SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT SONG WRITING AND WORSHIP

But honestly it's better to go clean the street gutters than to stay in a room and sing songs with no Christ filled doctrinal content.
Some of the songs are:
1. No so we de hail you oh. Who are you hailing ?  I saw some soldiers hailing their commander with the same song. It could be your village chief or even your friend. My point there is no way for anyone to know who you're hailing because the song doesn't tell.
2. We go de hail hail your name day by day.  Whose name are you hailing ? What name are you hailing ? The song doesn't say. Everybody is left to imagine for himself the name you are hailing. It could be Mohammed, Baal, Allah, or even Marduk or Isis you're hailing.
3. Ah ah ah komole. Sincerely I have no idea what this one means. If you know, please enlighten me. All the people I've asked didn't know what it means. But they always jump out of their seats when this song is raised. Well I know that they don't jump to the meaning of the words. They jump to the rhythm, melody and syncopation of the beat and voice of the singer.
4. And I I I I’m lost without you.  You are lost without who ? Again the person you’re singing to is left for everyone to decide. It could be your boyfriend or girlfriend, child or daughter. I saw a movie wherein a man held the hands of his lover and looked at her in the eyes during A romantic date as Michael W. Smith’s version of I’m lost without you played in the background.
The message of a song is supposed to be clear enough so that anyone who hears know you’re singing and professing your love and adoration for the Lord Jesus Christ . But most songs today are like speaking in tongues. You hear it but you have no idea what they are talking about.
True worship is in spirit and in truth. The truth is the Lord Jesus Christ. How can we claim to worship him when we avoid mentioning his name in our song ? How can we claim that the Holy Ghost came down when our song doesn’t confess the Christ that sent the Spirit ? How can we claim to worship him when those who hear us won't know whom we are worshipping ?
I don't blame people though. worship and singing oforna lot of people is just an experience. it is for them an opportunity to feel some goose pimples, fall down on the floor, get up, dust themselves and go home.
Let me stop here. I'll continue sometime later.
