It's the 'Us vs. Them' Mentality that stinks within the CoC. While we will dog out 'their' theology we are taking 'our' sick members to 'their' hospitals and schools and clinics. We sing songs from songbooks written by denominational writers and justify it by saying that there are still going to hell!!! Hypocrisy is what it is. There are very few songs written by 'Us' so until that happens some of us need to simply hush.
Although I like the song and understand its metaphorical meaning... we must be cautious of adopting songs song by Denominations because there could be a compromise regarding the Holy Scriptures and what it teaches. Another popular song adopted is "TWO WINGS". This song sounds good when sung, but promotes too many inaccuracies regarding the Scriptures. We must remember that in worshipping God... we have been instructed to do so in Spirit and in "TRUTH".
@Deaundrey23 It's not stated in scripture. The song is metaphorical in Jesus being our protector and savior from sin and the troubles that plague the earth.(I'm gonna hide behind the mountain, Jesus is the mountain, where chilly winds don't blow). This song isn't right or wrong for us to sing; Just an expression of praise for what he does when we get behind him.
im a song leader @ the Xis Street Church Of Christ..... where in the bible does it say were going to hide behind the mountain.. thought i might ask that question to see if either of us could get an understand to what it is that were singing...
