The Pastor and wife were Americans. It went like this I think - (from Psalms) The testimony of the Lord is pure making wise the simple, Much sweeter than the honey from the honeycomb. I have a feeling there's a line or two missing. But the tune has never left me. That's what in my church we refer to as scripture songs. Basically they put scripture to music. I looooove that too. That is from Psalm 19-7-10,14 with verse 10 being the chorus. Quote 7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of theLord is sure, making wise the simple. 8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of theLord are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

Pity churches don't sing praise/chorus songs anymore. Trying not to sound picky and dare I say "old!!", but repeating verse one 6 times before getting to the chorus with these modern worship songs, makes me feel like I'm being brainwashed? All I want really is to sit down and hear the Word of God preached? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The phrase has been around for years and is used by those who don't like contemporary Christian music. It's not literally singing about Jesus as a boyfriend.

These just don't make it for me as giving thanks, Praising and glorifying the Lord.

For those individuals that have had little or no human love, compassion etc shown to them throughout their lives, I can see that it would appeal.
