Brandon Lake Criticizes Worship Songs in Church for Having ‘Christianese’ Language like ‘Holy Holy Holy’
Brandon Lake is the worship pastor of Seacoast Church, a 14,000-member nondenominational multisite megachurch in South Carolina.
Formerly a member of Bethel Music and Maverick City Music, he’s also a talented songwriter and singer whose music has garnered him heaps of praise and accolades, including 10 Grammy nominations (and five wins,) nearly 40 Dove award nominations (and 10 wins), and a raft of Billboard music awards and ASCAP Christian Music Awards. His best-known songs include “Gratitude,” “That’s Who I Praise,” “Graves into Gardens,” Praise You Anywhere,” “This is a Move,” and “Rattle.”
He also released “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” a praise and worship-type song that he co-wrote with Elevation Worship’s Steven Furtick and Chris Brown, and which he recently collaborated with musician ‘Jelly Roll’ on for a new version.
During a recent appearance on The Bryce Crawford Podcast, where he confuses who the church is for and what the nature of praise and worship to God is, Lake offers that churches are singing songs with too much “christianese” language like ‘Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God Almighty.’
I think- last thing I’ll say is like, I’d love to see more worship sets, more churches, kind of keep Bubba in mind. Like we call him Bubba, the guy who’s like in the back of the room and he’s like, he got dragged there by his wife. And I just don’t know if, like, when your opening song or the most of your songs have so much Christianese language, I think he has a hard time going like, ‘can I sing that? Like I’m not there yet.’
I think he hears a (Hard Fought Hallelujah) and I’m not, I’m not saying Hard Fought is the answer, but like, I love like, like when your first song is like, Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty.’ I think he’s going like, ‘What does ‘holy’ mean? Like holy crap? what? I don’t know. Obviously that’s where we want to get to in a worship set is where it’s just every eye is fixated on him. Right. And it’s just like everyone- it’s like vertical. But like give Bubba some language. He can be like ‘alright, I find myself in that song. I feel like that’ you know? And and hopefully that’s what some of my music can continue to do.

Really ? Is this what passes for “leaders” in the church today ? No wonder itching ears are flocking to them and those thirsty for truly worshiping God are leaving !
Woe to these who turn the worship of God into entertainment and pollute the churches with their demonic nausea.
HOLY HOLY HOLY IS THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY -WHO WAS AND IS AND IS TO COME !!!!!!

Not having hymnals = heretical.
Having rock band = not a church but a syngogue of Satan.
One of the teenagers I know introduced me to Lake’s song “Gratitude.” Great song. My issue was (I’ve never heard of the guy) was looking at the album cover – he looked like a girl with long hair wearing the wide brimmed hat that all millenial and snowflake women wear in the Fall and Winter. I mentioned the album picture to two of the teenagers and they agreed saying “he looks like a girl.”
This guy is just a prime example of what the “purpose driven” and “seeker sensitive” movement of the late 1980’s and forward did to our young in the American church. They have no Bible knowledge, respect for God, lvoe and accpetance of Jesus and no BIblical worldview. These are the young who were entertained in church, coddled by their parents, result of divorce sweeping the American family. So sorry for those who disagree with me, but when I see someone who has so many tattoos that you can’t see just regular skin anymore tells me all I need to know about someone. See how easy it will be for so many to take the mark? “Hey, we have this special tattoo you can get to show your love of………” and they will come running.
Our young people have no true role models anymore. Just sad.
Tatoos = does drugs. Period. You can’t change my mind.
No, tattoos nowdays = gay.
Lake is just spewing the same lies and deception that Rick Warren wrote in the book “40 days of Purpose” for churches. Same exact thing. This time now it is for “Bubba.”

This is unreadable with all the “likes.” Edit those out when you’re quoting someone.
THAT is is why it is hard to read for you?
What likes? I didn’t see any likes. Maybe you need a better browser or to turn off embedded tweets.
Well… Then it wouldn’t be a quote. 😆
Sorry, but you’re hearing the exact verbose crud spewed from the speaker. It gives us an idea of what he’s like.
It’s like, a good article like…like I really like it, like…like it means a lot to, like, me, like…
Just go back to the doctrine that TATTOOOS ARE SIN and the problem is fixed. All these filthy animals with tattoos are the problem. One tattoo = disqualified from ministry FOREVER. This also means James White is disqualified. And James White is even more disqualified for being an old fool, in that he got his tats at like the age of 65. I mean come on. Anyone who says “tattoos are only sin if they’re for the dead” should just be excommunicated. Until your church takes my position outlined here, your church is trash.
Anyone who even believes its valid to have rock music in church is unsaved.
Anyone who opposes the restoration of hymnals is antichrist and Judas Iscariot.

“This is a Move” includes the line, “Bodies are still being raised.” When I first heard that, I deduced that the song must come from Bethel Redding, where they claim they’re literally raising the dead. Sure enough…
This is a highly inflated and divisive account of a very innocent comment. Brandon Lake is an extremely anointed young man who is doing wonderful things for the kingdom of God. Not only should you be ashamed for twisting his comment so badly you should be very concerned because the word of God is very clear about what happens to people who attack His Anointed.
The idea of an “annointing” is heretical by itself. The Bible doesn’t teach this nonsense. Only Christ was anointed, and none of you fools are.
He’s anointed with gay by the devil.
This Antichrist heretic, Joan, even capitalizes Anointed as if this heretical tattooed freak is the Christ. Anointed = Christ and Christ = Anointed. In the Old Testament David being called “the Lord’s Anointed” or Saul, notice they are the SOLE king, and they are a type of Christ in that. So as Jeff noted, only Christ is Anointed. First person to start teaching that pastors have an “anointing” and calling himself “anointed” seems to have been Rod Parsley on TBN in the 1990s. Drop this heresy and quit BLASPHEMING by calling false teachers “Christ.”
We all want “Bubba” to find Jesus. The best way is by us not hiding Jesus from “Bubba”. I think I see Lake’s point , but I also see a danger of introducing humanism instead of the Gospel even in our music. We can’t hide from Bubba what we believe. We must be upfront with him Who we serve. The church needs to introduce themselves to Bubba during the handshake time and make him feel welcomed. Then hopefully from there he will hear the Gospel that will draw him to repentance and accept Christ Who paid Bubba’s sin debt. Bubba must hear how Holy God is!
Brandon has some nerve! It’s like he’s straight up copying the Apostle Paul who said he would be “all things to all people” (1 Cor 9). Can you believe his nerve?? This freakin’ guy, listed in Acts 17, attempted the utter blasphemy of calling attention to the UNKNOWN GOD – all for the sake of “Bubba!” How dare he write some much of the New Testament with all this problematic theology!
If Christians were keeping the Gospel front and center in their lives, they would realize the responsibility to evangelize begins with THEM. It’s easy to criticize the guy trying something different from your couch…on your phone…
