A protest song?
I grew up in the 1960’s, a time full of protest songs. And this was one of my favorites, an a capella version in English from a German composer.
So what qualifies this as a protest song? BACH was a Protestant.
For years his hymns and music heavily taken from Scripture were banned from the Roman Catholic church (although now, Bach is back even in Catholic worship).
To the King of of the ages
You may have heard today’s short take on Scripture as a benediction of worship:
And the Protest?
..fight the good fight, keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith.
1 Timothy 1:81b-19 NASB20
Even some who claim Christ will not give honor to the Father and glory to God in the Highest.
Do you agree, disagree or have an example?
