Points For Consideration

  • 'Thought of me above all' - does this 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 quite hold together.

Points For Consideration

  • '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.

  • 'The sound of the Saviour's robe as He walks into the room.' Do you believe Jesus is physically present in such a way that you can hear His robe or is this acceptable as poetic license? See Welcome Language.

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 where theology is learned first, so a factual error about Christ's humanity isn't harmless just because it sounds sweet.
  • 'Little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes'. This 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.

  • 'For every mountain, for every time You brought me through' - this could be seen as ambiguous, and newer believers in particular may see this as a suggestion that mountains in our way are always removed when we trust in God. See "Expectation Theology".

  • Simply put, this carol has a church atmosphere without much church content. Angels and bells, yes, but Jesus is never mentioned, nor His birth, nor why anyone is singing. It works as a festive choir piece, but it's hard to justify giving it a congregational slot that a song with actual content could fill.

  • 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.

  • 'I see a near revival'. What is the basis for this? 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'.

  • Seems very close to 'name it, claim it' theology. The original intent was probably to point to a greater message, but if seen as suggesting we just need to speak the name of Jesus to achieve some kind of 'breakthrough' (as some will), this would be highly misleading. See "Name It, Claim It".

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. Whatever his personal beliefs, the hymn itself 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).

  • Enthroning God upon our praise is theologically backwards as He is already enthroned eternally.
  • Is it our singing that creates 'grave shaking power'? See "Name It, Claim It".

  • '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 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 little 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.

  • 'Pray into the atmosphere' - what does this mean? We pray to God, not merely 'into the atmosphere'.
  • 'I draw a permanent boundary line' - what is your opinion on issuing personal territorial decrees? See "Worship as a Weapon".
  • Generally very heavy on word of faith (or at least adjacent) language.

  • It's worth noting that this frames Jesus as a moral teacher and liberator, rather than God on earth for our salvation. The original translator (being Unitarian) omitted the words from the original French that mentioned Jesus coming to wipe away the stain of sin.

Points For Consideration

  • (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 will 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' - a nice, but 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'.

  • How do you feel about applying the title 'rebel priest' to Jesus?
  • Is Friday only good because Sunday is coming? The cross was the triumph.

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

  • Matthew never calls them kings or says there were three of them (Matthew 2:1-11). They were magi (probably astrologers or scholars) from the east. 'Kings' comes from later tradition linking them to Psalm 72:10-11, and 'three' is based on the number of gifts.

Points For Consideration

  • Do you believe God's glory is 'hidden in creation'? This may just be imprecise or poetic, but Romans 1:20 appears to suggest the opposite.
  • 'You didn't want Heaven without us'. Do you think this implies that God 'needs' us or is incomplete in some way, rather than desiring our redemption?

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.
