Points For Consideration

Does 'Thought of me above all' promote a me-centered view of salvation?
'Like a rose trampled on the ground' isn't wrong but it's a slightly maudlin image that may distract some.

Points For Consideration

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 many people, listeners who engage closely with the language will likely notice that it doesn't 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 sloppy.

Points For Consideration

This can essentially be summed up as a theological downgrade disguised as a lullaby. Many churches probably use it as a children's song, but children's songs are often how theology is first taught, so a factual error about Christ's humanity isn't harmless just because it sounds sweet.
'Little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes' implies that Jesus didn't do what real babies do, despite Hebrews 2:17, which says He was made like us in every respect. A newborn who never cries isn't somehow more holy, just less human.
Halfway through, the focus shifts from Christ to the singer: 'stay by my cradle', 'be near me', 'love me I pray'. The incarnation lasts for a few lines before it becomes a bedtime prayer for a newborn baby.

Points For Consideration

It's fair to say that these lyrics arguably lean towards experiential charismatic phenomenon. Depending on the theology of your church, it can be argued that there's nothing inherently wrong but it requires strong teaching and leadership for people to understand what these things mean.

Are members of your congregation likely to find these lyrics too sentimental and romantic? This may depend on your view of Song of Solomon, and how much you believe this should be part of sung worship.

Does everyone know of a 'tender whisper of love in the dead of night'?
Is 'You know just what we need before we say a word' taken out of the biblical 'Sermon on the Mount' context of prayer?
Does everyone know the experience of not being able to speak or think or is that acceptable as a metaphor?

This arrangement omits Wesley's lines 'Veiled in flesh the Godhead see, hail th'incarnate Deity; Pleased as man with men to dwell, Jesus our Emmanuel', repeating lines from the previous verse in their place. It also has 'Son of righteousness' rather than 'Sun of Righteousness' (Malachi 4:2). If you like the chorus, it should work just as well with Wesley's original verses.

What is the basis for 'I see a near revival'? It sounds as if it's something we can prophetically declare into existence, rather than something that is God-breathed. Also, can we actually see a 'generation rising up'?
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'.

Points For Consideration

Jesus is never mentioned. It's a carol about the angels' announcement that never says what they actually announced. In place of Jesus, 'peace on earth' becomes the whole message. The writer was a Unitarian minister and this seems to inform the hymn itself, as it reads as a call to world peace rather than a song about the incarnation. It says nothing a non-Christian couldn't happily sing.

Points For Consideration

Christ is mentioned only once in the whole hymn, as 'our Brother' (Hebrews 2:11). It's true, but it's the smallest thing that can be said about Him.
'Father love is reigning o'er us, brother love binds man to man' suggests that God is everyone's Father and all people are His family. That was a popular idea in the early 1900s, but in Scripture, God becomes our Father when we're adopted into His family through Christ (John 1:12, Galatians 4:4-7).

THe sentiment of 'Shake up the ground of all my tradition' and 'break down the walls of all my religion' is good in that we don't want 'ways of doing things' to become more important to us than God himself. However, there is ambiguity and it could lead to abandoning legitimate church practice and doctrine.

Points For Consideration

Mary actually knew a fair amount of what the song asks. Gabriel told her that her son would be holy, the Son of God, and reign on David's throne forever (Luke 1:31-35). She wouldn't have known specifics like walking on water, so the questions are best taken as a poetic device rather than a claim about what she didn't know. Even if the premise is a bit shaky, the device works. Asking 'did you know?' makes us stop and take in what the incarnation actually meant: the baby in Mary's arms was 'the Great I AM'.
With its solo-style melody, it probably works best as a special item or reflective moment rather than a congregational song, but it can still be effective in a service.

(If the relevant verse is used) 'Christian children all must be mild, obedient, good as He.' Jesus was obedient to His parents (Luke 2:51), but no child can be 'good as He'. This makes being a Christian child sound like a matter of behaviour.
(If the relevant verse is used) 'All in white shall wait around.' The writer meant attending on a king, as servants wait on royalty but modern ears are more likely to hear heaven as a boring waiting room.

Risks promoting triumphalism, depending on how you read into the key lyrics.
'I'm gonna see a victory... I know how this story ends' states a specific outcome as guaranteed and already known. Is that a promise Scripture actually makes for every situation? See "Expectation Theology".
'The weapon may be formed but it won't prosper' narrows a corporate promise (Isaiah 54:17) to a guarantee against an individual current circumstance. See "Worship as a Weapon".

Points For Consideration

Use of the word 'evolving' may be problematic for some people, or in some circumstances. Even if one believes in scientific evolution, this could still be seen as suggesting that God isn't fully in control.
'The rocks cry out in silence.' In Luke 19, Jesus says that the rocks will cry out because it's not something that can be suppressed if humans stop, so it perhaps doesn't make sense to copy them by crying out 'in silence'.
Do you believe that Jesus was 'abandoned in darkness'? Some people believe that Jesus remained in union with the Father, and it will largely depend how Isaiah 53 and Jesus' use of Psalm 22 are seen.
'You would again a hundred billion times' is a nice, but ultimately flawed, attempt to illustrate the depths of Jesus' love and sacrifice. The power of the cross is its finality ('It is finished'). According to Hebrews 9: 'Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times... he has appeared once for all ... to do away with sin... Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many, and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation'.

Points For Consideration

'I wanna face that fire...' strips the context of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego saying that even if God doesn't save them, they still won't serve any other gods. This turns it into a dangerous statement of immunity from trials and suffering.
'Tearing down prison walls' incorrectly attributes the walls of Paul and Silas' prison falling to human performance. See "Worship as a Weapon".
'I'm gonna get that promise... I know what'll make it fall' suggests that we possess the knowledge or method that produces a specific outcome. See "Expectation Theology". Also "Name It, Claim It".
Other than the Bridge, you can go through this line by line and see nothing but 'name it, claim it' theology. See "Name It, Claim It".

Points For Consideration

'Darling of heaven' traces back to a Puritan sermon from the 1700s, when 'darling' held more weight (meaning someone singled out for supreme favour). Today, it's intrinsically linked to a pet name for a loved one, so it may land oddly within a modern church setting, where many would see it as twee, rather than reverent.
