Is it just me  or do some of these modern gospel songs sound like theyre just phrases patched together?

Classic gospel song tended to string together and say a definate statement. E.g.

The vilest offender who truly believes ,that moment from Jesus a pardon receives

I just heard a modern  one  on the radio

check the lyrics-


Primary singer.
i need you to prophesy,prophesy through  your body language'!
Backup singers-? I am just one praise  away from my breakthrough ?
WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN

Music talent is definitely lacking in many supposed "artists".  I prefer the old hymns, although even some of them contain a confusing message if you really consider the words.  The Old Rugged Cross is one that comes to mind, makes no sense at all.

God bless

Here's a joke about that song. I hate it . Or At least the way we sing it at my church (very slow and dragging).when i told someone,the man said "Demons  hate that  song"

So my questions are-

1. How does he know,does he have regular  contact with demons and 2. Whats he trying to imply  by that remark?

I am guessing those are rhetorical questions cause I certainly can't answer for him lol.  Maybe what you should do is ask him what idolatry means to him?  Cling to an old rugged cross?  Not this guy, this guy will cling to the One who died on that cross. ;)

God bless

I believe it is both...

1Co_1:23  But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
1Co_2:2  For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

 

That's an interesting suggestion, but crucified to me is speaking to His death, not the object He was hung on.  I just see the whole song as way off base, just my opinion.

God bless

The first lyric you have there is from the song, To God Be The Glory .

Quote

 

To God be the glory, great things He has done; 
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son, 
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin, 
And opened the life gate that all may go in.

Refrain:
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, 
Let the earth hear His voice! 
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, 
Let the people rejoice! 
O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son, 
And give Him the glory, great things He has done.

O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood, 
To every believer the promise of God; 
The vilest offender who truly believes, 
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.

Refrain:
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, 
Let the earth hear His voice! 
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, 
Let the people rejoice! 
O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son, 
And give Him the glory, great things He has done.

Great things He has taught us, great things He has done, 
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son; 
But purer, and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.

I know that. I was comparing the fact that-to God be the glory makes use of  lyrics which have a point. The second one is nonsensical

OK, thank you. Your post made it sound like that second lyric was an actual song lyric.
