Jesus is My Boyfriend
...The first thing I dislike about some praise and worship songs is their excessive use of the singular first person who “loves” some vaguely defined second person. When I took over the responsibility of leading worship last year, the very first thing I did was go through the master Powerpoint list and eliminate any songs that sounded like they were composed by Elton John or Celine Dion. One such song is “In the Secret.” The song’s lyrics are absolutely terrible:
In the secret, in the quiet place
In the stillness you are there.
In the secret, in the quiet hour I wait,
Only for you.
If I didn’t know any better, I would think this song was written to Jodie Foster by John Hinckley.....
