A two pronged question ...
I went back and read the actual lyrics and what they said was "what can wash away my sins"
The key word there is *my*
If it said *your* instead of my - but still in song lyrics I would call it a grey area for Dr. Bob.
And if it said *your* and was *not* in a song I would have considered it against the guidelines.
When I read the lyrics they seemed to me to be reflective and inward-looking, which I don't think would be likely to incite anything. I think (my opinion only, which could be flawed) as long as people are inward-looking there will be no harm.
I think, too, when people list favorite religious songs they are usually considering the lyrics last. Before the actual words could come the music, or memories of happy times, or something else not word related.
I'm a bit partial to Amazing Grace, partly because I like the song, but mostly because of the history of how it was written.
Am I making any sense?
