There's a book on my bookshelf somewhere that I haven't read which goes by that name.
Last Sunday, I worked out the answer: The song Blessed be your name. Or to be more specific, the bridge and the last line of every chorus in the song Blessed be your name.
They're high. Extremely high. Unnaturally high if you're a post-pubescent male. Those parts of the song are getting up in the range of only being able to be heard by animals and plants. And to be brutally honest I have theological issues with having songs of praise to our God written to only be heard by animals and plants.
Then again, it is kind of biblical.
New from Matt Redman and Chris Tomlin:

High notes aside, Christian men ought to love Blessed Be Your Name because the bridge bit is kinda a bit of a yoink from the bridge of U2's With Or Without You, and as we know, U2 are every Christian males Favourite Band Ever. So they should be eating that stuff up.
ReplyDeleteWow, so snide and it's only 8am.
On another note, being the Tiny Tim that I am, I look forward to the few songs that are in a high key. Most church songs I find really low and hard to belt out. For every yin thereis a yang, Brother Izaac.
Too true Ben. I have completely missed the point of this song. It is actually all about attracting U2 fans, adolescent males, and jockeys. It's simply an admirable attempt at including these otherwise neglected groups.
