The Psychology of Worship in Lyrical Content: Framing the Worship Setting

Many pastors and worship leaders propose that any song,   whether originally purposed for Christ or not, when put into the context of a worship setting can be used to glorify God.  The present study will explore whether or not framing has any effect in the presentation of    secular, non-God centered, or ambiguous lyrical content when this same said lyrical content is presented in the context of a worship setting, where the goal is to elicit a response from the audience.
