Romantic worship music

Here is quick interview clip with Matt Redman. (Redman has written many popular songs such as "Better is One Day," "Blessed be Your Name," and "Heart of Worship.") He honestly addresses the language we use in music sung to Jesus being the same language we would sing to our wives. It's a tough subject with fine lines. As a worship leader I have always struggled and strayed from songs that could also be sung to a girl. The lines are fine because I know what I mean when I use them, but not everyone else may. In that way, many of these songs would be better off used for personal worship rather than corporate.

So I'm not the only one that has felt a little wierd singing some of these songs?

The Mission

2 Tim 4:1-4
I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.
