What's a Christian song you don't like, and why?

When I was a little girl, my mom had a 78 record of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen that was SLOW and it scared me so much!! I'd run to my bed and hide whenever she would put it on the record player.

You'd need to define what counts as a "Christian song".

Deep loud manly voices singing random words of praise about a God I'm terrified of... I wonder why? 🤔

Hi Lucian, have you tried maybe listening to those that may have softer voices if that helps?

Amazing Grace. I don’t know why I don’t like it but I never have.

I don’t like the lyrics and I don’t like the melody, either.

I actually sang that one during Communion yesterday at church because most of the people knew it and would sing with me. Our organist was out, so we just sang a capella. I thought of you while singing it and tried to make it sound as pleasant as possible in case someone else didn't like it either.

I'm okay, nothing really remarkable about my sound, but I can make it pretty and I have good range and can be loud.

Generally Christian songs whose writers aim to be popular instead of to worship God

There's a depressing amount of so-called "worship" music around these days that's either theologically thin to useless, or places most if not all of the focus on man. But then people start to protest because, you know, they love that song, so whether it's pleasing to God gets lost in the mix somewhere.

Sometimes it seems like a comparison would be to look at the laws for a sacrifice. God says he wants a bull, one year old, without blemish. We find something kinda-sorta cow shaped, it makes a noise a bit like a moo, so that's close enough. Is it a male? Is it a year old? Is it without blemish? Who knows, who cares, it moos so isn't that enough? We're giving something after all.
