"It's all about ME".....the direction of....

Hi all!
I seem to be on a roll today! (this is what--my 3rd or 4th reply!)
Regarding "Jesus is my superhero". . .I've never heard the song, but if it's come out of Hillside, I'm sure it's being used by God as is most all if not ALL of their music/songs. Personally, I wouldn't like it much. . . .I'd have a hard time wrapping my mind around the concept of Jesus being my "superhero". I've heard that some people also had issues with Matt Redman's song--Once Again. . . they didn't like the tag: "thank You for the cross . . . my friend". Mainly because they thought we'd lost the respect for Jesus, calling Him our "friend". Biblically, wasn't Jesus called the "friend of sinners"???
I think this is another one of those splitting hairs kind of topic / issue. Some seem to think we have lost the respect (biblical fear) that we once had and are now far too familiar with Jesus.
Jesus is the "Son of God", our "Saviour", hopefully our "Lord", "friend of sinners"? "Lover of my soul". In being the "Son" of God, He is our Brother as well as our Saviour and Lord, which makes us "joint heirs with Jesus" (also a biblical concept).
How then, can we maintain the respect, reverential fear AND be joint heirs with Jesus??? To me, this begs the question, if Jesus was "all things to all men", what's wrong with a song like "Jesus is my Superhero". . .if it reaches youth and draws them into intimacy with Him?
I don't enjoy many hymns. I don't necessarily "worship" when "singing" them. Some people do. I don't understand that at all. Same kind of concept.
I look forward to hearing back on this one.
blessings!
Moe.
