A God Constrained by Language and Labels

I was listening to a song from "The Fighting Temptations" soundtrack, called "He Still Loves Me."

Seems like I always fall short of being worthy
'Cause I ain't good enough, but He still loves me
I ain't no superstar
The spotlight ain't shinin' on me
'Cause I ain't good enough, but He still loves me

Then I noticed that the lyrics only refer to God/Jesus with a pronoun. A producer told me that some labels restrict the use of religious words in their songs. Why? Are they worried about offending Christians with Christian language? Or running off their crossover market of non-believers, who the labels assume prefer "inspirational" music? I thought "Jesus" was a five letter word.

Some gospel artists believe it's not possible to deliver the Message, unless biblical jargon is used. They're the ones who think prayer only works on students if it's done inside a school. Does God's power vanish when the bell rings?

Or when His vessel is an R&B singer? Consider the Anthony Hamilton-performed, "Pass Me Over."

Don't be afraid
He* who knows will make a way
His* word alone is what has kept me
Born the son, king of eternal peace
Lay your burdens down."

* There's that pronoun business again.

One of my past choirs refused to sing this gospel-suggestive song, I was told, because Anthony is "secular." Suddenly, the lyrics didn't matter. Talk about missing the point.

I hope God cannot be constrained by language, or genre labels. Else we're in trouble.
