So you are blaming music directors for "softening" men in our churches?

Coon, really?

I'm not a big fan of that one, although when I was a kid it was my favorite.

Seriously, it was on page 122. I still remember.

It might not make men men, but at least it won't sissify them like a lot of the junk that comes out of the music world today.

Your friendship, it is intimate
I feel I'm moving to the rhythm of Your grace
Your fragrance is intoxicating in the secret place
Cause Your love is extravagant

Chorus:
Spread wide in the arms of Christ there's a love that covers sin
No greater love have I ever known; You considered me a friend
Capture my heart again

Your love is extravagant
Your friendship, it is intimate
I feel I'm moving to the rhythm of Your grace
Your fragrance is intoxicating in the secret place
Your love is extravagant

Spread wide in the arms of Christ there's a love that covers sin
No greater love have I ever known; You considered me a friend
Spread wide in the arms of Christ there's a love that covers sin
No greater love have I ever known; You considered me a friend
Capture my heart again

Your love is extravagant
Your friendship, it is intimate

Not all music directors, Renda.

But honestly, if you don't think the proliferation of sissies behind the keyboards has affected young men, you just haven't been paying attention.

I heard a soft little charismatic guy with a goatee and a silk shirt do that one, and it made my skin crawl.

I wanted to go take a shower.

I don't buy it.

With that train of thought, then we need to carry it a step further and say that any minister that has been unfaithful to his wife has affected his church and turned the men to adulterers.

Some of it may have been the singer.

Sounds like he was pretty happy to be "the bride of Christ!"

[Joseph Miller]

Well, we are the bride.

Also what is wrong with singing about our love for God and his love for us?

God is my father and I love him. I talk to him in way I don't talk to anyone else.

I actually like these worship songs.

I like some of the old hymns too, but didn't the Bible say "Sing a NEW song..."?
