Members trc123 Posted September 8, 2008 Members Share Posted September 8, 2008 Does Anybody Hear Her She is running A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction She is trying But the canyon's ever widening In the depths of her cold heart So she sets out on another misadventure just to find She's another two years older And she's three more steps behind Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see? Or does anybody even knows she's going down today Under the shadow of our steeple With all the lost and lonely people Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see? She is yearning For shelter and affection That she never found at home She is searching For a hero to ride in To ride in and save the day And in walks her prince charming And he knows just what to say Momentary lapse of reason And she gives herself away If judgement looms under every steeple If lofty glances from lofty people Can't see past her scarlet letter And we never even met her He is running A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually pretty mild for CCM, as far as the music goes... not that I'm excusing CCM, but I do think a lot of Casting Crowns songs are good lyric-wise.

Guest Guest Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Casting Crowns is very good music. I have the CD..."What If His People Prayed." It is awesome, and very uplifting to the Lord Jesus Christ. Good stuff, indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kevinmiller Posted September 11, 2008 Members Share Posted September 11, 2008 That's a really great song. It's on the album "Lifesong." Most of their songs have very to-the-point and powerful lyrics. I like that. I don't like CCM where you have to try and guess what the song is talking about. A little bit is okay because music is poetry and symbolism but it's not spiritually uplifting if it's very difficult to figure out. This song deals with a real problem facing us today, especially with so many broken homes. Instead of realizing their need, we are far quicker to judge them.

Moderators Salyan Posted September 15, 2008 Moderators Share Posted September 15, 2008 Can I rant a wee bit? I'm getting a little tired of seeing Casting Crowns promoted on this site -- I know it does not meet the Online Baptist standards. Can we please stick to sharing and discussing what is actually allowed here? (Rant over now. :smile) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kevinmiller Posted September 15, 2008 Members Share Posted September 15, 2008 Should we not discuss anything that you don't agree with? Calvinism, re-baptism, pants on women, etc.? Some of us appreciate the contribution some conservative Christian CCM artists have made to Christian society. He didn't post any music. If someone here has a problem with the words simply because it came from a group they don't like, they're going way overboard, because there is nothing wrong with those lyrics.

Moderators Salyan Posted September 15, 2008 Moderators Share Posted September 15, 2008 You're right - there is nothing wrong with those lyrics. But the song is more than just lyrics. To discuss and promote this song which was written music, lyrics, and all by a CCM group whose music has already been disallowed by a mod seems... inappropriate. I apologize if I'm going overboard in wishing such promotion to cease. I may not personally agree with this sort of CCM, however, I did not appeal to my own preferences when 'ranting,' but rather to the rules of the board - which I joined because I agreed with said rules! Am I interpreting those incorrectly? May I disagree with one point you made above?If someone here has a problem with the words simply because it came from a group they don't like, they're going way overboard, because there is nothing wrong with those lyrics. It is not 'going overboard' to apply standards of separation. The words are good -- but they are associated with that which is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
