So I just heard this song for the first time:
Even When It Hurts by Hillsong
I had to do a double take and look up the lyrics when I heard
Quote:
Even when the fight seems lost
I'll praise You
Even when it hurts like hell
I'll praise You
Even when it makes no sense to sing
Louder then I'll sing Your praise
|
Is that appropriate?!? A curse word in a worship song (from an extremely reputable ministry)!
Maybe they are considering it to mean the literal hell and saw nothing wrong with it, but the connotation for the line "hurts like hell" is not worshipful but is highly disrespectful. I am very surprised to see this released by Hillsong.
