As teens, we used to sit in church and search our Bibles during the sermon. We were looking for any passages in scripture that could be construed as "off color" or nasty. LOL. You'd be amazed at how many there are!! Especially if you are a young teen. At that stage in life, everything could be considered shady if you think about it long enough. Weren't we awful!
Yeah, you were!

One of the men at our church thought these were the lyrics to the song "Shout with a Voice of Triumph":
Shout with the boys from China,
Shout with the boys from Spain,
Shout with the boys from China,
Shout with the boys from Spain!
I guess he pictured people from all different countries gathering together to shout and praise the Lord!

When one of my children was VERY young, we sang one of my least liked songs in church. It was. "Get Your Mind On Jesus". The chorus was.......
PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER,
PUT BOTH FEET ON THE FLOOR.
LET THE HOLY GHOST MOVE
FROM THE PULPIT TO THE DOOR.
SOMEBODY HELP ME SING.
SOMEBODY HELP ME SHOUT.
GET YOUR MIND ON JESUS, LET’S HAVE CHURCH.
However, my little one would sing at the top of her lungs.
PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER BOLT ME TO THE FLOOR
LET THE HOLY GHOST MOVE
FROM THE PULPIT TO THE DOOR.
SOMEBODY HELP ME SING.
SOMEBODY HELP ME SHOUT.
GET YOUR MIND ON JESUS, LET’S HAVE CHURCH
She could not be convinced it was anything different LOL When she was older, I reminded her of this. She said, "Well, Mama, The way people went beserk on that song it SHOULD have been BOLT ME TO THE FLOOR."

What about the song that said Praise The Lord I'll have a new body,Praise The Lord I'll have a new wife.
When I was a kid I went to a Charismatic church that sung choruses I thought they we're singing there will be glory and Holler and praises.
Therefore the redeemed of The Lord shall return out of hiding,I thought they were singing.

There they can find plenty of fault.
The worst, by far, was At the Cross.
I have no idea why I sang it this way:
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,
And the blessings of my heart rolled away,
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day!
I know a guy when he was a kid used to sing "I am a turnip with a hole out in the end" for "I am determined to hold out to the end" I die laughing everytime I've heard him tell the story.
My daughter Bekah used to make up her own lines... she obviously heard what she wanted to in church. I'll have to remember some and post later.
