but is completely clean

Sometimes I understand why some believers don't listen to Christian music stations: because they make questionable choices about what they air. Whether it is the nonstop Christmas carols from Thanksgiving to New Year's to the random secular choices they play to the terrible song choices written by believers. My case in point today: a new song by some new artist who was called into Christian music according to her bio.

Has she listened to her own lyrics for her song? I have issues with at least two lines. First, the chorus states that because we're on "Your shoulders" we're free to be ourselves. Um, no we're not. Being ourselves is what got us separated from God in the first place, with a need for a cross to bridge the gap. The Bible actually calls us to be like Him, not ourselves.

Secondly, "perfection is my enemy"? No, it is in fact decidedly NOT the enemy. Satan and the world is our enemy. Perfection is actually our goal. That's the whole point of sanctification. In fact, because our base nature doesn't naturally seek perfection, we needed Perfection to save us by dying on the cross for us.

Advice to all Christian musicians: songs that have a world's perspective aren't Christian songs even if they're written and played by a Christian. Go make some more secular albums and once you've gotten it out of your system and can free yourself of the world, then go write some songs from a Christian perspective. Then maybe I can listen to the radio in peace.
