Elder, I DO understand what you are talking about. But let me ask you...the music to Holy, Holy, Holy is wonderful, and when changing the last two lines, I sing it gladly...must we throw aside every piece of music because of the one who wrote it or the intention of the writer?!
The spirit of the above mentioned song is worship...respectfully, the only Spirit I feel with that song is the Holy Spirit.
Barb,
I really don't have anything against the music to that song particularly. It is not the kind of depth of worship music that would command the level of adoration that the words "holy" repeated twice more. The song is too reminiscent of the Trinitarian worship of "God in three persons, blessed trinity" flavor that it was originally written for. It is subjective I suppose. I just chose not to sing the so called Oneness version...if there be one. If you do, I think that I would follow it by singing...
The mighty God is Jesus
the Prince of Peace is he
the everlasing father
the king eternally
wonderful in wisdom
by whom all things are made
the fulness of the Godhead
in Jesus is displayed.
It's all in Him, its all in him
the fullness of the Godhead
is all in Him,
its all in Him, its all in Him
the mighty God is Jesus
and its all in Him....
But this would be right before the choir sung "The Water Way," and just before I preached, "Whom Do Men Say That I Am," I would have the soloist sing, "He's the Lord of Glory, He Is the Great I Am."
Isn't there a really old song we use to sing "It's all in him, it's all in him - the fullness of the godhead, it's all in him? I remember folks shouting to that!

Someone said it was written by a oneness person and the reason why the AOG pulled it out of their hymnals. I don't think that's accurate.
But "All In Him" is one of my favs out of the book!
