A friend played this song to me this week and we were wondering whether you would be able to sing it at church as an item or not?
There is nothing wrong with it theologically, but it is pretty confronting...
what would you do?
White ManWords and music by Michael Gungor and Lisa Gungor
God is not a man
God is not a white man
God is not a man sitting on a cloud
God cannot be bought
God will not be boxed in
God will not be owned by religion
But God is love, God is love, and He loves everyone
God is love, God is love, and He loves everyone
God is not a man
God is not an old man
God does not belong to Republicans
God is not a flag
Not even American
And God does not depend on a government
But God is good, God is good, and He loves everyone
God is good, God is good, and He loves everyone
Atheists and Charlatans and Communists and Lesbians
And even old Pat Robertson, oh God He loves us all
Catholic or Protestant, Terrorist or President
Everybody, everybody, love, love, love, love, loveOh, la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Yeah, I say God is love, God is love, and He loves everyone
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Stop the hating, please just stop the hating now cause God is love
Oh, whoa, la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
So? What do you think?

yea, doesn't really appeal to me, its true that God is love, but God is more than that. I think politics and regilion should not mix, and I think this song embodies those kind of themes. I think it may throw up for contraversy than praise to God, that's the whole reason for singing. thats just my 2 cents worth
it may be true...and it may even be appropriate in some contexts, But I would not think it would be appropriate in a worship setting, would it help people to worship God? I doubt it...but it may unnecacarily cause offence, and it may certainly cause people to be distracted from worship.....
