Church songs got *weird* while I was gone...

So long setup short, we had to take my very elderly (almost 100 years old) grandmother to church and sit through the sermon. Which we did, as something for her.

The songs being sung in that Southern Baptist church got WEIRD since the last time I was in one.

First one was straight up necromancy, talking about "Every time I say your name, something arises from the grave" over and over again. Like to the point my wife is wanting to look that song up to be the theme song of her Grave domain cleric in D&D.

Then there was the one I'm calling The Sex Song that was just "Oh God, I need you!" being said over and over again.

Then the super peaceful one about "My praise is a weapon" that "will drown my enemies" and "tear down the walls of Jericho" (though it did stop short of mentioning killing every man, woman, and child inside the city, so thats good I guess?).

Did I mention that service was a kid's day one, so there were a bunch of 7 and 8 year olds singing about how they would drown their enemies and raise "things" from the grave (it never specified exactly WHAT was being raised)?
