“What we’re about is the challenge to communicate that in away that does truly communicate to folk outside of the church.TO GET IT ACROSS IN A WAY THAT ISN’T JUST LIMITEDTO LANGUAGE. I think we’re getting there” (emphasis added)(Martin Smith, cited in “A Delirious New Sound,” Charisma,December 1999, p. 68).is is blind mysticism. e Lord Jesus Christ has notinstructed His people to reach the world without language!He commanded us to preach the gospel to every person andthe gospel has a definite linguistic content (1 Corinthians15:1-4). We have a definite message that is to be preached in aprecise manner. is is how the apostles and early Christiansreached the world, and it is how Christians are to reach theworld today. e world is not reached for Christ with asensual rock song that contains a vague message of“spirituality.”Delirious’s 1998 album, King of Fools, is filled with strange,vague messages and outright unscriptural doctrine. eircharismatic-ecumenical philosophy is evident in the popularsong “Revival Town.”“Well I’ve got a message to bring/ I can’t preach but I can sing/And me and my brothers here/ Gonna play redemptionhymns/ We’re not on our own you know/ It’s all around theworld/ Cos this is the freedom generation/ Living for revival inthis time/Chorus: “Hallelujah, you’ve turned my mourning into dancing/Revival town/ at’s what they’re calling this place now/Revival town/ It’ll put a smile on your face now/ Revival town.“Well I’ve got a story to tell/ About the King above all kings/He spoke for peace, hope and justice/ ings that we all needtoday/ You let a broken generation/ Become a dancinggeneration/ at is revival generation/ You may not hear it onthe radio/ But YOU CAN FEEL IT IN THE AIR” (Delirious,“Revival Town,” King of Fools).is song, like a large percentage of the songs played by thenew CCM groups, is almost meaningless because its message82
is so unclear. It is blind mysticism. Delirious claims they are“gonna play redemption hymns,” but there is no clear gospelpresented in these songs. e name of Jesus Christ is not evenmentioned in the song. When “dancing generation” ismentioned in the context of the type of hard rock musicwhich Delirious plays, it refers not to something spontaneouslike David did before the Lord but to something carnal andworldly. It doesn’t refer to being moved by the Spirit of Godbut to being moved by powerful backbeat music. e worldwould not have appreciated what David did, but the worldloves the type of dancing associated with rock & roll.e Delirious song “All the Way” is even stranger. Considerthe carnal terminology these rock musicians use to describetheir relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ:“Come close to me, too close for words/ And still my beatingheart/ I find your thoughts without one glance/ We’re going allthe way … With you I’m washed as white as snow/ And allcrimson stain becomes just a shadow/ You know I would beblind without you/ So light up my way to find my way homeagain/ Today, today, today, we’re going all the way.”Secular rockers sing songs like this about their sexuallovers. I believe it is blasphemous to speak like this of theChristian’s relationship with Christ. Bands like Deliriousknow what they are doing when they use lyrics like this. eyare playing both to Christians and to the world. It is theworldly “crossover” philosophy that allows them to havebroader appeal and larger music sales.Consider the words to the title song, “King of Fools” —“Walking with you/ Blindly follow out upon the/ Water runsdown/ You’ve become the very best of friends/ I’ll live for youand try to be the king of fools/ I’ll long for you and walk beforethe king of all. Joy has found me/ Living life without you wouldbe/ Hell or heaven/ Soon we’ll find the greatest king of fools.”Contemporary Christian Music fans might argue that Isimply don’t understand the terminology used by thesegroups. I would reply that if a message is not plain it can be83
