I listen mainly to christian praise and worship songs and I always listen carefully to the lyrics to make sure they glorify God. I stopped listening to secular music many years ago because I felt they did not help me grow in my christian walk. But if I'm somewhere and they are playing secular music, I don't leave but i would be very uncomfortable if the song was full of swearing or bad words and that could cause me to leave the place. I think you have to be sensitive to your conscience, if you are listening to a song that you know is not edifying you or your christian walk and maybe even has blasphemous lyrics, I think it's best not to listen instead of rationalising it. There are so many lovely worship songs on YouTube like the ones from Bethel music, that you can listen to.
Praising and worshiping God through music and song is very uplifting and in the bible it says God inhabits the praise of his people.
Thanks for the warning

That's why I created this thread. There are Christians sustaining that listen to music, but be self aware of its meaning, yet not following it, can be considered okay and you can freely listen to it; whilst other Christians, sustain you shouldn't listen to no music, but the one that prises God (some say you should even avoid the one that prises God because ' you can never know what it may hide ').
As Magenta said, Jesus wouldn't be disappointed from a follower of His.
But, of course, every Christian wants to do his/her best for be a good child to Him. So I don't want to 'go for it', just because I like doing something, without informing myself about if wrong or not. I want to take a solid decision and I'm still deciding.
And, I feel sorry for what you feel while listening to such music. I,also, feel uncomfortable while listening to swearing, generally. Especially now that I want to be nearer to God. Hope you'll get a way out of that situation. God Bless.
