CCM industry is unoriginal nowadays.

Westdog 01 I’m of that opinion. Having played in a church band for 4 years, there was clearly a formula that was used. Artists doing covers is also more rampant in Christian music than any other genre of music I’m aware of. Literally 5 or more versions of the same song is crazy. If I listen to CCM it’s only because I have my daughter with me. I get nothing from the lyrics or musical ideas.

Everyone remakes other ppls songs because those are 25 songs K-love will play 😂 but seriously 😢
