Consider for a moment the following song lyrics.
They are pretty much your standard fare for a love song with someone being caught up in anticipation of intimacy with a lover. Now have someone on stage sing this three times with the audience on its feet with raised hands, and we call it a worship song. That's right. This is "The More I Seek You" by Kari Jobe.
And then churches wonder why their members feel no need to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The more i seek you,
the more i find you
The more i find you, the more I love you
I wanna sit at your feet
drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breath, here your heart beat
This love is so deep, it's more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace, it's overwhelming

Some of the worst "worship" songs out there are these types of "boyfriend Jesus" things. ARGH!
