Sing a new song doesn’t mean every form of music is acceptable and pleasing to God simply because of references to Christ in it.
Try listening to “Christian Thrash” and “Christian Speed Metal” sometime. They have references to Christ in there, though the average person will never even hear it, they sound no different than any other thrash or speed metal bands. And if you can’t tell the difference between what’s suppsosed to be “Christian” and what’s secular, you’ve got a big problem there.
We are to conform the world to us, not conform to the world. That’s what you do when you try to wrap Christianity into secular veneers of music.
