Compare these two worship songs for a moment…
| In the Secret | In the secret,
In the quiet place In the stillness you are there In the secret, in the quite hour I wait, only for you ‘Cause I want to know you more Chorus I want to know you I want to hear your voice I want to know you more I want to touch you I want to see your face I want to know you more I am reaching for the highest goals That I might receive the prize Pressing onward Pushing every hindrance aside Out of my way Cause I want to know you more |
Secret
Things haven’t been the same Since you came into my life You found a way to touch my soul And I’m never, ever, ever gonna let it go Happiness lies in your own hand It took me much too long to understand How it could be Until you shared your secret with me You gave me back the paradise That I thought I lost for good You helped me find the reasons why It took me by surprise that you understood You knew all along What I never wanted to say Until I learned to love myself I was never ever lovin’ anybody else

Worship songs, oh did I say worship songs? Sorry, only the first one hails from the Christian music industry. The second hails from Madonna. Spot the difference?
