Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea. (Heb 4:15-16)
A great High Priest whose Name is Love (Heb 4:14)
Who ever lives and pleads for me. (Heb 7:25)
My name is graven on His hands, (Isa 49:16)
My name is written on His heart.
I know that while in Heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart. (Rom 8:34)

There are uncountable songs and hymns written for worshiping our awesome God. However, in my opinion, I wouldn’t find all of
them pleasing to God, as most of them somehow are human-centered songs, instead
for the glory of God alone. Of course, some songwriters wrote to express the
great feeling towards God, but that lyrics of the songs failed to describe the
mightiness of God. Because of that, the songs would probably be a
self-expression which fails to give glory to God. There are many songs written
in a way that is inappropriate according to the teachings of the Bible. Some songwriters
do not have a strong and good knowledge of God (I suspect they have a poor theology).
Eventually the lyrics they wrote somehow do not biblically make sense.
I am not
here to judge like a worship expert, but as far as the worship is concerned, we shall not comprise to the wrong way of worship which is against the commandment of God. (To worship Him in
truths and Spirit) I am writing just to remind all of us about the core of God-pleasing worship. I believe it wouldn't be a great act to focus more on the music instead of the appropriateness of lyrics.
Because words tell a lot more than music could probably show. This song is really great I would say. Not because the songwriter had a good theological
background, but indeed the lyrics tell us very clearly that how our God set us free from death
and the bondage of sin through our Lord Jesus Christ. Hope you guys appreciate.
