Jesus and Lyrics

To some, this post may make you laugh. Tonight, a group of us went to the Jason Mraz concert at Purdue. I love Jason Mraz, well, I love his music. But after listening to some of his lyrics, I began to realize exactly what some of his songs were saying. Lets just say that there were a lot of sexual innuendos. On the way home, we were listening to music that was going to help us stay awake since the majority of us were running on very few hours of sleep. A lot of the songs were very upbeat as far as the music went. Now, for the the lyrics, they weren't so upbeat. After listening to a couple of the songs, I began to realize how many of the songs that I thought were really great and I loved to listen to were degrading to women and to ourselves in general. Not only are they degrading to us, but they are degrading to Christ. I kept thinking about what God would have to say about what we were listening to. The reason as to why I said that some may laugh about this post is because I usually do not get offended by things such as this. It wasn't that I was offended, but I truly was shocked. I am not sure if I have just sheltered myself so much lately that hearing things like this threw me off, or if I just never really payed any attention to the songs before and for the first time they were showing. This has me wondering, are we pleasing God in everything we do if we are listening to music like that? So what if we think the music is great just not the lyrics. Are we not filling our minds with the lyrics by listening to it anyways?
