The Sound-ness of Music

So, I'm not a huge fan of "Christian music." I see so many theological and cultural issues with having a sub-culture of music labeled "Christian," that it just bugs me. I won't rant about that here, mostly because I'm pretty sure my ranting isn't beneficial and may itself have many theological and cultural issues! But, here's the thing, when there's a song that I hear that's sound and ministers to me, I want to share it, "Christian" or not, here's one I'm loving right now:

"You Are Being Loved" by Stephen Curtis Chapman

(From the album, This Moment)

So you think love is only for the good enough

And one thing you're never gonna be worthy of

But there's a song being sung over you

By the One who breathes life into you

Refrain

You are being loved

You are being loved

Right now at this very moment

You are being loved

You are being loved

Right now you are being loved, loved, loved

You are being loved, loved

You are

You ought to see the smile You're bringing to your Father's face

You ought to hear Him sing His version of Amazing Grace

'cause that's the song being sung over you

By the God who breathes life into you Refrain

With every breath that you're taking

And every beat of your heart

Even while this song is playing

Whatever you do

Wherever you are

There's a song being sung over you Refrain

You are loved, loved, loved

You are being loved, loved,

You are

You are being, you are being, you are being loved

You are being, you are being, you are being loved right now

There's a song being sung over you

There's a song being sung over you

There's a song being sung over you

There's a song being sung over you

You are being loved (There's a song being sung over you)

You are being loved (There's a song being sung over you)

You are being loved (There's a song being sung over you)

You are being loved (There's a song being sung over you)

You are being loved (There's a song being sung over you)

You are being loved (There's a song being sung over you)

You are being loved (There's a song being sung over you)

You are being loved (There's a song being sung over you)

Right now

There's a song being sung over you

There's a song being sung over you

There's a song being sung over you

There's a song being sung over you

Right now

It's hard to imagine a song that conveys more truth and potential to melt our hearts in praise than this one. Hope you enjoy it, let it preach to you the next time the world and Satan are takin' swings at you.
