But here’s the thing: everyone’s a theologian. It’s just that a lot of people have really crappy theology. Artists and songwriters just need to have better theology, and a lot of them don’t. And that’s not necessarily their fault. The church as a whole just needs to do a better job teaching theology to laypeople.

*yawn*

There must be a certain amount of emotion accessible in worship. Perhaps this song goes to far. I wonder if the sexualizing of the lyrics is done on the part of the listener instead of on the part of the writer.

I also think some people need to get laid more often… [/tongue in cheek]

I blogged a bit on this, riffing on your post. I must admit that the whole way you critique modern worship is uncomfortable for me – I love intimate worship. But I’m also uncomfortable with a lot of what passes for worship songs these days. My big contention with this song is trying to express intimacy yet referencing God in a gendered third person – that doesn’t work for me. I’d be the one singing she half the time (but I’d probably not sing this song, I’m picky about what songs I sing in congregational settings – which is probably why I am most comfortable with a guitar strapped on).
