Two Somewhat Related Concerns

I am attempting to write about two problematic occurrences in church music. Both conditions arise from a narcissistic, inward-focused theology of worship, apologetics, and understanding of God himself.
The first looks like this:
“God is love, God does good things. My car battery almost died (or any temporal situation) but then somebody fixed it, and now I know that God loves me.”
There’s nothing wrong with that statement. There error comes in what is implied, or ignored. Aversion of an automobile-related crisis does not prove the resurrection. It does not prove the inspiration of Scripture. It does not prove the deity of Christ, nor his substitutionary death. What then does it prove? It proves that God loves ME, but only to me. It is entirely without objective, empirical implications as to the existence of God, the validity of Christianity, or the eternality of the soul. It simply proves my “God” to me.
The second condition is slightly more complex. It seems that many Christians believe in a supernatural aspect to singing. I am not talking about singing simply being a means of grace (which it is when Christians sing the Word) but rather the belief that music itself has a supernatural aspect, i.e. the act of singing is practically magical. An exclusively Christian, “Spirit-induced” altered state of consciousness is the only/best/most effective way that Christians “experience” God.
Both of these conditions have been caused by, and have caused more church music that is inward-looking, repetitive, and often anti-intellectual (like our Christianity…?). It has resulted in a view of “worship” that is essentially superstitious (like our Christianity?...).
It seems to me that music does not need to have a supernatural quality aside from the Word of God contained or expressed therein. Knowledge changes perspectives and behaviors, sometimes even aside from illumination. For example, a man wrestling with life-threatening kidney disease will typically follow any diet given to him by doctors. This is not supernatural, this is cause and effect. Also, a man who knows that his surgery is complete and successful will experience renewed confidence and hope. Any truth seems to have an affective quality. Similarly, confessing what we know to be true (objective, outside ourselves) to one another strengthens bonds of trust within a community.
I don’t think church music has to be as supernatural and superstitious as we often make it. It is a means of grace, by virtue of being part of the proclamation of the Word; that is if the Word of Christ dwells among us in our singing, then our singing is indeed a means of transformation unto Christ-likeness. But this has to happen by knowledge. Objective truth about the Eternal Being of infinite importance seems to be the best remedy for narcissism and superstition.
