A cry for UR in an awesome Christian Metal song

Yesterday someone shared an awesome song on the Christian Universalist Association Facebook page, called If They’re Not Counted, Count Me Out, by the Christian Metal band Being As An Ocean.

Most of the songs on their album (I checked out their other stuff too) are hard to decipher since it’s screamo metal, but in this particular song, the lyrics are more just passionately spoken (along with some awesome instrumentation, imo :wink:), and thus much easier to understand.
The song is clearly questioning and speaking out against the teaching of everlasting damnation, and goes back and forth between addressing people and God, honestly expressing raw emotion and a wider hope.
It’s deep and powerful, and I can very much resonate with it, as these were the kinds of thoughts and feelings that I had for years, as I wrestled with the doctrine of hell and the image of God that went with it.

Here’s a link to the song on YouTube:

And here are the lyrics:

And that’s the cry of my heart too, and I imagine a lot of others here.

Blessings to you :slight_smile:

PS I think you’ll especially appreciate this, James (aka corpselight) :wink:
