Music Theory

I have noticed that many or most of the successful pop musicians incorporated God or references to God and his Word, into some of their lyrics, in some way, and I have a theory that this is why the music was blessed by God and went mainstream.  The singers were not ashamed of God, so God was not ashamed of them.


For example,

Sex Pistols - God save the Queen

Heaven 17 - Temptation ('lead us not into temptation')

Beatles - Let it be (Mother Mary comes to me)

Bowie - God knows I'm good, Word on a wing

Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight (a prayer? 'I can hear it coming in the air tonight, O Lord')

Supertramp - Soap box opera ('Father Washington.... collecting sinners in an old tin cup')

Elton John - Dear God

Andrew Lloyd Webber - Joseph

Donny Osmond - Let my people go

Billy Joel - Ain't no crime

Jackson 5 - If'N I was God

Coldplay - God put a Smile on my Face

Led Zeppelin - In my time of Dying, Stairway to Heaven

The Who - Love Reign o'er Me.

Bruce Springsteen - Adam Raised a Cain

Bee Gees - The Lord

Simon and Garfunkel - Mrs Robinson

Bob Marley - One Love

U2 - Until the End of the World

The Byrds - Turn! Turn! Turn!

Frank Sinatra - Lost in the Stars, That's What God Looks Like to Me.

AC/DC - Highway to Hell

Taylor Swift - Soon you'll get better

Beach Boys - God Only Knows

The Rolling Stones - God gave me everything I want, Sympathy for the Devil


"Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels." - Luke 9:26

"The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice," - Philippians 1:18


(I think it may also work with books, eg. Jeffrey Archer - Kane and Abel, also I believe Jeffrey Archer said his writing technique involves praying for ideas and direction)
