A most excellent evaluation of the --??--style/content"!!!
May be a trite point for some, but for some, me included, I am totally turned OFF by these obvious - to me anyway - feministic adulations to Christ/Jesus/God.
Perhaps it has something to do with the last many years of male bashing & trying to get him to find "his" feminine side that these type lyrics are so --??!!--.:BangHead:

As a women I also find the 'Jesus is my boyfriend' type songs also off putting and disturbing. Now I will say I don't think its the age of the song that makes it good or not (since I can think of a fairly popular hymn that is a boyfriend type song) but it is the content that I think is important when looking at songs for singing in church.

I also don't like those types of songs (not "In the Garden"...I like that one).....BTW and for what it's worth, I'd also feel uncomfortable if our pastor read through the Song of Solomon :eek: -
Our church uses mostly older songs, but the youth choir does sing some more modern songs and we do certain arrangements. One of the girls at church sings Amazing Grace to me playing House of the Rising Sun on guitar.
