In the mid nineties, I had a little red Buick and a big ol’ bass box in the trunk, and would listen to “Christian Rock”, cranked to 11.
(What did you say? Huh? Can you say that again, I didn’t hear you….)
I have gotten away from that genre for many reasons, the least of which may be a loss of hearing, but some songs have stuck with me over the decades.
The artist’s I listened to sought to reflect Scriptural teaching for the most part. They ranged from “preaching” pop culture religion to significant theological teaching. As I listened to the lyrics, I found some to be quite challenging.
To be honest, I listened because I could justify the rock beat with “sanctified lyrics”.
Occasionally I will post a song, supply the lyrics and make a comment or two. If you decide to listen to the tune, turn the speaker down unless you are already deaf. Some of the songs tend to have a certain “volume” about them!
This post will consider the song
Undivine Election – by Grammatrain
Grammatrain was a band that produced cutting lyrics with a signature tune that would grab me and hold me. They put out too few albums, and this particular tune speaks to those who make judgements on others, sitting alone on their moral throne.
Sitting all alone!
Take a listen!
Undivine Election – by Grammatrain
Unholy judge on high above
Unholy finger you point at every one
And you sit alone on your moral throne
None do you serve so you’ve become your own
You must have died
You must have died
You must have died
To have your foolish pride
Black cross within, imagination
While you rid the world of your every sin
So have you become our redemption
A self-righteous master of undivine election
Let me know what you think of the lyrics, and of the tunes!
