I'm not Christian. But I have a certain affinity for some liturgical music. Gregorian chants, arias, and even some Jewish klezmer music can speak to the soul of Bernard Bradshaw (yes, I do have one...I think). Of course, growing up black, I have been exposed to a fair amount of gospel music. My favorite gospel song of all time is, Oh Happy Day.
I'm not all about songs that say Jesus, Jesus, Jesus--but that song holds so many great memories of me growing up with Mother (and the Brothers) Bradshaw. I feel kind of nice and safe and warm on the inside when I hear it--even though I don't quite know what the message of the song is for me.
But despite the fact that I love the song so much, upon review of the lyrics--I kinda feel cheated.
