Romance Songs to the Lord
Yesterday, it was mentioned a couple of times that some worship songs are a turn off to men because they seem more like romance songs you would sing to your wife and it makes some men feel "weird". Men, how do you feel about this? (The poll is for men.)

Re: Romance Songs to the Lord
Well, I'm not a man, so I won't vote on the poll, but my answer would be yes. I'm interested to hear what the men have to say.

Re: Romance Songs to the Lord
I never thought about those songs in that way, so my answer would be no.

Re: Romance Songs to the Lord
Some songs come close to romance songs. Can't think of any at the moment. Not what I listen to.

If someone visits a church I'm pretty sure they'd know that the songs are sung to God.

Then again, maybe not. Vertical Church, North Pointe and a few others I've read about, mix both modern worship and popular songs in their services. Mega-church LifeChurch.tv opened a satellite church here (short-lived, no longer around). Their grand opening service had such worship songs as "Are You Gonna Go My Way" by Lenny Kravitz and "Miracle Drug" by Bono.
This is mostly in "seeker-friendly" churches.

Re: Romance Songs to the Lord
I have problem with them in general as far as the idea goes. The bible talks very emphatically about Love and God's love towards us
It just depends on the song and how it's done
I don't want to hear "Do me Jesus", but I have on problem with "Jesus, lover of my soul"
