“prom date” songs

Prom date songs. Gonna remember that one.

I'm gonna get flammed for this one, but it won't be the first time.

It's no different than this cherished Evangelical "hymn:"

And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.

Really?!? In the 2000 years since Jesus saved his own, no one has known the same joy?

[Colonel_Flagg]

A little context is good when describing “In the Garden”, which you cite.

The hymn is based on John 20, and C. Austin Miles, who wrote it, notes that it is about Mary being the first person to see the risen Christ.

I should think that since no one else on Earth was yet aware that Christ had risen from the dead, “none other” would ever know that joy until it was spread. Her joy was unique.

Not a ‘prom date’ song or anything like it.
