Song? There are songs. Listen to? It's in Church worship. Here is just a sample..

Breathe on Me
Breathe on me, breathe on me
Holy Ghost power breathe on me
Yesterday's gone today I'm in need
Holy Ghost power breathe on me
Rain on me, rain on me
Holy Ghost shower rain on me
Yesterday's gone today I'm in need
Holy Ghost shower rain on me
Burn in me, burn in me
Holy Ghost fire burn in me
Yesterday's gone, today I'm in need
Holy Ghost power, breath on me.
 
Breathe on Us
There is a shaking
Let hearts awaken
Our God is moving
Forever changing us
There is a trembling
There is revival
The sound of worship
So great and glorious
Holy Spirit hear us now
Breathe on us
Holy fire fall
Come and fill this place with
Your presence
Like a rushing wind
Send Your spirit here
Breath of Heaven breathe on us
Breath of Heaven breathe on us
Lift up your hands and shout
The Lord is with us now
Lift up your voice and sing
He is Holy
 
 

Well that is a lot of breathing. I check them out on Youtub and well.....not my cup of tea.  But not all new Christian songs are like that. The ones I like don't have any one breathing on them. :D

what argument?The thing about those songs  is amazing grace etc revolved around Jesus or God.  many songs  nowadays are party/dance songs with a sprinkling or biblical words  here or there. a it's notbthe genre that's the issue,but the content

Could  you cite the lyrics to an actual song and then maybe an intellectually honest conversation could be had?

Often, I notice in today's lyrics, we have Jesus 'breathing all over us' yuk. lol.

21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”   John 20:21-22 NIV

Many overlook that the good old hymns we have today are the result of a distilling process whereby the church kept the best of the best over generations.  The gems we have today are the result of the church culling thousands upon thousands of songs and keeping the very best ones.

Isaac Watts is credited with over 700 hymns.  Outside of Joy to the World, O God our Help in Ages Past, Alas and Did My Savior Bleed, and a few others, most are forgotten.   Charles Wesley is credited with publishing about 6000 of which the vast majority are forgotten other than Hark the Herald Angels Sing, O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing, and a few more.  Fanny Crosby (known for Blessed Assurance and To God Be the Glory) wrote several thousand hymns and songs.   Three of the most beloved hymn writers of the church and the vast majority of the songs they wrote are forgotten and haven't been sung in a long time.

If history is any guide, the majority of songs and hymns written by this generation will be sung a few times by a few people and then forgotten.  But there will be some gems that this generation contributes that will become beloved by following generations.

Compare:  18 minutes of, 

 "I could sing of your love forever, I could sing of your love forever. I could sing of your love forever, I could sing of your love forever. I could sing of your love forever, I could sing of your love forever. I could sing of your love forever, I could sing of your lover forever. I could sing of your love forever, I could sing of your love forever. I could sing of your love forever, I could sing of your love forever.  I could sing of your love forever, I could sing of your love forever. I could sing of your love forever, I could sing of your love forever. I could sing of your love forever, I could sing of your love forever. I could sing of your love forever, I could sing of your love forever."

VS. 

1 When I survey the wondrous cross
on which the Prince of glory died,
my richest gain I count but loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.

2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast
save in the death of Christ, my God!
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them through his blood.

3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingled down.
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown?

4 Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were a present far too small.
Love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all.

 

The first song is not worship; it's hypnosis. 

The second is what worship sounds/looks like.

exactly

Well all in all I guess, if you don't like a song you don't have to listen to it. Works for me anyway. :D
