All the members of The Fray are Christian, and they find the label "faith-based band" flattering.

Like Lifehouse, The Fray has music that can be heard on Christian and secular stations alike. U2’s song "Forty" is part of Psalm 40, nearly verbatim is it a "Christian" song?Īnd then there are bands in the middle-bands that have crossed over to the secular market without compromising their faith. Tolkien’s faith is evident in his writing. While the band members claim they are not in a “Christian” band, their faith naturally and inexorably comes out in their words-much like J.

These would include Lifehouse, U2, and Evanescence. There are also bands dedicated to a career in secular music that are comprised of members who claim to have a saving relationship with Jesus. Does that ambiguity negate the spiritual truths found in Mumford & Son’s "I Will Wait"? Although the band’s music explores Christian themes, Marcus has publicly declared he does not identify with the label "Christian," and he has not made his beliefs about Jesus clear.

Like Scott Stapp, Marcus Mumford has a father in the ministry. At the time of this writing, the group under the church microscope is Mumford & Sons. In fact, only the lead singer, Scott Stapp, admitted any connection with Christianity. Some time ago, some confusion arose over the group Creed because their songs reflected some spiritual truths, but the band was not expressly Christian. Many of these songs are performed by individuals who have background knowledge of Christianity but are in a period of searching for what they believe. Then there are songs that reflect spiritual truth but are not specifically written for the Christian community. Or what about songs written and performed by someone once billed as a Christian artist who now lives an unbiblical lifestyle? If the lyrics speak spiritual truth, does the origin of the song matter? However, if the lyrics of a song written and performed by Christians for a Christian audience misinterpret Scripture, can it still be considered "Christian music"? Can a slightly modified cover of a secular song by a Christian artist for a Christian audience be considered "Christian music"? Kansas’s "Carry on Wayward Son" performed by Rachel Rachel and Matt Brouwer’s cover of Sheryl Crow’s "I Shall Believe" come to mind. Many consider a song to be "Christian" only if it is performed by an artist in the Christian music industry and played on Christian radio stations. And many of them focus on everything except the message of the song. There are several aspects of a song that may influence its categorization as "Christian music," but these qualifiers suggest almost as many problems as solutions. The men who sing the song must have short hair, and the women must have long hair. The song must be written and performed by mature Christians only. The melody must be paramount, and the rhythm subdued. The song is designed to be played in church, not outside of church.

The song must be completely new, not a cover of a secular song. The lyrics must directly address God, not other people. The song must be written for Christians and not as an evangelical tool. The song lyrics must directly praise God/Jesus. The song lyrics must reflect biblical truth. Unfortunately, there is no universal definition of what specific qualities a song must have to be considered a “Christian” song.
