I am uncomfortable with some of the "Romantic" Worship songs like:
"I want to sit at your feet, drink from the cup in your hand. Lay back against you and breathe and feel your heartbeat. This love is so deep - it's more than I can stand"
Just a little too intense for me.
Like the one...
Into thy presence, sweet holy Spirit,
Speak to me softly as I close the door,
Heavenly lover let thy spirit hover,
Shekinah unending is all I long for!

I can understand where you're coming from, but Kari Jobe's version of this song is absolutely beautiful.

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
The worst songs I have heard most will never hear. My daugther is friends with a girl whose father is an executive in Nashville at a major Christian record label. This girl gave my daughter a CD to listen to compiled of the worst song submissions the record company had received.
They were mind numbing and would have been hilarious if not just so sad that people actually thought these songs were good.
One contemporary Christian song in particular dealt with us "dying to Christ" by having bizzarre lyrics including repeatedly loudly declaring "so KILL me, Kill me, etc, etc". The songwriters intent was good but it was sounded crazy and to a non christian not understanding what he was trying to say it sounded suicidal.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
Are you ready for this? Does anybody remember "Death on the Highway (and I didn't hear nobody pray)"? Also "The Little Wooden Shelf Behind the Door". Terrible, terrible songs, I tell you.
