Well, I wouldn't say it surprises me as I am quite aware that the country
genre is more "christian" oriented than pop, but
it's really very blunt, and quite a put down to anybody who isn't christian.
And I think it's this bluntness that caught me off guard.
And this is what amazes me the most. My sister (whom I love dearly of
course), said, "You're misinterpreting the song. The only thing that song is
saying is that jesus was there with her when her parents died." Yeah
RIGHT>....
Well there was a little debate, and I walked away wondering how many
christians hear that song and just either don't see or don't care to see
it's real meaning.
