"Jesus is my Boyfriend" music

[soldoutochrist]

I'd read about this new phenomenon before (google it-believe me, you'll find a number of articles) but experienced it first hand with a song I heard today entitled My Romance.

Look at the way the flowers bloom for You
They want to show You their beauty Lord
Running waters dance, You and I romance

Chorus:
Unto You be all the glory.
Unto You be all the glory (repeat)

Bridge:
The angels dance around You
The earth it sings about You
Open up the heavens Lord
Let Your Kingdom come to earth

my praises all surround you
my soul can't dance without you
open up the heavens Lord
let Your kingdom come to earth

What say ye? Is it possible that some Christian music is getting too close to that line?

What line? Maybe it is just the feminisation of the church we hear so much about. I really don't have a problem with the lyrics even though they are a little lame.

I thought the song was mediocre. It was the whole , running waters dance , you and I romance that had me a bit uncomfortable

I can come no other way.

Make my flesh melt away.

This a good song. I wouldn't describe this as a "Jesus is my boyfriend" song.

I don't think there's anything wrong with these songs, but that's JMHO. I guess as a man, it would be a bit weird to sing some of them. I remember hearing one about "the kisses of your lips" and that was a bit much for me.

The songs from the website I cited weren't songs I personally have any feeling about-in all honesty, I have not heard half of them. It was just something I found on Google that I thought would add to what I was saying

This is part of the words we are singing from the song Love is Here

Come to the lover
All who want
and you'll want no more..


Kind of interesting-
