“Make You Mine” by Stryper

Song: “Make You Mine”
Artist: Stryper
Album: Reborn (2001)
Track: 4

One of the biggest problems in “Christian” “music” today, besides really horrible theology, is the “Jesus is my bearded girlfriend” style of tune.  These are the songs where you’re pretty sure the singer is singing about his girlfriend until he says a line that cannot be interpreted as anything but singing to Jesus, and you get that really queasy feeling when you realize what the band has been singing to God.

One of the reasons I like the hard rock bands, besides the fact that hard rock is awesome, is that there aren’t a lot of these songs.  There are a lot of tunes like “Open Your Eyes” and “Reborn,” but not so much about cuddling with Jesus.

But I keep looking at the lyrics on this one, and it’s very borderline, and it’s taking some work to figure out what this is about.

“When Did I See You Cry” by Stryper


Song: “When Did I See You Cry”
Artist: Stryper
Album: Reborn (2001)
Track: 3

It has been a little while since we looked at Stryper’s Reborn album, but I haven’t forgotten about it.  The first two songs were pretty solid theologically (and musically, I might add), so let’s dig a little deeper.
