Stomach Turning Lyrics

As much as I'm all for singing new & modern worship tunes I draw the line at the emotional & feminized songs that now emphasize relationship over any other aspect of Christian life and duty. Here is my most favorite song to hate, Draw Me Close:

Draw me close to you
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear you say that I'm your friend
Help me find a way to bring me back to you

Chorus:
You're all I want,
You're all I've ever needed
You're all I want,
Help me know you are near

You are my desire
No one else will do
Cause no one else
Can take you place
To feel the warmth of Your embrace
Help me find a way to bring me back to you

Chorus:
You're all I want,
You're all I've ever needed
You're all I want,
Help me know you are near

Sorry guys but if you're comfortable singing that song something is terribly wrong. Read those words again. It's more suited for a man to sing to his wife or vice-versa. It's not a worship song. I agree with David Murrow, if you're a songwriter please write lyrics that draw men into manly worship. Can any of you imagine Stonewall Jackson singing this song? How about Teddy Roosevelt? They'd punch my lights out for even suggesting it if they were alive today.


Murrow has a blurb on this subject on his homepage this month.
