An facet of worship in the modern church that is often overlooked is the teaching aspect. Worship is a tool to teach us. It seems to me that this song provides ample oppurtunity to teach about sin, the atonement, God's hatred of sin, etc. No doubt, it is a provocative song, but within the right context i believe this song could be sung to the glory of God in a theologically correct manner. And why has nobody posted the second verse: "In reverance we'll come to Your throne, indebted to Your holy Son. The vine of the earth will be crushed, and Your light will shine over the world..." Apologies about the late post.
