Psalm 137:1-9 NKJV
By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept When we remembered Zion. [2] We hung our harps Upon the willows in the midst of it. [3] For there those who carried us away captive asked of us a song, And those who plundered us requested mirth, Saying, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!” [4] How shall we sing the LORD’s song In a foreign land? [5] If I forget you, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget its skill! [6] If I do not remember you, Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth- If I do not exalt Jerusalem Above my chief joy. [7] Remember, O LORD, against the sons of Edom The day of Jerusalem, Who said, “Raze it, raze it, To its very foundation!” [8] O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed, Happy the one who repays you as you have served us! [9] Happy the one who takes and dashes Your little ones against the rock!
We don’t pay royalties, not that it is right, but that this relives us from the major point of the topic discussed in this video.
Brian Doerksen, when he wrote “Come, now is the time to worship“, in an interview many years ago, said that he did not mean anything deeply theological when he wrote “One day ev’ry tongue will confess You are God. One day ev’ry knee will bow“. When I look at that verse, it is Biblical, and it gives us hope. Therefore I find nothing wrong in it.
Some folks don’t sing a song unless the name of Jesus is explicitly mentioned in it, other churches take a song from the secular “Top of the Pops” hoping to draw in souls.
The way I see it, the song has to be what the Lord has commanded, meaning that it should not be anti-Biblical and/or foolish.
The question of theological meanings behind a verse, if ambiguous, have to be explained, but that goes along with what is taught.
So, as you have been doing in the past, if in doubt, ask.
