A friend shared your music on Instagram about a month ago, and I have listened to it all day, every day ever since! I'm 41, and I can say that I lost my fire for a bit... but it's back and here to stay! He has delivered me from darkness, and now I can't stop sharing and worshiping Him!
Sorry to be the lone voice of criticism in the crowd, but I had some thoughts on how this song may fall into one of the most common pitfalls of CCM, and Christianity in general, these days. When we take ourselves out of the moment, pledging ourselves to be righteous in the long run, it removes us from our capacity to say yes to death to self in the moment and comes across as ingenuine. The common problem for Christians is to procrastinate righteousness: “I’ll be faithful tomorrow and forsake loving those around me and dying to self today”. Worship rife with proclamations of future faithfulness make this practice a habit. Another issue tied into this is how self-focused and self-serving this kind of worship is. When we talk about ourselves for the majority of the song, how is this showing us that our God is truly the one we’re worshipping. And for those caught in suffering, when we’re approaching worship we don’t need to be reminded about how we’re gonna be faithful in 50 years, we need to see God’s glory and provision NOW. And we do this by preaching to our souls in worship the characteristics of our all powerful God now. Self-focused future set worship only leads us to push God into the distance and set ourselves in the center, drawing us into our post-modernist self-centered cultural moment, and bringing its baggage with it. Hope this may be thought provoking, not an opprobrium.
