Before the Throne of God Above

Thank you for posting this song, one of my favorites! Be blesssed!!

Few songs can be considered perfect depictions of the relationship we share with our blessed Lord.... Songs like I can only Imagine, Amazing Grace and Before the throne of God Above come to mind. I owe all I am to my savior and stand in awe daily at what He did for me individually. People of the United States wake up and realize we are a blessed nation and light to all of the world. Use your remaining breath to proclaim the mighty word of God. There will come a day when every knee will bow.

superb song!

Please man, if you're going to represent the name of Jesus Christ wherever you go, you must tame your tongue! Subject to popular opinion, the word "b__chy" is a curse word, and should not be said by a slave of Christ. Thanks man, take care. :)

There is a difference between swearing and cursing. For it to be a curse word, it's motivation must be to offend. I swear, but i do not curse. There is nothing wrong with swearing, and in fact Paul swore fairly often if you translate literally. The meanings of words change, and so it makes no sense to give power to a word. The evil lies in the motivation and the desired effect, not the word itself. Having said that, I realise that some may have been offended and for that I apologise. God bless.

That's why the Bible talks about building your brothers, and not taking them down. Being careful about speaking cruelly when it is not good for someone to hear it. Swearing is very useful, and is an important part of our language. I understand your argument, and it is a good one, I just respectfully disagree. Don't worry so much about the words as the meaning behind them. Someone can swear all day and save a man, and another can say the sweetest words and watch them burn their brother.

Proverbs says that the slap of a friend is better than honey from an enemy, for the violation is pure and what seems pure is a violation. It's all about motivation, and that verse is as linguistic as it is physical. If it takes swearing to make a point, then I won't hesitate. The point is more important. But as always, Jesus Christ is Lord of my heart, and will remain so, however I express it. God Bless.

10Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. 11Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? 12My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.

6The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. 7All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, 8but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.9With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness.

James 3:3-12
"3When we put its into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.
