Christian Artists and the Music Industry

"To glorify God, does that mean we have to only write worship songs? Or only write songs that are to Him?" This question and statements like it I heard in class the other day. I'm not going to say whether it is wrong or right but what I think of this. As I consider myself a musician/lyricist, and as a general music admirer I have to say that I think music is emotionally expressing what is in your heart, and pouring your soul into it. This being said, why should we just continue to write songs to God or for God restating things that we have already stated in a new way. Such as new worship songs, that are basically saying the same thing as in the old hymns or older songs. I said "just". So don't start assuming that I think writing songs to God and for God about how we view Him or how we want Him to reign in us, is overrated. I am simply stating that I think as Christians, and as musicians we have to express how we feel. If I am really upset and don't understand what is going on in my life, I will write about it, because I like to journal. I may even write a song about it. It may go something like, "there is all this confusion, nothing to lose, and my heart is so lost in this place, of madness" I can clearly go on to say that something that is going on or why I am confused, and it could be a prayer to God, or you know what it could just be me venting. I could make it into a full song, I could change it to say I'm mad about ___, ____, and ___. I can still do it in a way that in tasteful, and that doesn't go against my Christian views. I don't have to come out and say hey this is about God, and my challenges, I don't have to say this is a prayer, I can just pour out my heart and say I feel discouraged or I feel upset. Even if I write something as a full song, it doesn't mean that I am going to show it to the world. Sometimes I believe, that certain writings are just between you and God. Sometimes there may be a message to share, doesn't have to be the Gospel, could be about anything, getting a cup of coffee, sitting and pondering classic books. Those are probably something I would actually be prone to thinking about or doing. So I apologize for it wouldn't appeal to everyone, but why should it? We are all different and think differently. The word clearly states that, "there is a time for everything" (Ecclesiastes 3) I have seemed to deter from my main subject, but why should we only write things restating things we have previously stated? Shouldn't we be expressing our true feelings? Isn't that what music is? An expression/ expressions? Is it not right to write something or sing something that doesn't necessarily have God as the main focal point? What if we wrote about how we got out of a struggle? Or how we are viewing the world? Does that mean we don't love God? As Christians we are not to cause our brothers or sisters to fall, so if that is happening I can very well understand needing to stop writing whatever it is that is causing that. I believe that we should be able to express ourselves in songs or in just writings. I don't mean that if you happen to write a song on how mad you are that you should publish it or put it into a record and put it out there for the whole world to see, but maybe there is other songs about having someone close to you die and how you are feeling about it. That could be very useful, it could be the words or the message that someone else needs to hear because they are going through the same thing. Anyway I think we should write songs that are yes glorifying to God, but that doesn't mean we should not express certain feelings or expressions that could help someone else that is in the exact spot, or feeling the same thing as us.
