I’ll bet they have an issue with the term “In Christ alone” as well.
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
wow-if they don’t like God’s “wrath”, they better not read the Bible!
From what I’ve read, the Pagan Church USA gave that concept up decades ago.
WINDHAM
Broad is the road that leads to death,
And thousands walk together there.
But wisdom shows a narrow path,
With here and there a traveler.
The fearful soul that tires and faints,
And walks the ways of God no more.
Is but esteemed almost a saint,
And makes his own destruction sure.
“In Christ Alone” is one of the few modern songs my congregation regularly sings.
Based on what I’ve seen, PC USA is all about “Social Justice Jesus.”
Here is an awesome and relevant tweet from Pirate Christian Radio sent only a few minutes ago. If I knew how to paste a picture I would.

Luke 19:26-27 MKJV
(26) For I say to you that to everyone who has, more will be given. And from him who has not, even that which he has will be taken from him.
(27) But those who are my enemies, who did not desire that I should reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.
I would have expected them to put it in their hymnbook with modified lyrics. That’s common enough.
Great song. As a gift, we had a professional calligrapher write the last verse, then we had it matted and framed for a friend who was facing cancer treatments. It was the “perfect” gift for her situation.
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the powr of Christ in me;
From lifes first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No powr of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the powr of Christ Ill stand.
Sing the Psalms.
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to
grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin,
he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days,
and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
What these people want is either the endless repetition of a banality, or some sort of mushy "Jesus is my Boyfriend" drivel.
Guarantee thay won’t be putting the Louvin Brothers’ “Broadminded” in their hymnals any time soon.

“Apparently the reason the Presbyterian Church USA doesnt like In Christ Alone (one of my favorites), is because of that unpopular, un-politically correct word, Wrath.”
The reason the Presbyterian Church USA doesn’t like “In Christ Alone” is they shun the FEAR OF THE LORD.
JOHN 3:19-21
19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.
21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
I disagree with much of its theological point, but that's another matter.
PC should stand for “Politically Correct” instead of “Presbyterian Church” in the name of this group.
