I would appreciate your help on this one.
I am writing (well, have written actually) some songs for a girl's choir. Anyway, the musical director is worried that there is too much "God" in the lyrics and that one of the singers (who is a Jehovah's Witness) or possibly her parents, will object and refuse to sing.
btw it is not a religious subject as such, but the work is set in the 17th century and about a time of crisis so the references to God are in context IYSWIM.
I have really no idea about this but am struggling with some rewrites...
what would be offensive/unacceptable for a JW to sing in a secular setting?
e.g. - we must pray that God won't forget the brave.
God has called so many of our friends to be with him.
Enemies of our true God.
what about references to hell?
TIA
