This Kiss
Faith Hill · The Hits
A fun, innocent celebration of romantic joy, nothing deeper or darker.
Where the words land
Signal: Edifying, leaning worth weighing.
What do these signals mean?
- Edifying: Points the heart toward God, truth, hope, or love.
- Worth Weighing: Real good and real concern together. Test it before you take it in.
- Strained: Strains against Scripture: leans toward what could dull or mislead.
- At Odds: At odds with Scripture: celebrates what it warns against. Little here builds up.
Weighed against Scripture
“My beloved is mine and I am his; he pastures his flock among the lilies.”
Scripture itself delights in romantic love and devotion between two people; this playful declaration mirrors that same joyful belonging.
“May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth: A loving doe, a graceful fawn— may her breasts satisfy you always; may you be captivated by her love forever.”
The exuberant, almost giddy delight in a partner's affection echoes the Bible's own affirmation that romantic joy is a good gift, not something to be ashamed of.
In short
This is a bubbly, lighthearted song about the overwhelming rush of new romance, nothing more sinister than that. It doesn't reach toward God or away from Him; it's simply reveling in human delight and attraction. There's nothing here to trouble a listener, but also nothing meant to build up the soul in any deeper way.
- Spiritual posture
The song is about romantic infatuation, not spiritual searching or despair. It's lighthearted and earthbound in focus.
- Apparent intent
A fun celebration of falling in love, meant to be joyful and danceable rather than to teach or provoke.
What do these ratings mean?
- Lyrical content, what the words say on the surface. Clean: nothing coarse, sexual or violent. Mild: a trace of it, by allusion or a rare word. Strong: profanity, sex or violence in plain words. Explicit: graphic, or sin held up to admire.
- Spiritual posture, where the song's heart points. God-honoring: toward God, truth or hope. Searching: honestly reaching or wrestling toward truth, without arriving. Neutral: spiritually indifferent; neither reaches nor rejects. Dark: despairing, nihilistic, self-exalting or hostile to God.
- Apparent intent, what the song is for. Edifying: worship, encouragement, honest lament. Cathartic: letting grief, anger or longing out, told honestly. Ambiguous: hard to say what the song is for. Harmful: celebrates evil, mocks faith or draws toward sin.
