Myth in Mass Media

I have really been into music lately. It's been really soothing to listen to and has given me some interesting thoughts lately. As I was listening to music tonight I heard the song Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone) by Christ Tomlin. As I listened to this song I realized that it was part of the myths we discussed in class on Thursday. I think it best fits into the Coming of the Messiah myth the best. I know it seems original but there have been a lot of songs that have been touching me a lot lately and this is one of them. Anyways, I feel like this song is falls into the Coming of the Messiah myth because it talks about us all being lost and wretches but then we have a great God who comes to save us. We would not be able to continue life without someone willing to be our Savior. I also think that this song could possibly fit into the Pull yourself up by your bootstraps myth because Jesus knew that we were the reason he was going to have to die even though he was sinless. The song talks about him coming to save us and to some degree when he went through and died on the cross for our sins he was able to pick us all up since we can now be forgiven of our sins. However, if he would not have chosen to come and save us we would till be stuck, lost, and drowning.
