Christianese
So I was looking through my book of music for worship songs today, and it really struck me how many songs have either lyrics or titles that would be completely foreign to anyone who hasn't been around the Christian scene that long. Think about it: "Open the Eyes of my Heart." Morbid literal picture if you ask me. Not saying the lyrics aren't meaningful for those who know the heart behind what the lyrics represent, but if you knew nothing about faith or God, what would you think if you visited a church who sang that? The songs shouldn't go, I just need to make a more concerted effort to critically think about what I'm singing and why.
