'Lived to die.' Do you consider this accurate enough if Jesus did more than come to Earth only to die?
'Rejected and alone.' Was Jesus still in union with the Father?
'Like a rose.' Is this simply poetic or overly-sentimental language? Does it fit stylistically? Roses typically symbolise romance, fragility and beauty.
'Thought of me above all.' Does this promote a me-centered view of salvation? Is this theologically sloppy?

Whether it's 'rains' or 'reigns' (different sources provide different wording), Chorus line 3 is a mixed metaphor and doesn't make sense. While the ambiguity means the line probably won't stand out to everyone, listeners who engage closely with the language will likely notice that it doesn't quite hold together.

'Emptied Himself of all but love' could suggest kenosis. More likely it's a way of saying that He gave up all to follow the Father's will and go through the greatest act of love by sacrificing Himself for us. Nevertheless, you may see this as too sloppy.

'Apple of my eye' is technically a biblical phrase, but in those instances describes how God views us (David, Israel) so you may consider this to be misapplication of Scripture.
'Real joy-giver' is quite a clunky line.

'The mountains shake and crumble' and 'The oceans roar and tumble'. Neither of these are strictly from Scripture.
'Creation sings Your story'. What does this mean? The Psalms refer to creation revealing His glory, but would you see 'singing (telling) His story' as being more than this? (i.e. a vague or incorrect reference to God's overall plan being revealed solely through creation). Ambiguous at best.

Lines like "He's never let me down" may be unrelatable to people who are going through trials. It depends whether you believe there's wisdom in prophetically declaring these truths or in relying on more objective lyrics instead.

Potential Issues
'The war on death was waged' suggests that the outcome still wasn't clear, despite it being secured in God's sovereign plan.
Did 'Heaven look away'?
Some versions include 'reckless' as a descriptor of God's love, which may be inadvisable.

What is the Scriptural basis for 'Our love is the secret that I find'?
Are members of your congregation likely to see these lyrics as too sentimental and romantic? This may depend on your view of Song of Solomon, and how much you believe this should be part of worship.

Is God always 'pleased'? Do you think that's particularly dangerous if sung by or around non-believers and anyone who is unrepentant?
Does everyone know of a 'tender whisper of love in the dead of night' or is that a weak metaphor?
Generally-speaking, this song is extremely heavy on subjective experience.

'Been through hell'. Do you believe this is appropriate? Whilst we may go through parts of life that we colloquially describe as hell, this line risks trivializing eternal punishment.

Earth is part of eternity so one cannot walk from one to the other. This may be a clumsy way of saying "eternal life after death".

May be pointing to a greater message than simply speaking the name of Jesus but if taken at face value (as many will), this would be misleading and point towards word-of-faith theology.
Use with discernment and if you can find a way to make it singable (as the range is nearly two octaves - well outside what the vast majority can sing).

'Shake up the ground of all my tradition' and 'break down the walls of all my religion'. The sentiment is good in that we don't want "ways of doing things" to unintentionally become more important to us than God himself. However, it is ambiguous and could lead some to abandon legitimate church practice and doctrine.
'Shake up the ground' also doesn't seem to make much sense as a phrase.

You might believe that the concept of 'new wine' is being misapplied in this context. Also, neither 'crushing' nor 'pressing' are mentioned explicitly in Scripture but probably make sense to most people in the context of 'making wine'.

What does 'mystery' mean? Biblically-speaking, 'mystery' usually refers to God's revealed plan in Christ, whereas this appears to refer to an undefined personal experience.
Do you think the phrase 'keep my eyes above the waves' suggests this is our striving rather than faith?
'Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander'. Mixes metaphors between walking and being in water.

Here we go... is the term 'reckless' one that you're comfortable applying to God?
I haven't marked this as "unsound", as opinions differ. Some may consider it heretical; others may view "reckless" as a human expression of God's extravagant love, rather than a literal description of His nature.

'Tearing down prison walls'. This incorrectly attributes the walls of Paul and Silas' prison falling because of human performance, rather than the Spirit.
'See that promised land, no longer slaves'. As believers, we are already 'no longer slaves'.
'Get that promise, just like Jericho...'. Do you think this sounds like 'name it, claim it' theology?
