I hate to be the lyrics curmudgeon, but sometimes I just get really bugged by a certain Christian song. It's actually been weeks that I first heard this song, but I've been really busy. It's time to talk "VIP" by Manic Drive. It's a catchy, fun-for-kids kind of song if you haven't heard it (the rapper has some annoying tendencies that make it hard to understand a few words), but I'm not sure it's all that innocent in its core theology. Here is the entire lyric from the air1 website, so it's going to be as close to right as I'll probably find on the internet: Ladies and gents, welcome to the rock show, center spotlight and we watch the stage glow Here's what I think the song is going for: God created every human as a unique and priceless treasure in His image. Jesus Christ died so that every such human would have not only access to God Himself but also have abundant life right here. That's the "VIP treatment" from God. That's a message I want everyone to know because it's true. Every single one of us is of utmost importance to God our Creator. That's not my problem.
My problem is the use of the VIP imagery.
